The context of Paul's thread assumes that high tech options will lose value over time due to an apocalypse, which tend to shift technology back towards the bronze age, or at least the wild west. Given the low tech is better constraint, I think mechanical watches have a greater utility in the apocalypse, assuming you intend to live through it. |

I plan on becoming one of the zombies, and going after Jocke.

I had zombie apocalypse as an exercise in a proposal writing seminar. The scenario requires you to define what all the constraints are throughout the period of performance, in addition to meeting contract performance objectives. Dwindling resources is a difficult constraint to propose to, as you can't use your customary processes to execute the contract. The proposal you write for year one has to still work in year eight, after attrition and resource deprivation have gutted your processes.
You'd be surprised how many people struggled with this scenario. |

I expect my Anniversary Seadweller will make a fine zombie apocalypse watch when I get it.

The other good thing about a Rolex is that you could beat a zombie's brains in with one, especially a DSSD. You couldn't do that with a G-Shock; I have a Mudmaster too and while it's a great watch, it wouldn't be much of an attack tool against a zombie. I'm gonna change my mind and use my D-Blue instead.
I still have reservations over a vampire apocalypse though. That said, I wonder if I could reason with a vampire and persuade him (preferably her) to limit their consumption of my blood to a pint or so a week. I need to give this more thought

You can't trust vampires Paul, they'll turn on you in a flash. Better off staying indoors at night. |

Indoors is a safer bet and vamps can't come in unless they're invited. Unless it's their house. I'd be safe in the UK but my condo in Singapore is rented. What if my landlord turns into a vampire? Should I take him out now, return to the UK or just buy my condo? Dang, what's a boy supposed to do? And what would you do if a zombie monkey tried stealing your apple?

The zombie monkey conjures an image of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. These zombie monkeys can be pretty unpredictable. |

I think that same monkey might come after you if he's turned. Your card is marked, mate. He'll be mad for you!

NOMOS Sundial. Never have to worry about batteries, EMPS, or service. Only concern may be nuclear winter where you can't see the sun.

I'll take my Explorer. It took too long to get it to leave it behind.

I've decided firmly on my Sub as my zombie apocalypse watch.

I'd love to see you move that thing quick enough to take out the zombie monkey!

Coincidentally it's the same size as my ring finger so I wear it as a ring occasionally. Otherwise it's on my key ring.
