What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

I'm sure this presumably Made in China watch is suffering from problems in translation. Not sure what "hunt" one might wear it.

I’m very pleased with this watch. I love the classic field watch look and it has all the features I wanted (stainless case, Japanese solar, sapphire crystal, and 100m water resistance). The model I chose also has a textured dial which I love the look of. It reminds me of the dial detail you see on some Japanese watches like kuoe. My only real gripe was a somewhat mediocre, recycled-leather (eco ) strap which I was able to easily, and cheaply, replace with the exact color nato strap I wanted.

I think this watch has better specs (solar and rated water resistance) and appearance than a Hamilton field quartz at a quarter the price.

Great looking set-up there. Adding a NATO strap is always a good move.

I had originally been looking at the seiko sport field watches but I didn’t like that they don’t use sapphire crystal. Then I looked at Hamilton and they don’t do self winding. Then I started looking at Vaers and I really liked their solar field watch but while I was looking into that I stumbled across this particular timex which seemed to check all my boxes with the exception of the strap, which is a cheap fix.

I just don’t get why seiko refuses to offer sapphire crystals in their mid range mechanical watches. I have two quartz seiko dress watches that both have sapphire and we’re about $100 each. So it’s not necessarily price. I’ve read that the hardlex crystal they use is pretty good but it still feels like a compromise.
