Anyone have any watch suggestions that would comply with the USAFA regulations for BCT?
Thank you
 
The best I can tell from the regs is that it must be black, brown, tan, or olive drab, with no ornamentation or decoration.
I would go simple and cheap, like an Armatron for $20 or a Timex Ironman or Expedition for $30. One feature that may be handy is a vibration alarm.
 
In my experience, the Casio G-Shock is a great watch for military training. It's really tough and has useful features like a stopwatch, alarm, and light. Just make sure to get one in a plain color like black to follow the USAFA rules.

Another watch I'd recommend is the Timex Ironman. It's also durable and has important features for training. Plus, it comes in different neutral colors. I think the Timex Ironman Classic 30 is a solid choice.
 
All watches were taken away during BCT in my ds's flight so getting him a dumb watch didn't matter. We did get him a Garmin Instinct for after BCT which has been awesome. We'll get ds#2 one whether he ends up going to USAFA or ROTC. All around great watch (I have one myself).

Garmin Instinct - those are nice.
I had them in orange a while ago but lost them. I just came home one day and noticed the watch was missing on my wrist. Still, have no clue how it happened.
