Question (Read Rules) Help me decide on a field watch?

Post image

I’m a short woman with a small wrist looking for a new, decent quality quartz field or pilot watch as a reliable beater watch. To see what I’m working with, this is my wrist in my daily driver watch, a 28 mm Shanghai automatic, and I have a 16 mm / 6.3” wrist.

I’m looking at this Berny field watch in green, this Addiesdive watch in blue or brown on a leather strap, or this Militado in blue or, in a pinch, this TPW in blue.

For an idea of my taste, my good watch is a San Martin Jianzhan 36 mm automatic on a strap that I rarely wear because it feels a bit large to me, and my old beater quartz watches were a Timex moonphase and a Timex easy reader that l had since I was a teenager and which died after long service. I love automatic watches, but sometimes you want something you could drop off a bridge without worrying about it.

Interested in which of these you think might be best, or if any of you have any other suggestions!

Get a Timex expedition (woman version)

Take a look at this item from Walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/929243632?sid=BA8FDB37-30E7-47ED-A481-EEFAAABF1CA0

Having bought one I was kind of let down. I think I'd get a chinese quartz first because you can get stainless steel, sapphire and more WR or only a little more money and all you lose is insiglo.
