(Part 3) Best sports & outdoors accessories according to redditors

Do you have a model number?

Edit1: here is a nice square digital one

You'll find that it's quite common.

And those six are mostly off the top of my head. So many brands have their own version.

Is this going to be a dressy watch for formal/special occasions? Or are you looking for a daily wear watch?

If the former latter, then perhaps a hard-wearing quartz is a good idea. If you want something special, but that you'll have to take care of, then your budget could easily allow you a dressier mechanical watch (auto or hand wound).


In fact, fuck it, here's a list of shit I dug up. I love internet-window-shopping:

Young-looking Seiko automatic diver

Hamilton Khaki

Another (larger) Hamilton Khaki

Khaki Pilot (very diver/aviator-esque look)

A Tissot auto chrono

A fairly dressy Hamilton

A nice and clean sporty Tissot

A rather large but eye-catching Hamilton


Yes, I know I went kinda overboard on the Hamiltons, but I was working off the impression your watch example and fondness for divers gave me.

EDIT: got my former/latter mixed up. I blame Mr. Walker's magnificent amber restorative.

The model is T29781

I don't know much about this watch, but it fits your criteria. Seiko SKZ323

Answer to Q3: Dress for the last few miles! You will warm up quite a bit, especially if you have any hills. Nice thing about biking is that if you're a little bit cold, pedal harder. If you're too warm, shed a layer.

Create a spreadsheet (or note) that details the weather conditions, what you wore, and how you felt. Get a feel for what you should wear in certain conditions. Then you don't have to think about what to wear in the morning. I.e. it was 36 F this morning, and previous rides showed me that I would be comfortable in thermals, balaclava, and lobster gloves.

Here are some good ones:

• Orient Mako
  
  
• Orient Ray
  
  
• Seiko SKX007
  
  
• Seiko SKX175
  
  
• Seiko Monster
  
  
• Seiko SKZ327

The Casio RFT-100 was developed for the 2006 World Cup, and is a solid referee watch. Pre-programmed halves, tilt-night glow, vibration-only operation (selectable), made for soccer. The only downside is that over time, the spring bar that holds the band to the watch can pull through the plastic. I've broken one with a ball to the wrist, and the band pulled the spring bar loose. Because it's plastic, it scores the watch, and the spring bar will pull easily from then on, and can't be repaired.

I've been using a 1st-generation Spintso referee timer and it's quite good as well. While there are no pre-programmed times, it's built for one-touch operation. Once the times for the halves are programmed, all other operations are one-touch. For example, once you set the halves for 45-minutes, and, for example, select 10 minutes for the halftime break, you just use one button to start/stop for anything after that.

The workflow for the Spintso is like this:

• Set duration of halves
  
• Set duration of halftime break
  
• Long-press start/stop button to start match. Begins counting down from 45mins to zero on one timer, and match counter begins counting up from zero.
  
• Long-press for any stoppage (injury, time-wasting, etc.) Watch automatically begins counting stoppage time. The stoppage time indicator begins climbing up from zero. Watch vibrates every five seconds when stoppage time is enabled to remind you that match time is stopped.
  
• Long-press start/stop button again to end stoppage time and resume match. Stoppage timer stops, and match timers resume (1st period timer decrements toward zero, match timer increments from zero upward)
  
• When the half expires, the watch vibrates. The stoppage counter shows you how much time to add. The match time automatically adds the stoppage time, and vibrates to let you know that the half, plus stoppage has expired, and begins the halftime period timer.
  
• When the half-time timer expires, the watch vibrates to remind you to start the second half. It waits for you to start the second half - you don't have to start right when the halftime timer expires. Just long-press the start/stop button to begin the second half.
  
• Just as in the 1st half, long-press the start/stop button anytime you need to add stoppage time (injury, time wasting, etc), and the stoppage time increments, the match half timer stops, and the full match timer keeps incrementing. The watch will vibrate every few seconds to remind you that you are in stoppage time mode. Long-press the start/stop button to resume match.
  
• When the halftime timer decrements to zero, the stoppage timer begins displays how much time to add. The match timer increments to the half duration plus stoppage, and vibrates when that time expires. End the match.
  
  The cool part is that it's all one-button operation once you've set the halves and halftime duration. Takes some getting used to, but it's very easy once you've done it a few times. It has three modes - the regular watch mode, which displays the day of week, year, month/day, time (with Daylight Savings mode with one press to switch modes) (hours/minutes/seconds). The second mode is game mode, which displays Time Zone (you can select any time zone in the world), hh:mm:sec, month/day at the top, am/pm, which period you're in (1st or 2nd), minutes remaining in half, then the bottom displays total match time (incrementing from zero), stoppage time.
  
  When you enter halftime period, the halftime timer appears, and decrements from whatever duration you've set.
  
  The last mode is stopwatch mode. It just starts/stops a timer from zero.
  
  Hope that helps!

I just ordered these. I haven't had a chance to try out the colors, but the polarized ones are great and the lens changing system is easy.

Seiko Monster

Completely personal but beyond a good baselayer nothing else I own is running specific for the winter. Up top I'll usually use a compression shirt and then layer a few shirts on top of that culminating in a hoodie (the front pocket is clutch for carrying extra tissues or storing your hat/gloves). Layers are your friend. Bottom wise I'll do compression shorts and/or tights depending on how cold it is and another pair of shorts over top just for another layer. Other than that I wear my normal socks, a buff if needed, a knit hat, and some light gloves. This setup has carried me through the coldest and windiest parts of the winter last year. I made a quick down and dirty jumping off point for you to look at some decent, affordable gear: Tesla tights, Tesla top, Reflective knit hat, Buff, Headlamp, Lightweight gloves. You may want to look at maybe some windproof layers, wool socks, or heavier gloves depending on what the weather actually looks like near you. I wasn't a fan of the yak trax style grips and ended up just using my trail running shoes a lot in the winter, just be careful.

Timex T29781

Your welcome, nice watch

edit: Sorry Wrong link its theTimex Men's T2P027KW "Ameritus" Watch

Tons of GShocks (as has been stated).

My personal favorites:

Digital only readout - Mudman - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FPVUJA/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Analog readout (internals are digital) - GA-800 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075JLQCD8/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A37VKTSZ7S1PMR&psc=1

Try here.

You can generally change the band on a watch btw.

your choices, basically:
-any old cheap timex with any kind of timer function will suffice, and last for a good long while.
-a nice watch made for reffing, often with vibrate features. Spintso watch or this one is what i use, personally. Spintso is expensive, but I've heard you can often find last year's model for a decent price if you know where to look.
-a smartwatch. Something that can pair to your smartphone, or a fitness-centric model like something from garmin or polar. these typically offer less soccer-specific settings, but allow you to track steps, heartrate, and all sorts of things like that.

How about the merino wool buff? I did a review on it here.

There are 3 "stargates"

• SKZ327 which was the original 7S26 powered one http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SKZ327-Divers-Rubber-Automatic/dp/B004PO1QIC
  
  
• SKA511 which is a Seiko Kinetic and belongs to the Superior range http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SKA511-Stainless-Steel-Analog/dp/B005D7FL0O
  
  And the current 4R36 based one

I don't own that model in particular but I am familiar with vintage japanese watches and I think the polygonal bezel gives it a subtle yet distinctive touch.

I am somehow reminded of this other Citizen. It does feature a scratch resistant sapphire crystal but I am not sure the style and band match your taste.

I'd say the shape of the bezel has hardly affected how a watch feels or works for me, even when they are square.

For a young man with your requirements I would go for a more peculiar style, like this (I am not sure how you are supposed to read the chrono, but it sure looks fashionable). Somebody recently posted here the all silver version of this model and it was really good looking and versatile for dressing up or down (I did not find that version on amazon, sorry).

A variation that adds some interest to the face can be a different style of calendar and I think the leather strap looks better with a suit and may be more comfortable. Keep in mind you can choose from several color schemes.

If I was young and my sight was what it once was, I would probably go for one of the all black styles like this or maybe this for an everyday watch, but the canvas strap and more busy dial won't work with a suit.

Eco Drives are great watches at very good prices, hard to go wrong with one of them.

Link, for those asking!

If you're looking to invest in gear for riding outdoors you need the following:

• Wool Socks (merino/spandex mix is best) - TheAthletic makes great ones, but LLBean has cheaper ones that work fine
  
• Shoe Covers - Spatz Outerwear appears to make some quality one, but I've used Pearl Izumi ones in the past with decent results
  
• Gloves - Lobster gloves are probably best
  
• Merino Base Layer (Long Sleeve) - Rapha makes a great one
  
• Good Wind/Water-proof jacket - Look at Showers Pass and GoreTex stuff

Here is the watch.

Seiko Stargate

Then take the black version of Seikos "Sea Urchin" . Best Submariner-on-a-budget that has enough of its own character to not just look like a rip-off.

On Amazon for $150.

I have this one and I love it! It meets all your requirements except being square and is analog / digital, which I really love. Amazon has it for over $100, but I found it for $90 on a random site after lots of searching a few months back.

You can call it theft, copy, or replica. I'll call it an homage.

If you're referring to how similar the hour hand looks to a Rolex Submariner, I can tell you that many watch makers make diver's watches with similar hour hands:

• DeBaufre Ocean - http://store.debaufre.com/Ocean-1-42mm-Black-p/o-dw.01.07b.htm
  
• Orient Snorkler - http://orientwatchusa.com/2er00001b

Casio RFT-100
I got this watch for my birthday last season and I would highly recommend it.
It's the smallest and lightest watch I've ever worn yet the numbers are large and easily readable with a quick glance.
It's got many different options, all of which are simple to use. The preset halves are especially useful.
It's a bit more expensive than most digital watches but trust me, you won't regret buying it. Although I'm not sure if they make them anymore so get in quick!

The ga-800 is a basic analog w/ second hand for 70 dollars: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075JLQCD8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_dD4cBb66HEF01

There's the gas-100, solar analog G for 90 dollars at Costco: https://m.costco.com/Casio-G-Shock-Analog-%2526-Digital-Men's-Watch.product.100399412.html

Might want to check this one: http://www.amazon.com/Casio-G-Shock-Multi-Band-Atomic-AWG100-1A/dp/B001A5HWH8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=watches&qid=1250180574&sr=1-5

That being said, I'm wearing a Mossimo watch I got from Target for $13.98. A boy can dream, can't he?

I want some new watches but I need to sell a few to be able to justify it to myself. I'll pay the shipping cost to COSU and the paypal fees with reasonable offers.

First up is the ever popular Orient Blue Ray EM6500CD. 41mm case automatic with a 22mm lug width, perfect for all those Natos you all love so much. Comes on the original strap with the original box, papers, and hanger tag. There is a mark on the crystal between the 10 and the 11. Looking for $125.

Next up is the beautiful Bulova Precisionist 93B130. 40mm case size and 22mm lug width. The sweeping second hand and deployment clasp make this a great dress watch. It's in great condition and comes with the box and papers. Looking for $125.
http://www.amazon.com/Bulova-96B130-Precisionist-Longwood-Stainless-Steel/dp/B003P1QEFG

Third up for sale is the Bulova Marine Star 98B112. Water resistant to 100M, 41.8mm case & 22mm lugs. 24 hour sub dial at the 9 and 6 position, date at the 12 position. comes with box & papers, looking for $175.

Orient Ray Raven SOLD.

I also have a few 22mm nato straps. $8 each. Edit: Black & grey NATO sold.

https://www.amazon.com/Weather-Digital-Quartz-German-Sensor/dp/B00IMWDYFQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484726790&sr=8-1&keywords=lad+weather

It's a 3 sensor watch styled after the suunto but not a direct copy. The altimeter isn't accurate and I have had to recalibrate it several times in the 6 months I've had it, the compass is off a bit, and the thermometer isn't accurate unless you take off the watch and let it acclimate away from your body. That having been said, it's a 3 sensor watch for 50 bucks and it works fairly well.

OK, /r/watches, what are your recommendations of these five <$1000 divers?

• Archimede SportTaucher
  
  
• Squale 1521
  
  
• Seiko SBDC029
  
  
• Longines Hydroconquest
  
  
• C. Ward C60 Trident 600
  
  I was originally looking at the Steinhart Ocean Titanium, but reviews seem to be mixed. So for a little extra, which of these five divers would you recommend? Any others below $1000 you think are worth checking out? Thanks for helping out.

Sure. They're a lot more expensive than they were back then, but every one is available somewhere as far as I know. This one isn't a good example - it was a LNIB sold for an OK BIN price on eBay - but they're available.

SKZ325

SKZ327

SKZ329

SKZ323

SKZ330

Every one is available.

comes that way

The titanium should be the same - but I was looking at the two watches on Amazon and the shade looked a bit off. I did a visual tab change comparison (not the most accurate comparison, I know) and noticed the difference in the shade.

SBDC029

SBDC007

I also noticed that there is a difference in the gloss of the black bezel - Is there an actual difference when you see it in hand? or is this just the Amazon lighting during the shoot?

Also the price - Why the price so different? Is it the finishing of the watch? is it the feel in the hand? why is there such a huge disparity in price between the two?

You can get sets on amazon with interchangeable lenses for like 20/25 usd.

Timex Men's TW4B02500 Expedition Grid Shock Black Resin Strap Watch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YTYH16Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_M4BLAbAG4P3DR

I have had one for the past several years. My go to work watch.

Too soon to say for sure. I love how it looks, which if I'm being honest is usually the driving force for anything I buy.

At the right angle I can see the digits perfectly. But they're still pretty small. Granted I'm coming off wearing a Suunto D4i and a Timex Expedition Grid Shock watch which both have huge digits and faces/dials.

About the Timex... I really loved that watch, but when it broke it was completely unfixable. The slots on the body of the watch that held the band pins basically dry rotted out and broke. I wasn't going to drop another $60-ish on a watch that was going to break again in 2 years. I went with a G-Shock because they have a reputation of lasting forever.

The glass it like a flippin mirror though.

I haven't dug into the atomic feature to sync it with whatever antenna is within range of my location. When I set the time I just picked the first city that show my local time.

I don't hate it but I don't 100% love it. I'm actually look at other watches already, but I'll probably talk myself off the ledge before I actually commit to another buy.

I'm looking at buying a Seiko dive watch to start my collection and for the life of me cannot find any differences between these two watches outside of the model year. If someone could give me some input or tell me why I should spend the extra money that would be greatly appreciated

Model 1

Model 2

The [LAD WEATHER Watch] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IMWDYFQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_FdkIAbT4MMESJ) includes compass, altimeter and barometer for $45. I've had it for 8 months and so far so good. Will use on 2018 PCT thru.

Orient ray is on sale below $100 on Amazon...can't go wrong with a diver..take off the rubber strap and slap on a nato or leather strap for $10 and you're golden.

If you have a bit of a larger wrist and can go about $150 I would suggest AVI-8...make great pilot chrono's out of the box. I like the Hawker but like I said measure wrist..Im at 7 inches so anything 39-44mm im good with..this watch is 42mm

Orient Ray, Amazon purchase link for spec review

Diameter; 42.5 mm

Band width; 22mm

Thickness; 13mm

Price; $75 shipped conus, paypal ff preferred.

Comes with; Original box from when I purchased, 22mm orient rubber strap, 22mm nato strap (blue, white, orange)

Notes; few small scratches on the crystal, bezel, and bracelet - this was a beater watch. I bought the watch with the rubber nato, but bought a used steel bracelet to replace the rubber strap. Selling because I am downsizing my collection and this one hasn’t seen much wear

wrist shot ~ 7.25”. You can see the two scratches; above the 5 marking and across the 1 marking.

mineral glass - realized that the pictures show a bunch of fingerprint smudges on the mineral glass. This is the current condition of the glass cleaned up.

I have sold a few watches on r/watchexchange along with trades, purchases, and selling on r/goodyearwelt and r/mechmarket.

Minus33 does have a balaclava that covers the neck.( Check it on Amazon)

If you want tight covering on your neck, you can consider a neck buff such as one below

thanks, I got it about a week ago. link

There's not a lot of glare on mountain bike trails, so I wouldn't suggest polarized lenses being a requirement.

There are a lot of $25 sets on Amazon with interchangeable lenses and cases that work just fine for mountain biking without breaking the bank. That's what I use, and they work well.

These are the ones I bought, but there are literally dozens that are similar.

I wear a G-Shock Riseman when I'm out. It's rugged, does what I want it to do, and looks pretty slick to boot.

Luminox makes gorgeous watches but have a shitty customer service. Mine fogs up in cold weather sometimes, and while it does not seem to affect timekeeping, I never got a reply when I tried getting in touch with Luminox.

The band on mine just broke and until I get a replacement, I am wearing a Casio Riseman. Great watch too.

In pocket from left to right:

• Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone
  
• Saddleback Leather Wallet Sleeve (Chestnut color)
  
• "key ring" made from 550 paracord
  
• Leatherman Style PS multi-tool

Seiko neo range?

Stargate?

These are called Citizen Stealth models. Here's one example.

Edit: CA0295-58E might be closer to the one you have.

Winter liner for your helmet, proper winter gloves, and a face mask will make the ride very comfortable.

I have a Bern helmet and they offer a lot of liners compatible with their helmets: http://bernunlimited.com/shop/accessories/knits.html

For gloves I use these (I like how the fingers help hold the handlebars and brakes without reducing finger mobility by having 5 bulky fingers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SOMBQBI/ref=pd_sim_468_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=SA68F2J0KCMWT4VGE10D

Face mask, really anything cheap works. Be sure you air it out before using the first time cause they smell like cheap chemicals: https://www.amazon.com/World-Pride-Face-Snowboard-Motorcycle/dp/B006K930UC/ref=sr_1_16?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1478018406&sr=1-16

I just got a G-shock awg100. So far I love it. It's relatively small for a G-shock. The atomic feature is pretty neat. The analog/digital thing was a little weird at first, but I got used to it quickly.

Here's what I decided on based on the features of the watches these guys picked. I would've gotten one of the ones they did, but this one has a vibration alarm function, which a couple of soldiers in the review section thought was great. It's pretty big, but the rectangular shape should make it look a little smaller than the usual wrist-mounted tactical wall clock.

Timex Men's TW4B025009J Expedition Shock Digital Watch With Black Resin Band https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YTYH16Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_acImxbTJE1X0X

I bought a seiko sea urchin and I'm pretty happy with it. It's an automatic and I luv to watch the second hand sweep through the dial. I would surely recommend it from my personal experience.


Seiko Men's SNZF17J1 5 Sports Automatic Stainless Steel Watch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WU76SUW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_xjbIwbRRS54K0

More seriously, if I were looking for a gshock I'd probably be leaning towards this one. Solar, atomic, chrono, WR 200. A touch over your budget, but not much.

A cheaper alternative, not solar, not atomic, and not as good looking, but still WR 200 would be a DW6900.

Also, there's no such thing as a completely waterproof watch. There's watches that are water resistant down to absurd depths, like the Rolex Deepsea, but even that is not wholly waterproof. The Orient Mako might be a good choice; there's 50% off codes all over the internet for that website. You also couldn't really go wrong with another Timex. Either way, you're almost certainly looking for a diver watch. That link should be a good start.

edit: and if you don't mind spending a little bit more money, you could look into the famed Seiko Black/Orange Monster. I don't find them all that appealing myself, but there's tons of people out there who swear by them.

edit #2: I'm ashamed that I forgot all about the Vostok Amphibia. Those fuckers are indestructible, and way more unique than anything else you'd find on Amazon.

Seiko Monster? I know they're popular with the budget-minded watch collectors but I have never actually seen anyone wear one. By all accounts, it's a very good watch so it might be worth saving up a little extra money.

If you're looking for a tool-ey dive watch check out the Seiko Shogun.

The one reviewed here is the discontinued model.

The new one is the exact same watch except it's been rebranded under the [PROSPEX] ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015ZBZFK8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_jozPAbEE00JQS) line.

An altimeter watch would be cool for snowboarding.

One suggestion

I saw two Orients that fit your description. The Championship and Disk. They're relatively inexpensive, so you can save your folks some cash (or spend the remainder on another watch).

I also searched Amazon for a black metal band + automatic movement. Here's a few results: Seiko Men's SKZ329, Orient EM65007B Men's Ray Raven, Seiko Men's SNZJ67, Android AD563BKK Armor 50.
