I'll stay with the Casio World Time. Those batteries last 10 years and are faaar easier to get and change than a capacitor. You could vacuum-seal a few of them and it will barely take up any space or weight. Do the same with a replacement gasket and have a tiny tube of silicone grease plus almost any small screwdriver around and you basically have a complete repair kit, the whole package plus watch will cost you 30 bucks. And you don't look crazy beforehand.

What a great concept, so entertaining that keeps us watch geeks get through these days. keep up the good work!

Only watch nerds want lume. If you ever have to fight or do dangerous things lume is a killer. Ever wonder why spec ops and swat types only wear g shocks

Your standard for chosing watches is right on the mark!! The so-called "zombie apocalypse" scenario is sort of what I contemplate when picking a watch as well. That's why I immediately gravitate toward G-SHOCK. I got the GW-7900B (blackout) version about 3 or 4 years ago. I've pretty much worn it everyday, and it looks it!! G-SHOCK makes some of the world's best!

Plastic in gshock - bad idea

G shock would be definitely one of the answer. Was right. My vote actually goes to the basic G5600E. Simply and lightweight. Last forever. Citizen divers with Ecodrive would be another GREAT alternative. Post apocalyptic world where you can still service watches if there is any survivors. Cheap Hand winding or Automatic will ultimately wins in terms of serviceability. Unless someone retains the production of solar capacitors and quartz, Mechanicals still wins it in long term maintenance in post apocalypse world. I would say, ETA or Unitas for Handwinding, Seiko entry level automatics Nh35A. Or even Seagull st19 for chronos. Inhouse movements are simply too costly to repair or service.

Hey junior. I’m curious how many times (if any). You’ve had it serviced? Thanks!

My Citizen Nighthawk. Slide rule for calculations, durable as hell (mechanic, I’ve been beating it for 5 years now) and goes with anything from tactical gear to a tailored suit. Only weakness is that it is not a sapphire crystal. The apocalypse looks scratchy.

Never heard of that Tissot model before. Fantastic time piece and great video.

Cool video! I loved that "AD" picture!

Great video Chris. All great options. IM0, SeL Instruments Onni Diver is the current king of tough watches.

Great choices my man. But why would we need to tell the time after the end of the world. It’s not like we are going to miss any appointments 🤣🤣🤣. Although I must admit killing zombies while wearing a A Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk would be awesome. Great video as always my friend.

Cool story bro but Rangeman 9400 comes with a defective case that eventually cracks.

skx will be my choice. also any casio gshock dw5600 model (preferably, the ones with negative display).

Got one, I bought a clock for the wrist 3 or 4 years ago, Casio G Shock GPW1000T-1A. Still have it , stopped wearing it since it created to much drag when using it for motorcycling. My second choice would be my Dark Side of the Moon with strategically applied Duct tape around the pushers! Black duct tape no less.

This is literally the funniest watch video I’ve seen . Also very informative.

What's your opinion on the Victorinox inox pro diver?

Fun way to look at watches. Subscribed !

Thanks for the video, interesting choices. I have a G-Shock Rangeman GW-9400-1, which should be able to stand up to nearly anything like the Mudman you showed, but has a few more features, minus the moon phase. I would love to get an automatic watch as I'm impressed by the engineering that goes into them, but am put off by the costly servicing needed. Solar is my first choice.

I’d go regular Pelagos. 500m , big but not too big. Bracelet adjustable for wearing in a variety of conditions.

This is the topic I love, thats why I have Gshock models GWN-1000 and GBD-H1000, I love this tough watches perfect for this situation 😁😁

Very entertaining....good stuff....

I have a Citizen EcoDrive, day/date/moon phase solar 100m. F.P.Journe has a badass quartz, I think it has a 18 year standby mode. Give or take. btw, do you ever review invicta’s? 🤣 no offense but I’ve not seen many of your reviews to know.

That was fun, but you missed the Vostok Amphibia. Durable beyond durable, long living, easily acquired albeit not at that AD

Victorinox Inox - They boiled it and froze it. Think a tank drove over it. Then again, any Steeldive tuna homage would likely survive. Grab a few of them...good to go. No need for an alarm...not like u need to get up to go into work...LOL Mine survived a trip down the road and slid off the roof of my car and into the ditch. Buffed the scratch off the aftermarket clasp.

I'd take the only watch actually tested under Apocalyse condition, i.e. the Seiko Willard from Apocalypse Now.

Apocalypse now!!! Very good choice!

Brilliant vid

Smartwatches will be good idea?

I'm sure I'm late to the party. I'd say a Kinetic watch because if the sun were to go out, your solar watch wouldn't work. Also, water resistant up to 200 meters. Quartz, the battery would die. Automatic, you'd need to get it serviced. I think that's it for my 2 cents.

I have been using Gshock g5600 the tough solared and it has 20bar or 200m which very useful you dont have to change the battery and worry about breaking it cause its small, compactable and it also feels you are not wearing anything which also lightwight good for running

Haha 😆very interesting topic, I think the solar with 200m water resistant watches is a better choice, because the good mechanical watches need carry out the service after 3 to 5 years, the regular quartz watches need battery changed from 2 to 5 years, only the solar watches can last for 10 years with out maintenance. And that was not difficult to choose from solar G shock, Citizen promaster, or Seiko solar tuna.

The question is: why do I need a watch in apocalypse

Helm Vanuatu. Absolute beast. Doubles up as a weapon 🤣

I would strongly advise to avoid any automatic watch in a survival situation. I found out the hard way that their mecanism don’t sustain the shocks of shooting with a 12 gauge double barrel, which is like the most polyvalent round out here. Been practicing trap shooting for an afternoon as a total newbie, shot around 200 rounds that day. After that, my automatic watch was running like a tractor, loosing more than two hours a week. Newbie mistake, which I put out there so others don’t make it.

The waitlist for a 41mm subby gets much shorter in the apocalypse...but the GShock waitlist....infinite!

I say Gshock GD350. It has a vibration alarm! So to not alert the zombies.

Technically - all those quartz and digital watches will not last long in an apocalypse. Why? - You need battery to keep it running. Only mechanical and automatic watches that are water resistant and water proof will survive for year. Imagine having a digital watch die on you in the middle of nowhere.
