Any reccomendations for watches? I was looking into G-Shock and Luminox but no specific models yet.
I guess a watch for uniform use?

Hmmm...

Well, for the bar on Friday nights when drinking copious amounts of beverages, being a "really cool fighter guy..." I have the Rolex. Can't look cool without the mandatory waving of hands, maneuvering them around, and "shooting down the Rolex."

For other days of being "cool" there's the USAFA Tag Heuer. Very nice.

And of course, the use it every day, on every deployment, because it is OUTSTANDING in all aspects?

My ECO Hawk by Citizen with something like 26 timezones and a built in whiz wheel!

If you search these forums, "which watch?" has been addressed.

Think inexpensive, reliable, durable and waterproof--Timex Ironman is a popular choice, and what my cadet wears every day.

Yep, a bit of silly pilot humor there!

Ironman watches seem to be both indestructible and not expensive! I know both my siblings (mountain bikers, climbers, etc...etc...) will wear nothing else!

Bullet always had the ironman for flying. I think one time he did do the G-shock, but overall it has always been the Timex. For the mess dress, then his has a honking big silver TAG.

I'm no hotshot, but Timex Expeditions are great watches--$40 and they have multiple time zones, alarms, and stopwatch settings. They last pretty well.
