This or a F91-W if you're super poor. I wore a F91-W for years until the battery died and I just bought a nicer G-shock.

Havent had any experience with the g-shock getting in the way. Also have a suunto core all black, which is also a good watch. I just dislike the battery and the finish. But I loved the large head, ability to lock the screen somewhat, euro date order.

Why bother getting a heavy, bulky, uncomfortable watch with "g-shock" protection when digital Casio watches cost less than 10 bucks and are perfectly fine, unobtrusive gadgets that do exactly what watches are supposed to do? They're indestructible and last for ages, too.

This. If I were looking for a watch for a job that could get as physical as I imagine LEO jobs get I wouldn't want some super heavy rugged tactical pseudo crap. I'd go with some cheap funtional stuff that wouldn't cost me more than a shrug if I damaged it.

Because I am an LEO and want advice on what watch to get?

I have a Fitbit (yeah whatever) and want something rugged that can take a beating as well as not being too chunky (G-Shock) and maybe have a bit more functionality if possible...

[Anonymous No.12815759]

>>12815738
Honestly, just get that. I would go with the plane jane version, but to each his own I guess.

The other G-Shocks are too fucking big and gimmicky. Brands like Luminox and other "tactical" watches are overpriced, and no "operator" or LEO is actually using them.

>>12815758
You don't really need any functionality besides time, date, and stopwatch. It's cool, but all the extra shit clutters up the dial, and no one really uses it.

Just buy the DW-5600 G-Shock: it's simple, can take a beating, and it's cheap af to replace if you somehow break it.

The only criticism i have is that the "adjust" button in the top left corner is recessed, and hard to press in without a little bit of a long fingernail.

[Anonymous No.12815761]

>>12815751
The pseudo crap, is crap. You're paying 200 bucks for something that does exactly the same thing as the F91's and Dw-5600 G, which are way less. That being said, they'd probably do fine.

I'd stay away from it though.

>>12815741
They're VERY chunky. I had a hard time getting my old one under the sleeve of a winter coat.

The DW-5600 is actually kind of big, sit's higher than you'd expect, but you won't have that problem.

>>12815744
This is true. The point of a watch, at it's base, is to have a portable piece, that can let you check time at a quick glance. Why get one with a screen that actively works against your eyes?

Sorry anon, got ahead of myself. You speak truth. "Tactical watches" are the best indicator of a dumb mall ninja.

I will say though, that Luminox's luminescence and legibility are fantastic. However you pay out the ass for a tiny swiss quartz movement, in a fat, overpriced case.

heavy duty requires heavy duty watches.

I only work a particular security job and it's not physically demanding for a job so I just got a Casio W59 that works perfectly fine and I occasionally need to know the time. some don't wear a watch on the job but it's really useful to have one.

the brand is excellent if you want the best bang for your buck. So reliable. Digital > Analog meme as well.

Do you all have Asperger's? Did your dad just give you that watch for your 13th birthday? You're wearing the air monarchs of wrist accessories. Why would you ever wear something so plasticky and bloated? So you can tell me Greenwich mean time? So you can leave it on and go for a dip in some whitewater rapids? So you can kill five minutes trying to set a alarm with one hand on that shitty little display, instead of doing it on your smartphone in two seconds like a neurotypical human being? Because of muh shock-resist?? Your delicate little thinspo wrists aren't going to resist anything anyway. Why don't you at least get something that looks proportional on them.

get a F-91w or GW-M5610 if you want better features that will last you 10+ years without battery change. and DON'T get anything with negative display.

[Anonymous No.12820770]

>>12820262
>has 30m WR though

more would be better. at least give that watch 50m. that's probably a marketing ploy. take away one feature so that all the other really cheap and shitty watches don't get overlooked all of a sudden because of muh EL backlight.

also the backlight for F91 and W59 is fine and does its job. people say it's weak because they thought it would be EL initially but it goes across the whole display nicely and you can read it just fine. the B640 even has dual leds. one on the right side too.

I'm a paramedic and have exactly that watch

It's great. I wear it whenever I work and almost every other day too. Have had it about 2 years. Can't seem to even scratch the glass. I read it fine in the dark without activating the light, but a non-inverted would be even easier.

Looks way better than any other g-shock

I wonder if it's true. like, with analogs people claim that black dials and white hands are easier to read than white dial and black hands.

but for digital displays visa-versa seems to be true.

This is true. Having worked in the animal husbandry industry for a number of years, I can tell you from long experience that when you're inside a mare elbow deep on a daily basis, most digital watches can't take the abuse. Not so with the Casio F91W. I've had mine for years and it's been in more moist, tight situations than you can possibly imagine, and it still works great.
