What watch do you wear?

Could anyone recommend a cheap outdoor sports watch please? I don't usually wear a watch these days, however I coach and referee weekly and it's a hassle having to use my phone to check the time and stopwatch which is all the features I need and a rubber strap. Thanks in advance.

If you want something fairly cheap I'd recommend the Casio Wv-58U

It'll display both the time and the stop watch at the same time. The downside to this watch is that is wont be as rugged or waterproof as a G-Shock (which will also display the time and stopwatch at the same time).

I was dead set on getting the new Tudor Black Bay 58 when it came out as it's everything I wanted from a tool watch and perfectly sized. But today read about a new model from Baltic which harks back to true dive watch routes.

Looks rather beautiful in the black/cream with the bracelet combo I have to say and the price is excellent.

And best of all? No date window!!!

I've had loads over the years and they all ended up being binned. Over time they stretch, such is the nature of software leather that the holes which were once nice and snug are no longer nice and snug.

Maratac canvas is unbeatable for NATO straps. Never stretches, never frays, never looks tired after years.

Guys, I'm looking for a 22mm strap for my Tichwatch Pro. I know its not the sort of watch you guys usually discuss but I figure you would know where to find the nice straps!

Looking for something leather, preferably quick release. Watchgecko have some nice ones, but non are quick release.
 
I finally found a Black Bay 58! Popped into my local AD today on the off chance and they had one that was reserved by a customer. Part of me hoped I wouldn't be that keen so I didn't need to buy it, but I was very wrong, now I just want it more. They wouldn't let me have that one but I put a deposit down, next one that comes in will be mine but they said they don't expect it to be until March 2019.

Thanks. It's for my memovox and I thought leather nato might look nice on it while i have another strap made.
 
I take my Bremont off every day when I get in from work and put on my Garmin.

This morning I went to put it on, uh-oh.

Part of the bracelet itself has snapped.

I'm just glad it didn't happen when I was wearing it and intoxicated perhaps, as otherwise I may have lost it!

I've always fancied a leather strap for it so may order one. I’ve tweeted Bremont in the hope they may give me a little discount, as the watch is out of warranty.

Oh balls! Least, like you say, it happened when you didn't have it on!
