So I am going backpacking next year (for a year) and looking to pick up a watch to wear for my travels. This will be the full backpacking experience in hostels and trekking etc.
I have bought/sold a number watches recently that just didn't fit the bill (Rolex Sub / Nomos Tangente Automatic / Junghans Max Bill Automatic).
Criteria is:
- Nothing too flashy (as I will be in some poor areas and don't want to attract too much attention)
- Good timekeeping
- Simple design with legible markers for time
- Can be date or no date
- Manual or automatic
- Around 38mm case (small wrists unfortunately!)
Possible options that I have been looking at are:
- Seiko SKX013
- Sinn 556i
- Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical
Any preference on the above or suggested watches not listed?
Thanks for any help....
