Present for my infantry son, thinking about a really good awesome military, useful watch. Any recommendations?
Main Post:
My son is in OSUT week 12 to 13, he has Holiday coming up, I wanted to get his something he can bring back and actually use, so I was thinking a bad ass military approved (meaning they will allow him to wear and use it) watch. Any recommendations? Thought I'd ask the amazing military 🪖 here.
Edit: Thank you for all the responses!! All of you are amazing with all of the ideas! I really do appreciate it!

What watches do soldiers wear in the military?
Main Post:
Hi everyone, As a young guy interested in military topics, I’ve been thinking about buying a watch that soldiers actually wear — something that has been personally tested and proven by military personnel. I’m looking for a watch that could survive the apocalypse, active combat situations, extreme environments, and so on — basically, something that could handle the same conditions the military and especially special forces face.
After a bit of research (with the help of ChatGPT), I’ve narrowed it down to two options:
- Marathon GSAR Arctic
- Casio G-Shock GW-M5610U
I really like both models, but the Marathon is too expensive for me. Right now, I just can’t afford something that luxurious, so I’m leaning toward the second option, since my budget is around €200.
What do you think about this? Do you have any suggestions for a watch that could survive literally anything and would never let me down? Something on the same level as the watches I already mentioned? Maybe some watches I haven’t discovered yet?
I’m really hoping to hear from active or former military members, or from someone who truly knows about this topic — real experts, basically!
Thanks a lot in advance for any advice!

How can I watch Swiss Army Man?
Main Post:
This movie piqued my interest from the moment I saw a trailer, months ago. I've been waiting all that time, and when the time finally came it seems something fishy is going on. My local theater chose not to play it, in fact almost NO theaters in my area were playing it, save one that's 45 minutes away. I was happy to see a theater had it, but less than a week later (Before I was able to see it) it disappeared.
Now, I suppose it's possible that I just missed the boat on this one, but I love films and I check what's playing at my local theaters at least once a week, and I can honestly say Swiss Army Man never came. At this point I'm getting a tad desperate, to be honest I don't even care if it's good or not I just want to see it. I need to.
I've gone through less than legal avenues, as well, looking for a torrent or a stream anywhere and everywhere, and to my absolute astonishment I can't even find a crap cam version.
I'm at a loss. How in the world can I see this film? Why did it not come to my area? What is happening?
Top Comment: The theaters around me just dropped it about 2 weeks ago, you might have to just wait for the Blu Ray or Rental

Anyone Watch Army Wives?
Main Post:
My mom used to love the show “Army Wives” that I believe came on lifetime? Since my bf left in April, she told me I should start it since that may be my future.. I started it and I am still on season 1 bc the commercials on the abc app feel like they take up so much time (damn Netflix n Prime for spoiling me with commercial free watching).
I cry. Like on every episode. There’s been happy tears sometimes just from seeing literal extras on the show who have no plot whatsoever whenever they’re in the background getting reunited with family, and there’s sad tears for all the goodbyes and bad news that is bound to come up in the show.
It’s like 14 years old, so it’s a ~little~ dated, but even just being an Air Force gf, I feel like I can put myself in their shoes so easily!
So far I’d recommend it to anyone, especially those with military s/o. There’s even an army husband on the show who is a main character with a storyline.(:
Anyway, anyone watching/watched it? Is it worth keeping up with? Pls no spoilers!!
Top Comment: A few friends and I watched it a few years ago and really couldn’t with it. It’s such an unrealistic show compared to real life — but that’s tv! If you enjoy it then enjoy it!
Preferred watch in the military
Main Post:
I am looking for a watch that is suited for active duty (preferably a smart watch [doesnt have to be a smart watch though), and my question is: what do you guys wear, which experiences did you have?
Top Comment: Well, there’s the cheap-o Casio digital watch like everyone buys in basic that’s kinda become a running joke for how stupid durable they are. Seriously though, I mostly saw G-Shocks or similarly durable designs, but keep in mind I’m an early 2010s GWOT vet.
[Military] What watches do you wear in the military?
Main Post:
I’m curious, what watches do you wear in the military? Are you issued watches or can you wear your own? What branch are you in and why is your watch relevant to it?
Top Comment: Made my own! Ignore the date wheel I had to switch it out but. I'm a CG helicopter rescue swimmer and put my own flare into it with my swimmer number, our motto, and RS wings at the 12:00 :)
Watch enthusiasts?
Main Post:
Wondering what are some nicer watches other than just a Casio or g shock that I can get away with wearing in uniform?
Top Comment: If you don’t care about hoopla and extra gadgets, a Hamilton or Bulova field watch does well, especially in a SCIF.
