Actually like yours better than mine. 20200816_154112.jpg

I like the blacked-out look. They are very durable watches.

I wear my Seiko SKX while mowing the lawn. Does that count?

Black dial Pelagos would probably be my first pick in the "haute tactical" world, then probably just any of the standard Marathon watches...

Pelagos would be a great choice.

I've had my Tissot T Touch for nearly 15 years, and have worn it on multiple ski mountaineering trips around the world. It has never let me down, and the altitude function has been a life saver. A true tool watch!

The most tactical watch I've seen is the one worn by Burke [John Lithgow] in the movie Blow Out (1981)

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Marathon. I would hands down wear a Marathon. I have a GSAR and a JSAR and love them both. Plus they are made for the military and contracting work specifically.

Plus - can’t beat tritium tube lume IMO.

Definitely solid watches. No doubt.
