I am looking for a watch that is functional and versatile. I have a budget of less than $300 and would like to use it in these situations
-Hiking, camping, hunting
-construction
-semi nice events like weddings, nice dinner, and church
Thank you for any suggestions or help of any kind!
Field watches are pretty versatile aesthetically and in terms of use. They are basically casual watches, but look OK dressed up on a nice leather strap too.
In that budget: Seiko 5 field watch. Vaer S3 or S5 field watch. Between these two, Vaer might be more durable because of its more scratch resistant sapphire crystal. Seiko is a much bigger and well known brand.
For casual and outdoors and work days, wear it on a metal bracelet or nato strap. For weddings, nice dinner, church, put it on a dressy leather strap.
Check the Garmin instinct series, best hiking and camping watches that you can find at that price range. As for nice events probably wont do.
