Figured G-Shock’s would show up. Waterproof and practically bulletproof.
Something automatic or solar.
Thats a fun one.
Hard to beat a G-Shock. Literally. I guess solar models would be even more suitable.

Yeah.
Apple Watch, so I can call for SOS using satellites 🤣😂
It only takes a few seconds to send the signal…pish posh, rules 😂
Fine, semantics…I’ll bring my Casio Twin Sensor SGW-100. It’s got a compass, thermometer, and world timer.
The watch I was wearing when I got stranded.
Being stranded isn't something you plan for.
Am I trying to live or look good? 😂
That GIF is hilarious!
Simple.. Heck I will die before this Eco-Drive..lol
None.
Gotta be the G-Shock. Tough, Solar, Reliable and a passing ship might see it.
Question begs for how long would I be stranded on this island…haha? If indefinitely, I’d have to leave the “good stuff” at home and have this beast as my watch companion 🤙❤️
A Citizen Chronomaster. It's solar powered high accuracy quartz, +-5 seconds a year, with perpetual calendar. It will run and keep accurate time and date for years, and quartz is robust. This is mine, though I would bring a less blingy one in a titanium on a bracelet.
Oh no... this is a rare case where I'm gonna have to say my Garmin instinct solar! Too many benefits to ignore when faced with this scenario. Also look at the battery life, and solar will charge it from dead. I hate to have to make this decision, as outside of work I would never wear this watch!
Whatever I was wearing when I boarded the S.S. Minnow for that “three hour tour.”
Solar is a must when stranded, plus 200m, accuracy and tough.
Isn’t the correct answer to this question the BREITLING EMERGENCY?
Hefty
Tritium inside
White dial/Black hands
Search and Rescue operations
Automatic
300M
I'd use this as a raft and swim home 🤣👌
G-Shock. Must be tough solar though.
A solar....so my Eco Drive and automatic, so...I'll go with my Steinhart Ocean 39.
Time to do like Stormin' Norman and double-wrist it! 😁😛
Solar Gshock
I have a #davosa Ternos ceramic and a #citizen eco drive dive watch, I'd bring those #divewatch
not diving 😂
