However, if you’re wearing it as a piece of jewellery, lifestyle statement, or a status symbol, then you may want to choose something else? Watches, clothing, personal grooming are all personal choices.
garmin fenix 5. GPS time adjustment, altitude alert, silent vibrating alert for shared crew rest facilities plus loads of extra exercise and health tracking (sleep in particluar) for when downroute. Built in maps and can create a trail or running route from the hotel in seconds. Battery lasts at least a week. SMS message and notifications from my phone meaning I can see when overtime has come in without looking at the phone. 299 dollars in Best Buy, fantastic value and much more practical than breitling and bremont (have 2 of each)
