Күн бұрын

The US military no longer issues a watch to enlisted soldiers, but they can still choose one of their own to support their specific area of focus. As such, watchmakers and gear suppliers still manufacture highly functional, utilitarian tactical watches with ample features well beyond timekeeping for those folks, be it actual members of the military or ordinary civilians. So today, we’re diving into the world of tactical and military-inspired watches - mission capable, practical EDC watches for the industrious everyman you can lean on when it counts.

It puzzles me when I see something like the Suunto, but no one brings up the Garmin Instinct.

@AtlasPainkiller 3 ай бұрын

NVM, I see the tactix. I stand corrected.

I have the Suunto Core on wrist right now and I love it to death but considering what the Garmin Instinct offers at a similar price point it's puzzling that they charge around $300 for the Core. I bought mine years ago at about a hundred bucks which I think is much more reasonable for what you get.

Fun side note: Denzel rocks the Suunto Core in the first Equalizer movie. I still to this day wish the stopwatch function looks like it did in the movie kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rcx-iJl7y6qyj5c.html

I currently have the instinct solar. It's a great watch, battery lasts long. It's great for exercise activities, especially when I go rucking in my unit. I like to keep track of my pace. Highly recommend. Was planning on getting the tactix7 but I'm getting the instinct 2 solar tactical edition. Basically the same as the tactix 7 just not touch screen or high end maps. Highly recommend

Hello and thanks for this video. I'm not into smart watches, but I saw that you'll be reviewing different kind of watches, including "old school" ones. And this review allows me to discover a brand I haven't heard about before, MWC. I don't know if they are good or not, but the brand's website shows some interesting watches. 😀

Surprised to see MWC make this list and not the Sinn UX Hydro which offers an insane 5000m WR and made of German Submarine Steel

The Garmin Tactix is the best one there by far. And you should've added the Garmin Instinct 2X solar tactical too

Probably the seiko in arnie solar in my opinion due to no worries about battery changes in the field. Along with quartz accuracy and robustness.

In the American army, for example, all watches equipped with Bluetooth are not authorized for obvious security reasons. Great video, the Victorinox is my fav in this selection...

Are you in the US Army? They've always allowed smart watched to be worn just not in sensitive briefing rooms or very select special operations or training.

I really wish the suunto had a solar feature to power it indefinitely, that would really seal the deal for me. I love the price and design since its like a non smart garmin.

Marathon is still the, maybe only, supplier of official U.S. military watches. Watches aren’t issued but they can be ordered through a units supply section. They have an active NSN.

honestly, the US military uses GShock so much because every single exchange has a wall of em somewhere in the store. And the average soldier isnt gonna buy a mudmaster, they r gonna but the cheapest one thats in regs, that catches their eye first.

Question for thouse who served. What about noctovision on the modern battle field. Right now it's relative common thing (we can notice that in the RU VS UA conflict). This illumination on the watches should be bright as F. Mil spec smart watches have special low light modes for that, or display is just off. For my humble opinion lumingation on the hands is a good way to get killed.

I doubt military watches should illuminate by itself. Maybe i saw too many action movies!
