[Scenario] You're On A Once In A Lifetime Hunting Trip In Africa. You've Chosen Your Weapon Wisely. What Watch Are You Wearing? (alien.top)

You fly in & take 4x4 deep into the wilderness with all the gear you need for a few weeks. You're deep in the bush for 14 days living in canvas tents & sleeping on cots. Evenings are filled with bonfires and swapping stories with your hunting buddies and the native guides that are showing you the region. You brought 1 really good book to enjoy during down time. You brought 1 watch. Which one?

A solar garmin

I agree. A supremely useful far from the modern world tool. Runs for days and if set properly, weeks. You can navigate to where you started the day on the watchface. That alone can get you out of a bad situation.

Timex Expedition North Field Chrono

I’d go with anything under 32mm and with a smooth bezel as I’d hope this would easily pass through the digestive system of the animal that eats you (hopefully). Shoot with a camera

The one that reminds me hunting for sport is pathetic, and the watch is enough to cover my insecurity without taking life.pyrely for pleasure.

Now hunting for sustenance is one thing, but trophy hunting?

Absolutely no respect. Maybe if you doing bow and arrow, but it's not a sport anymore than me doing the 200m on a dirt bike against a bunch of sprinters.

Enjoy your watch.
