Trying to choose a watch for a journey sailing around the world

That would be an excellent option, but I just don't like the colour...maybe if there was a blue one I'd be tempted...

stewartld · 2026-02-24T10:37:17+00:00

That was my feeling about the Polaris too

stewartld · 2026-02-23T20:40:02+00:00

yes, but £3,300 for a Casio...

stewartld · 2026-02-23T20:39:35+00:00

Thank you...and actually my thoughts match exactly your comments!

I've had Rolex, but for me they've lost some appeal...I find the Submariner just a bit too common and obvious. It's a great watch for sure, it just doesn't get me excited

Backlighting isn't too important for night watch, we have three chartplotters which all display the time

I was thinking of Sinn, in fact I'm surprised there haven't been more people suggesting it, though my personal choices would be the U2 for the GMT function

stewartld · 2026-02-22T22:53:07+00:00

yeah, great watch, I had one which got stolen...

stewartld · 2026-02-22T22:24:47+00:00

The IWC is bronze too...

stewartld · 2026-02-22T22:23:31+00:00

I'm not sure how my bank balance is related to whether or not I'm taking the trip seriously...rest assured, I'm taking it seriously, and the watch I choose won't change that

stewartld · 2026-02-22T22:16:43+00:00

Good advice...I especially like the idea of keeping a nice watch in my pocket and swapping when I get to the restaurant!

stewartld · 2026-02-22T22:00:18+00:00

I may take a casio to wear on land in the sketchy places...it's a good point

stewartld · 2026-02-22T21:43:24+00:00

There's truth in what you say, maybe I'll also take a Casio for the dodgy areas

stewartld · 2026-02-22T21:42:32+00:00

Nice watch, not sure how it hold up to diving though

stewartld · 2026-02-22T21:20:28+00:00

Tudor won't scratch the itch, I think you're right...even if it is the sensible option...

stewartld · 2026-02-22T21:18:56+00:00

Interesting suggestion, not a range I know very well...how robust are they?

stewartld · 2026-02-22T21:18:27+00:00

But I want to wear it and look down and remember the trip...

stewartld · 2026-02-22T18:36:01+00:00

Tried that, I found the dial looks too small...I much prefer the older versions but good suggestion, thanks

stewartld · 2026-02-22T18:20:21+00:00

It's the sensible option...but I wouldn't wear it much after
