I think Timex MK1 is the best affordable everyday watch. It have iconic design of Field watch but with $100 price tag.
It also have indiglo features that superluminova cannot defeat and come with acrylic crystal where i can buff it back by using polywatch. You also can have fun with it by change to the colourful nato strap.
Yup. Very light. It feels like you not wearing watch. Especially use nato strap. I think the ticking is fine. Unless you are in very quiet environment.
