What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

[Inkgardener]

Everybody wants a hunting field watch until it comes time to do hunting field watch shit. Shot the slam on Saturday in the NTTD.

@0002S - I hope you, your Seamaster Diver 300 and the 470NE enjoy the safari. Looking forward to the hunt report. What's on the menu?

Looked like great bullet performance

Looked like great bullet performance

Yes and no. The 150s did exactly what they should have done and held together well. That being said I only used them on animals that I should have used them on.

The Federal soft points stayed together but the first shot hit the left shoulder square. It completely shattered the leg bone. It held together and only went into the left lung about 1/2 way. (at 28 yards with 470). The second shot was quartering away on the left side rear and penetrated about 1/2 forward at towards the front right. It was DOA, but didn't know yet. We gave it some time and it was getting dark. We tracked the blood for about 100m and then it was dark and too thick to take a chance. It wasn't going anywhere so we started up in the morning with a dog. We caught up with it about 75m farther in some real thick shit. The dog kept him occupied and we dumped more into him until he went down. Uneventful and exciting. Nice old bull with hard bosses and nice drop. Euro mount than flat skin.

G Shock GW-M5610 (known as the ‘square’) is the only watch you ever need. Especially the only outdoor watch you need if you like simple, small and comfortable. It is solar atomic, around $100 on Amazon and proven for decades. Never change batteries, and updates atomic time every night. I love my mine so much. Waterproof, bomb proof. There is a reason most soldiers wear G Shocks.

Greatest watch of all time.

Casio Sport. Solar powered charging, altimeter, barometer,compass and the watch is radio controlled so it is always correct and automatically resets for the twice annual time changes. Also water resistant to 10 bars.

Gshock fan too. I favor the more simple ones Like the 9052. Have tried Suntoo and a garmin watch. Back to my g shock. I broke a timex Ironman in the 1990s playing army and bought a gshock. i buy a new one when they get pretty beat up. Maybe 7-8 years. Currently on #4 and #3 is still going fine.
