Who uses a watch while hunting?

[Sir-diealot]

I dislike wearing a watch. However, most times I do have a pocket watch in addition to my cell phone.

I like pocket watches but most either are very shiny or you can't find one that illuminates. My GF had bought me one but turned out you had to hold it in the light for some time, kinda rough when you are trying to see it at night time.

Would like to but never seem to find a watch with a comfortable strap (Thick wrists) and a green LED light. Hate those metal bands that stretch and come back together, always ripping the hair off my arm. I don't want to spend much on something I will only wear during turkey and deer season.

Try a Casio G-Shock Illuminator, about $35 at walmart.  Great watch and has the green LED backlight you referenced.  Waterproof and comfortable (for me anyway) to wear.

Does not seem bad, would like to try it on in store if they have one this week. Thanks.

I wear one mainly because I never take it off but I got one of the G shocks with a compass and what not in it for if I ever get in one of those sticky situations but I try to cover it with my sleeve when I can. The glass/screen reflecting light to me seems like a dead giveaway but I also tend to sit in shade.

Got a Garmin Instinct to play with this season to easily see sunrise/set, mark roots, truck, and other spots on my Midwest tour. Used to keep a cheap timex on my gun strap the whole season, probable still will, so I always have one without pulling out the phone. I also want to see just how much my heart rate actually goes up when that first Merriam comes into range!

I always have a watch, and a compass.

I wear a gshock range man (older) every day. Unless I'm going to church or dinner.
Solar batteries. Lasts forever. Tells sun up sun down times. Alarms, stopwatch, etc Has a digital compass but really don't need it these days with the maps on phone. Sets itself off world time. It's basically indestructible. Had it probably 10 years never done anything but put it on and wash it.

Always use a G-Shock with a Sun Company Slip-on compass. I don't take my phone hunting, tends to be a distractor.

Pocket watch for me. Growing up on the farm i never wanted to wear something on my wrist to get caught in machinery or broke hitting something. Still ended up breaking a couple cheap pocket watches anyways loading milk cans in the truck.

I wear a watch at all times.
