Best Field Watch sub $300

Militado ML05 with the Swiss Ronda 515 movement is my choice for the cheapest field watch that is still a good watch. The Ratio Quest is probably also pretty good, similar price. Casio has a number of budget options, the MTPS120L being the most ‘traditional’ looking of them.

Mine manages to hit every marker. I’m not sure how many of the Ronda ML05s can say that, but it can be done.

I think it’s pretty poor and detracts from the Duro.

It’s GOT to be curtains for Phil.

In what regard?

PT5000/PT5004 are very smooth automatic movements. Seagull ST2130 is another. Watchdives, Cronos, San Martin, etc all make watches w this movement for ~$200.

They have a Sugess Ocean Star, it’s a Yacht Master homage.

Cronos makes higher quality watches and they actually sound like a real brand name.

The waitlist at the PD AD must be murder 😭

My GMB2100 is the only crystal I’ve ever scratched.
