    Apocalypse watch,

    Non reflective - bead blasted, long battery life, accurate for counting down to Waitrose deliveries, rotating bezel for timing length of supermarket queues, robust for the inevitable toilet roll fights, waterproof for foraging rivers and streams,

    Has to be a G-Shock for the apocalypse.

    I happen to be wearing this one today, but on a NATO, and I think it would do for a bit at a push.

    The reflectiveness might alert nearby zombies so I’m not sure you could get away with that!

    Zombies?
    It's the panic buyers that worry me the most.

    Can’t beat a good pair of tactical mittens
    They go so well with the type of special ops sandals often seen on SC

    I think I may double wrist and carry a backup watch. My full titanium G is currently dominating wrist time and may stay on for the apocalypse - it has the right stealth factor. I’d probably wear the rangeman, though mine is the white Burton one, NOT stealth! Lastly the Seiko Landmaster, reliable go to for sure.

    The only one of mine that I'm attached to and I think it was built to survive.

    A watch for every Apocalypse occasion...

    Day wear, left - but for any apocalypse black tie event I'd take the right.

    G-Shock Sea-Dweller combo.

    G-Shock to tell the time and Sea-Dweller to barter with once the currency, and society, collapses.

    NOMOS Glashütte Sonnenuhr

    Align the hole on the middle ring with the mark for the current month, hold it up to the sun, and wherever the light hits inside the ring is the time of day.



    Or it can be worn as a ring.

    When I leave the house this one as it’s all plastic and easy cleaned,my new G-Shock I put on a fabric strap so would stay wet.

    If it came down to it It would probably be my solar seiko diver I would keep.

    I think this one would survive anything

    Best Regards - Peter

    I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.

    You make some fair points apart from this one:

    I take it you haven't read the Rats trilogy by James Herbert, if you had you would think twice before sticking your hand into a post apocalyptic rat hole.

    This is the only one in my collection that would fit the bill. Although I am not sure how it would fare after six months of sunless nuclear winter, but I doubt I would last that long so I expect it to outlast me.

    Au contraire, I read little else aside from JH and Steven King when I was a teenaged boy in the dim-'n'-distant days of yesteryonk when the faint echoes of the freshly-extinct dinosaurs still rumbled around the globe... Good times. Under no circumstances would I stick my hand in a rat hole to be honest - disease-ridden little horrors - set the dogs on the little buggers at every opportunity!

    Meanwhile, solar has its place - top it up around the campfire, while the double-headed Rat King roasts on a spit...

    Another G Shock

    Though this one has been blinged up a bit with a MFG conversion.
