The Functional Sweet Spot
I wanted a true “beater” that could also be used in hunting scenarios. Looked at G-Shocks but eventually decided that I like the simplicity of traditional watches without alarms, menus, cluttered dial, etc.
Ended up landing on this. The boxes it checked:
Lightweight
Analog face instead of digital for legibility at a glance
Numeric markers instead of dots for even more legibility, similar to a field watch
Straightforward timing mechanism in the dive-style bezel
100 meters water resistance
Quartz movement for reliability
Black case to limit reflections as much as possible.
Cheap, so no heartache if damaged

I know I'll end up with one of these in my collection.
MRW200, I assume?
And it is also used by NASA. I agree this model is a true gem!
Wore one of those for 2 years straight when I was racing off road motorbikes.
It never let me down, that's a serious tough watch 💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻

You know it 👍🏻 MRW200H-1BV
Good watch. Tried it on nato straps and using a lug expander. But think I'll put mine back onto the stock plastic strap.

Yeah, the stock strap is just “right” for it. I tried leather today but it’s just okay.
I've owned 3 of these in the past and used them for swimming and dog walking. They're hard to beat at their price point
