I got a G-Shock GW-7900B, I like it because its water proof to 20Bar My SCUBA instructor explained watches waterproof ratings to me. Water resistance ratings: 10m-good for rain 30m-washing hands 50m-snorkling/swimming 100m-minimum for scuba, good to around probably 60+ feet 200m good for deep diving (non-decompression dives) This shows the flaws in the watch industry.
I like the Timex Ironman, NUTNFANCY, the black one looks good for casual wear and the orange one would be good for hiking and camping because of the color!!! Plus, for a $5000 watch I can get a lot of more important gear :-) Dont get me wrong I like the pricey ones too, as long as it fuctions, but for edc the durable timex, and gshocks are durable and comfortable
When I graduated flight school in 2005 I quickly went out and bought a cool pilot watch with built in E6B. Know what I wear now? Timex Ironman, it just fits my needs just as good and if it breaks what am I out, $25-30 bucks? Like you said Nutn, mo money for ammo. Keep up the great work buddy!
I Had one of these watches for YEARS, and thats hard use, i'm a member of the canadian armed forces and used this watch all the time in the field. 6 years on one battery finally it broke then bought a Suunto Core, and loving it! Great review
Worn the same Timex Ironkids for about ten years and been through four different straps. Time, date, stopwatch, alarm, timer, that's it. The best part is it's small to fit my skinny wrist.
Have worn this watch for years now. Almost every day since 2008. Had to buy one replacement due to my brother losing it in the woods once. Super inexpensive, accurate, tons of features and not too big or heavy. Love it. Only issue I've ever had with it is it will fog up after a couple dives below 100' (starting at sea level). This happened with both watches. Now I just dive without it. But for a mostly-dry watch that you don't care if it gets wet once in a while, this is it!
Ive got a luminox model 3150. Easily the most durable watch I've ever had. It's been through sand, mud, and water. For me that one time cost is worth the reliability. It is also nice enough looking to wear on a date or for holidays, for me it truly is the perfect watch
I wore an ironman for years. The only thing that stoped me wearing it was because the pin that attaches the strap to the body broke the body so that the strap couldn't be attached anymore.
Nutn, we need an updated watch review. How about the g-shock Rangeman, with an altimeter, barometer, compass, thermometer... could be really helpful for my trips out in the bush.
Currently, a Luminox Navy SEAL Colormark, Model 3067 (green). My sister bought it for me at my graduation. Unless I have to, I never take it off my wrist; it means so much to me and is EXTREMELY FUNCTIONAL. Before that, I always wore my Timex Expedition Camper, a cheapo that I wore for almost five years and is still ticking. I actually wore out the leather band ( I swam with it alot), and I just keep the time piece now. Both are wonderful watches that have served me well. Good review, as always.
A another comment stated, you can set T2 or T3 as the same time and change it to 12 hour and have that easy flip between the two. Keep up the good work Nutnfancy.
I saw my watch in the beginning, I've gotta give recommendation for it... The Casio G-Shock Touch Solar, mine is GW-M5600. It is solar charged, and atomic clocked from your local time zone. I have had it for three years and the battery still reads H for high, once it was M for medium and I left it sitting in the sun for a day, never been less than H since. I have changed the band for 11$ once and the bezel can be replaced, looks like a new watch again. mine was 80$. totally worth it!
You are right on, "who cares." The watch you wear doesn't put food on the table in a hurting situation, zombie apocalypse or economic crisis. All it does is tell time. When your really living times doesn't matter to busy to notice.
I have a Timex Pathfinder fishing edition. It calculates sunrise ,sunset, moon phases , and fish activity. I got it for my outdoor activities. It has multiple alarms with vibrate "silent mode". There is a hunting edition mode too.
Watched a G-Shock get run over by a car when I was a teenager. Picked it up, still running. I carried it for 8 years, and just as the battery was failing and it wouldn't keep time anymore, I lost it. Miss that thing.
I like watches, so I would never try to down someone for a particular one. The first one you talked about, the Casio. First thing that popped in my head was "old/Classic".
i have a gshock i got for xmas in 2011 and worn it everyday since. its solar powered and has a 10 year battery life. has automatic time zone changes moon and surf measurements. about $150 but totally worth it. its blacked out in color. great vids by the way nothing calms me down at the end of a long day like some nutn vids
My parents bought me an Ironman when I hit the sixth grade. I LOVED that watch. Easy to use, good-looking, comfy. I wore an Ironman until sometime in college, when I replaced it with an analog titanium Seiko. If I ever want to go digital again, the Ironman is waiting in the wings.
Been using my Ironman watch 3 years for my lawncare business. I like the timer function to track my time on different jobsite's throughout day. Like they say: it takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I will buy another when needed.
I personally have the Casio G-Shock atomic with the analog face and digital functions. I is a lot clunkier and heavier than you recommend for EDC but it is a great watch that also synchronizes with Daylight Savings time. I have thought about getting a slimmer watch for more winter wear that doesn't get hung up in my jacket/gloves.
I have owned this watch for about a year and a half. It lasted 1 6mo deployment and my day to day job here stateside. It is a great watch. Great vid Nutn!
My wife bought me a Luminox chronograph more than ten years ago. Huge stainless steel case and bracelet. It's got radioactive gas lamps! The double anti-reflective glass is so clear my brother thought the glass had fallen off. A friend commented once that the big stainless watch was part of who I was. Most folks aren't watch people. Kids today don't even wear'em.
I have been waiting for you to do this video for a long time. While I may disagree with some of what you say I really did enjoy it, keep up the excellent work.
This couldn't have been more appropriate.. . I JUST bought a watch for the first time in YEARS. Figured I'd give it another shot and see if I could pull of the watch look.
I like the Tag Heuer, Aquaracer! Its a very durable time piece in fact the Navy Seals have used it when training to test the durability and it passed with flying colors!!!
Had a Timex Ironman watch since training in the mid-80's. My first lasted for freaking ever - only needed to change batteries & the straps a couple times. Currently have the one shone @ 8:45. Awesome, tuff watches... thanks for the review.
I had a nice Victornox years ago. The band broke, but I kept the main piece on my desk. My roommate that was a stickler for cleanliness threw it away thinking it was junk. It was about $125 down the drain.
Mine is Casio AQW-101, very good watch, has both analog hand and digital readout. Built-in thermometer and some kind of fishing timer, moon data.(never use that) also most of normal digital watch function etc. It's lack of Occasion mode compare to Ironman but I still like it. It's a birthday gift from my mom :D
That mode you entered was so you can push other non-dedicated buttons to light it up and it will stay on for a few seconds each time without holding the button. I've had three of those Ironman starting back in the mid 90s. All three were only retired due to band failure. I am no diver, but when I was wearing these, I almost never took them off. They were submerged often and even after changing the battery, they do reseal at least for my light underwater use. Thanks for the real world reviews.
For the longest time I couldn't stand wearing watches they were either too uncomfortable or they fell apart. Till one Christmas my grandmother gave me another watch I thought to myself another watch that will end up in the garbage, but I gave it a try and I was surprise how perfect it was. Doesn't matter if I was hunting, hiking, forging, or anything else I through at it. Guess what watch it was that's right a Timex Ironman, its been going for two years now and will not quit.
I've worn this model for years. It's awesome! I don't need an altimeter or a barometer, like the high priced competitors. This watch provides basic, useful functions. It just works, no dickin' around.
+nutnfancy you should try out the Timex Expedition Scout for a field watch if you don't mind using an analog watch. They are only about 35 bucks and you can use it as a dress watch.
I own two, a Casio G-Shock, the newer 2012 model, pretty cool watch. I just recently bought a Invicta Pro diver, which I got on black friday for like 90% off. Usually like 600 bucks, I got that watch for 100 bucks. Beautiful watch.
Casio and Timex make watches for each other. Lower end tend to be made by Timex, higher end Casio. Talk to your local Watch repair shop, they'll be able to tell you which model is made by whom. So if you ever wondered why both brands have so many similar watches, now you know.
That moon function you set was the indaglo function, when you shake the watch or you wrist with enough force it will cause the watch to light up, sort of like the gshock one where it lights up when you turn your wrist. but this one can be disabled or enabled, wish my gshock had that.
someone walks up to nutn and is like dude your watch makes you look like a dork then nutn does a blade check and the guy says touche lol love your stuff nutn keep truckin dude
I'm still wearing the old school G shock, and have been since I bought it in 1989 ;-) Been all over the world with me when I was still in the Army, survived countless years working on Tanks, and all the jobs that I have done since. Been back to the factory for an overhaul about 10 years ago. No I'm going to retire it. Thanks for the heads up on the Ironman :-)
Bought my watch, a Rolex Explorer, at the Navy Exchange in Hong Kong back in 1975, for $160. Still wearing it. I've navigated across every ocean in the world with it.
Got a Yellow LumiNox from my kids, for Christmas, last year. Haven't taken it off since. Love it. Only issue is the 2 band straps broke and you cannot buy replacements...thank goodness Gorilla Tape is black.
The light function is great, if you hold down the indiglo button for a few seconds it will turn on the light if any button is pressed than After 4 or 6 hours the watch goes back to day mode.
Ive been wearing a smith and wesson field watch for a few years, I really like it its slim small diameter and low profile, its not one of those giant dinnerplates that most watches are these days, its got a 37mm case, so its not huge I do like the plain jane look. it comes with a black tan and green band, and for $30 it has served its purpose. although they are canvas and will get wet its not too bad
I use an ironman when I'm exercising, but for everyday use, I wear a mechanical that has a camcorder/microphone installed. It's very nifty, for if you want to take a picture or a video quickly and don't want to fumble around with a phone. And it has other features too, like a rechargeable battery, compass, and computer webcam. And I have the same view on style. Practicality and functionality will always be cooler than style and good looks.
i have an ironman shock, since in my country a cool watch is a burglar atractor, and i love it, they are more than reliable and easily replacable. but in hot weathers it can make the wrist a very sweaty place. love your reviews, if you want to dive with a timex there is the shock version that has the same resistance as the G-shock.
Been rocking a Triathlon for over 25 years. (not the same one lol) Used it mainly for count down starts racing keel sailboat and catamaran races. On the plane to the Hobie Nationals on Maui in 85, 90% of the passengers (competitors) were sportin G Shocks, Triathlons or Ironmans. :)
I used to have the Ironman. I always loved it until one day when the strap started cracking on me. Eventually it broke and now I am SOL because the bands could not be replaced. It was a molded in band. I kept the watch and still have it around someplace but my replacement watch is the Timex Expedition. It has a replaceable watch band but for me the cool thing is that it has a vibration feature for the alarm. That is what I use for my alarm clock.
I use the Timex Ironman Triathlon 200M water resistant. Bought a new one during basic training 10 years ago and it has lasted through a tour in Iraq, water resistance also helps with dust resistance. The previous Iron man I had since i was 18 so that is still with me I just havent replaced the battery. great watch does what I need and as a scout in the military it had all the functions I needed. Only thing I wish I had was a set of analog hands for emergency navigation.
FINALLY a watch review!!! Thanks Nutn!! I got a G-shock for father's day this year..... I asked it SPECIFICALLY for when I'm getting out there and adventuring. My watches end up getting thumped on quite a bit when I'm out. Thanks bro and keep up the great work!
So after losing a $125 g shock and wearing out 3 databank casio watches... guess its time to upgrade to a better value. Thanks for the review Nutn. Never had a timex, but time to try something new. Thanks man!
Loved the out of the blue unexpected review! Hell, I think if you went out to your garage and reviewed whatever you picked up it would still be well recieved with the TNP Nation, nice change of pace dude!
Sent wife to buy me a watch. She came home with an analog expedition it does exactly nothing no features whatsoever and I'm ashamed to admit I love it.
I actually used to break Timex Ironman watches all the time. I break them weight lifting. I traded it in and got a Bertucci, G1 digital. It uses a Nato Strap, which doesn't break, and it is made out of Titanium.
My go-to watch is a Swiss Army Cavalry watch. My father gave me one when I was younger, and it's never failed me. Damn near invincible! I like the analog watches usually, but I can see the benefits of digital. Good video, yet again!
PROBLEM SOLVED! It looks as though you just saved me a bunch of time. I have not had a watch in years because of my phone. Recently there have been times where I would like to leave my phone at home due to risk of damage. Thanks for saving me time!
Nutnfancy you should totally do a diving video dude! I know back in 2008 you did some dive knife reviews but a video of you scuba diving would be awesome!
Thanks nutnfancy I've been hoping you'd dive into watches. I know watches aren't a passion for you but would love to see some in-depth fancy reviews of more G shocks and some Suuntos.thank you my friend
My favourite clock that I wear everyday except at Galas or Dinner (I'll go with a Rolex Yacth-Master) is a G-Shock Riseman, radio controlled, solar battery, alti-baro-temperature and when you need it an auto-lit function just turning your wrist to the face... (you can deactivate it for tactical reasons). But when I came to California on my first 2-weeks trip I forgot to bring a clock at all, I was so exctied. So I went to Target and bought an Ironman and it didn't diappoint me once.
I have a Walmart watch called an ACQUA Indiglo.. A single battery lasted 11 years and it kept the right time for the entire duration. Lasted through my working at a grocery store in water, being hit and banged on things nothing better for the money. Still works to this day, purchased in 2002.
I cant even tell you how much I spent on watches... I have had enough to wear a different watch each day of the month. but you know what I seem to always go back to my casio G-Shock. A few months ago i picked up the new solar Atomic pathfinder with Anaolog hands.. I felt ripped off when I opened it because I didnt get to play around with it. As soon as I took it out of the box it was set. Never needs a battery change and the time is always 100% accurate because its beamed down from space!
I have a gripe with the Ironman and the Expedition now (or maybe it was a women's Ironman) because a little after I replaced the battery, the Expedition stopped working. And when I replaced the smaller one's battery, I took the timey-part out of the case and couldn't get it to fit back in right. So that's why I bought a Casio this time around...and why I got a solar one. (Also, I think that it's insanely cool that a quarter of a square inch of solar panel can power a watch....)
![АЛАУДИНОВ у Скабеевой: эти их ВСУ нас НЕ ДОГОНЯТ 😁 [Пародия]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/an0anqU4WGQ/mqdefault.jpg)
I've had an Ironman for years since 2003 and have loved nothing other since...
I got a G-Shock GW-7900B, I like it because its water proof to 20Bar
My SCUBA instructor explained watches waterproof ratings to me.
Water resistance ratings:
10m-good for rain
30m-washing hands
50m-snorkling/swimming
100m-minimum for scuba, good to around probably 60+ feet
200m good for deep diving (non-decompression dives)
This shows the flaws in the watch industry.
guns, knives, scooters, watches, it doesn't mater what it is but Nutnfancy makes it professional, thorough and fun.
I agree 100% love my Iron man watches.
I like the Timex Ironman, NUTNFANCY, the black one looks good for casual wear and the orange one would be good for hiking and camping because of the color!!! Plus, for a $5000 watch I can get a lot of more important gear :-) Dont get me wrong I like the pricey ones too, as long as it fuctions, but for edc the durable timex, and gshocks are durable and comfortable
all I can think of is plane trains and automobiles...when john candy tries to trade the motel clerk his CASIO for a room...LMAO !!
When I graduated flight school in 2005 I quickly went out and bought a cool pilot watch with built in E6B. Know what I wear now? Timex Ironman, it just fits my needs just as good and if it breaks what am I out, $25-30 bucks? Like you said Nutn, mo money for ammo. Keep up the great work buddy!
I Had one of these watches for YEARS, and thats hard use, i'm a member of the canadian armed forces and used this watch all the time in the field. 6 years on one battery finally it broke then bought a Suunto Core, and loving it! Great review
I have a Timex Expedition with digital compass. Very useful tool. Looks like I should add an Ironman as well...Thanks Nutn.
"Takes a Lickin and Keeps on Tickin"! Back in the day all the professional pilots working for my dad wore Timex watches.
Worn the same Timex Ironkids for about ten years and been through four different straps. Time, date, stopwatch, alarm, timer, that's it. The best part is it's small to fit my skinny wrist.
Have worn this watch for years now. Almost every day since 2008. Had to buy one replacement due to my brother losing it in the woods once. Super inexpensive, accurate, tons of features and not too big or heavy. Love it.

Ive got a luminox model 3150. Easily the most durable watch I've ever had. It's been through sand, mud, and water. For me that one time cost is worth the reliability. It is also nice enough looking to wear on a date or for holidays, for me it truly is the perfect watch
I wore an ironman for years. The only thing that stoped me wearing it was because the pin that attaches the strap to the body broke the body so that the strap couldn't be attached anymore.
Been wearing the same Timex ironman for the last 6 years and still haven't replaced the battery. It is an awesome watch.
I've had my all black Timex Ironman for 5 years now and even with heavy abuse it has held up well.
Nutn, we need an updated watch review. How about the g-shock Rangeman, with an altimeter, barometer, compass, thermometer... could be really helpful for my trips out in the bush.
Currently, a Luminox Navy SEAL Colormark, Model 3067 (green). My sister bought it for me at my graduation. Unless I have to, I never take it off my wrist; it means so much to me and is EXTREMELY FUNCTIONAL.

Literally was thinking not two days ago that Nutnfancy needed to do a watch review. BAM! Well played sir!
You are right on, "who cares." The watch you wear doesn't put food on the table in a hurting situation, zombie apocalypse or economic crisis. All it does is tell time. When your really living times doesn't matter to busy to notice.
casio, fanny pack, white sneakers with jeans. nutnfancy, coolest dork ever.
I have a Timex Pathfinder fishing edition. It calculates sunrise ,sunset, moon phases , and fish activity. I got it for my outdoor activities. It has multiple alarms with vibrate "silent mode". There is a hunting edition mode too.
I've been wearing these since the 1990's and have never seen an olive green color ironman watch. Dam you Nutn, I have to get one! Thanks.
Watched a G-Shock get run over by a car when I was a teenager. Picked it up, still running. I carried it for 8 years, and just as the battery was failing and it wouldn't keep time anymore, I lost it. Miss that thing.
That g-shock took my back to 1993 at Camp Pendleton. Good memories.
What don't you do? Weapons, gear, cars, pilot, diver? What else are you gonna surprise us with?
Love the reviews, and adventures.
I like watches, so I would never try to down someone for a particular one. The first one you talked about, the Casio. First thing that popped in my head was "old/Classic".
I had one of the original Ironman watches from the late 80's and it served me well for many years.
That wavecepter casio g shock is also solar powered nutn.
You'll never run out of batteries!
I have the same one but with red accents.
Awesome watch.
i have a gshock i got for xmas in 2011 and worn it everyday since. its solar powered and has a 10 year battery life. has automatic time zone changes moon and surf measurements. about $150 but totally worth it. its blacked out in color. great vids by the way nothing calms me down at the end of a long day like some nutn vids
My parents bought me an Ironman when I hit the sixth grade. I LOVED that watch. Easy to use, good-looking, comfy. I wore an Ironman until sometime in college, when I replaced it with an analog titanium Seiko. If I ever want to go digital again, the Ironman is waiting in the wings.

I have thought about getting a slimmer watch for more winter wear that doesn't get hung up in my jacket/gloves.
Nutn just want to say I just want to say I enjoy watching all your vids no matter the subject. Nobody does a vid like you.
I have owned this watch for about a year and a half. It lasted 1 6mo deployment and my day to day job here stateside. It is a great watch. Great vid Nutn!
I'm carrying a Casio W-59 for years and i love it, it's only €15 and is so tiny i don't even notice it and it just keeps on running!
My wife bought me a Luminox chronograph more than ten years ago. Huge stainless steel case and bracelet. It's got radioactive gas lamps! The double anti-reflective glass is so clear my brother thought the glass had fallen off. A friend commented once that the big stainless watch was part of who I was.
Most folks aren't watch people. Kids today don't even wear'em.

This couldn't have been more appropriate.. . I JUST bought a watch for the first time in YEARS. Figured I'd give it another shot and see if I could pull of the watch look.
Lol this almost felt like a high school economics flash back. I like it though nutn, i like it
I use a G-Shock and its great. It's been diving, hiking, shooting, and many more. It has been going strong for 2 years now
I like the Tag Heuer, Aquaracer! Its a very durable time piece in fact the Navy Seals have used it when training to test the durability and it passed with flying colors!!!
ha im with you nutn - the regular old timex ironman has been my watch of choice for years
Had a Timex Ironman watch since training in the mid-80's. My first lasted for freaking ever - only needed to change batteries & the straps a couple times. Currently have the one shone @ 8:45. Awesome, tuff watches... thanks for the review.
I had a nice Victornox years ago. The band broke, but I kept the main piece on my desk. My roommate that was a stickler for cleanliness threw it away thinking it was junk. It was about $125 down the drain.
I stopped wearing watches for years because I kept breaking them. I bought an Ironman for about $20 in 2007, and it still works!
I love the ironman. All the writing is worn off mine. The lens is faded, but it still works after 6 years of hard use.
I'm a medic and the I wear a timex expedition watch with a rescue orange and blue paracord band, works great for me and looks great too
Nutn, love the variety if vids since your "hiatus". I love these watches also. Keep up the great work. Man it's great to have you back. Noone like ya.
I 100% recommend the Casio Mudman. A beast of a Watch which will never break.
Mine is Casio AQW-101, very good watch, has both analog hand and digital readout.
Built-in thermometer and some kind of fishing timer, moon data.(never use that)
also most of normal digital watch function etc.
It's lack of Occasion mode compare to Ironman but I still like it.
It's a birthday gift from my mom :D
That mode you entered was so you can push other non-dedicated buttons to light it up and it will stay on for a few seconds each time without holding the button. I've had three of those Ironman starting back in the mid 90s. All three were only retired due to band failure. I am no diver, but when I was wearing these, I almost never took them off.

I've worn this model for years. It's awesome! I don't need an altimeter or a barometer, like the high priced competitors. This watch provides basic, useful functions. It just works, no dickin' around.
Love my G-shock, heads and shoulders above the Timex Ironman in just the scratch resistance of the lens alone.
I also totally agree, BUT, it would sound very very funny if the person is carrying a Sebenza or a Strider in his pocket at the same time...
Jokes aside, Lego makes the finest everyday watches.
Been wearing the timex ironman watch for a good decade now. Made the way things should be made!
+nutnfancy you should try out the Timex Expedition Scout for a field watch if you don't mind using an analog watch. They are only about 35 bucks and you can use it as a dress watch.
I totally agree, there's no better watch for a runner, or really any active individual who wants a professional looking yet performance driven watch!
Thanks Mr. NutnFancy. still rockin' my basic Seiko Black Monster SKX779K watch.
I own two, a Casio G-Shock, the newer 2012 model, pretty cool watch. I just recently bought a Invicta Pro diver, which I got on black friday for like 90% off. Usually like 600 bucks, I got that watch for 100 bucks. Beautiful watch.
My one Casio Databank is something like 20 years old, and it still works. Remarkable for a quartz watch.
Casio and Timex make watches for each other. Lower end tend to be made by Timex, higher end Casio. Talk to your local Watch repair shop, they'll be able to tell you which model is made by whom. So if you ever wondered why both brands have so many similar watches, now you know.
This was a really different type of gear for review and I thought it was pretty cool! I hope to see more!
The MTM adds are the best! Always a spec ops soldier wearing one.
That moon function you set was the indaglo function, when you shake the watch or you wrist with enough force it will cause the watch to light up, sort of like the gshock one where it lights up when you turn your wrist. but this one can be disabled or enabled, wish my gshock had that.
someone walks up to nutn and is like dude your watch makes you look like a dork then nutn does a blade check and the guy says touche lol love your stuff nutn keep truckin dude
I have had the luminox 3150 blackout for about a year fantastic watch! I was sold by sweet adds in tactical mags:)
nice review! i like seeing different things from The Project. I do wear a Casio daily and the one touch 12/24 clock button is a VERY nice feature.
I'm still wearing the old school G shock, and have been since I bought it in 1989 ;-) Been all over the world with me when I was still in the Army, survived countless years working on Tanks, and all the jobs that I have done since. Been back to the factory for an overhaul about 10 years ago. No I'm going to retire it. Thanks for the heads up on the Ironman :-)
Casio Protrek is a good choice, lots of usefull functions and really tough. Bit more expensive but really worth it.
and the rest of us would sit here and watch it!!
Bought my watch, a Rolex Explorer, at the Navy Exchange in Hong Kong back in 1975, for $160. Still wearing it. I've navigated across every ocean in the world with it.
Got a Yellow LumiNox from my kids, for Christmas, last year. Haven't taken it off since. Love it. Only issue is the 2 band straps broke and you cannot buy replacements...thank goodness Gorilla Tape is black.
The light function is great, if you hold down the indiglo button for a few seconds it will turn on the light if any button is pressed than After 4 or 6 hours the watch goes back to day mode.
Ive been wearing a smith and wesson field watch for a few years, I really like it its slim small diameter and low profile, its not one of those giant dinnerplates that most watches are these days, its got a 37mm case, so its not huge I do like the plain jane look. it comes with a black tan and green band, and for $30 it has served its purpose. although they are canvas and will get wet its not too bad
I use an ironman when I'm exercising, but for everyday use, I wear a mechanical that has a camcorder/microphone installed. It's very nifty, for if you want to take a picture or a video quickly and don't want to fumble around with a phone. And it has other features too, like a rechargeable battery, compass, and computer webcam. And I have the same view on style. Practicality and functionality will always be cooler than style and good looks.
i have an ironman shock, since in my country a cool watch is a burglar atractor, and i love it, they are more than reliable and easily replacable. but in hot weathers it can make the wrist a very sweaty place. love your reviews, if you want to dive with a timex there is the shock version that has the same resistance as the G-shock.
Been rocking a Triathlon for over 25 years. (not the same one lol) Used it mainly for count down starts racing keel sailboat and catamaran races. On the plane to the Hobie Nationals on Maui in 85, 90% of the passengers (competitors) were sportin G Shocks, Triathlons or Ironmans. :)
If it's practical and it works, it doesn't break, and it's not overpriced, then it's cool... Classic Nutnfancy
I used to have the Ironman. I always loved it until one day when the strap started cracking on me. Eventually it broke and now I am SOL because the bands could not be replaced. It was a molded in band. I kept the watch and still have it around someplace but my replacement watch is the Timex Expedition. It has a replaceable watch band but for me the cool thing is that it has a vibration feature for the alarm. That is what I use for my alarm clock.
I use the Timex Ironman Triathlon 200M water resistant. Bought a new one during basic training 10 years ago and it has lasted through a tour in Iraq, water resistance also helps with dust resistance. The previous Iron man I had since i was 18 so that is still with me I just havent replaced the battery. great watch does what I need and as a scout in the military it had all the functions I needed. Only thing I wish I had was a set of analog hands for emergency navigation.
FINALLY a watch review!!! Thanks Nutn!! I got a G-shock for father's day this year..... I asked it SPECIFICALLY for when I'm getting out there and adventuring. My watches end up getting thumped on quite a bit when I'm out.
Thanks bro and keep up the great work!
So after losing a $125 g shock and wearing out 3 databank casio watches... guess its time to upgrade to a better value. Thanks for the review Nutn. Never had a timex, but time to try something new. Thanks man!
Loved the out of the blue unexpected review! Hell, I think if you went out to your garage and reviewed whatever you picked up it would still be well recieved with the TNP Nation, nice change of pace dude!
Sent wife to buy me a watch. She came home with an analog expedition it does exactly nothing no features whatsoever and I'm ashamed to admit I love it.
I actually used to break Timex Ironman watches all the time. I break them weight lifting. I traded it in and got a Bertucci, G1 digital. It uses a Nato Strap, which doesn't break, and it is made out of Titanium.
I am a watch guy and also a TNP'r for a long time. I've been waiting for a watch review for some time so thanks Nutn, this is great stuff!!!
My go-to watch is a Swiss Army Cavalry watch. My father gave me one when I was younger, and it's never failed me. Damn near invincible! I like the analog watches usually, but I can see the benefits of digital. Good video, yet again!
PROBLEM SOLVED! It looks as though you just saved me a bunch of time. I have not had a watch in years because of my phone. Recently there have been times where I would like to leave my phone at home due to risk of damage. Thanks for saving me time!
Nutnfancy you should totally do a diving video dude! I know back in 2008 you did some dive knife reviews but a video of you scuba diving would be awesome!
Thanks nutnfancy I've been hoping you'd dive into watches. I know watches aren't a passion for you but would love to see some in-depth fancy reviews of more G shocks and some Suuntos.thank you my friend
My favourite clock that I wear everyday except at Galas or Dinner (I'll go with a Rolex Yacth-Master) is a G-Shock Riseman, radio controlled, solar battery, alti-baro-temperature and when you need it an auto-lit function just turning your wrist to the face... (you can deactivate it for tactical reasons). But when I came to California on my first 2-weeks trip I forgot to bring a clock at all, I was so exctied. So I went to Target and bought an Ironman and it didn't diappoint me once.
I have a Walmart watch called an ACQUA Indiglo.. A single battery lasted 11 years and it kept the right time for the entire duration. Lasted through my working at a grocery store in water, being hit and banged on things nothing better for the money. Still works to this day, purchased in 2002.
I may be wrong, but I think when the moon on the face is on, the light will come on with ANY button you push.
I cant even tell you how much I spent on watches... I have had enough to wear a different watch each day of the month. but you know what I seem to always go back to my casio G-Shock. A few months ago i picked up the new solar Atomic pathfinder with Anaolog hands.. I felt ripped off when I opened it because I didnt get to play around with it. As soon as I took it out of the box it was set. Never needs a battery change and the time is always 100% accurate because its beamed down from space!
I have a gripe with the Ironman and the Expedition now (or maybe it was a women's Ironman) because a little after I replaced the battery, the Expedition stopped working. And when I replaced the smaller one's battery, I took the timey-part out of the case and couldn't get it to fit back in right. So that's why I bought a Casio this time around...and why I got a solar one. (Also, I think that it's insanely cool that a quarter of a square inch of solar panel can power a watch....)
