This is as vulgar as it gets, and only like-minded people will appreciate you for it.

Most of those are dive watches.

They have large lume dots and lumed hands so they're visible underwater, and a rotating bezel so you can time your dives (only turns one way so if you bump it, it only subtracts time, it never adds it).
