I Have a Field Watch Problem!
This is the field watch section of my collection. Most people have a quartz beater or two. I have four in addition to my two newer automatic field watches from Vero and Bulova.
The Timex watches really do “take a licking and keep on ticking”. I don’t even know how old they are, but I just replaced the 5-year battery on the Cabelas branded watch for the 4th time!
Maybe I should concentrate on the other areas of my collection.

Great strap selections!

I also might have a strap problem! 🤣
Nice field watch collection! I am partial to the usefulness and practicality of field watches. Even my chronographs have a field watch base. I say add a Bertucci to the collection! Nice to see the Timex watches in there!
It is good to know what you like.
I don’t see a problem 😉
Love that Smokey the Bear watch. 🐻
That smokey the bear one is oddly kinda cool
you have a field watch specialty!

Vero builds some nice watches and provides a 10-year warranty that covers everything including getting chewed by a bear!🐻 plus they give back to the National Forest Service. Win/Win!
Awesome collection Ellis, I love field watches. I have 2 right now (not counting digital tool watches). Field watches are the perfect watch, they’re rugged and built with legibility in mind.
The point of a collection is personal. If you like a thing, no need to feel pressure to do anything else. If field watches speak to you for some reason then just get lost in the iterations and enjoy! If you’re like me and get curious about other styles or aspects of the hobby then that’s a different story. Follow your curiosity and you can’t go wrong.
I see the problem. Not enough field watches! 😂
I mean where's the vintage-style fieldies? Where's the A11 with arrow indices? No solar field watch? There isn't even a Dirty Dozen! You clearly need more... 😏
Seriously though, that's an awesome collection. I love field watches too, and I approve this message. Also, I see you have a Vero, which is from my city! 👍🏽
The real question though: which one is your favorite?
Smokey's the best.
Problem? This looks more like a solution to me.
I see field watches, I don't see a problem!
Nice collection! Field watches were my favorite but now I have a gshock square problem lol
That Cabelas - a beauty. So, are these still out there?
All they sell are G-Shocks and smart watches these days. That old watch has been a reliable hunting buddy for 20 years. It’s field dressed dozens of deer and cleaned hundreds of birds with me. I think it is an old Citizen quartz movement. The most reliable watch I’ve ever owned.

A stunner. U are a lucky man.
Dude that Vero Smokey is 🔥🔥🔥
Love the Vero Smokey edition!
I've been meaning to visit their assembly facility just outside of Portland. They do a pretty thin dive watch I've been tempted buy.
That's your thing! Some people have a "thing" I really want a field watch but can't decide which one I really want to get.
What is that Smokey the Bear watch? That's dope. I like bears that are active in preventing forest fires. They are the best type of bears, better than ones that steal pikinick baskets.
Ahhh Vero Watch Co. Need to check those out.
I love field watches! Great looking group you have there!
Love the timexs!
Nice problem to have😉

At least it’s less expensive than a Rolex problem! 🤣

As someone on here says ... Ro😉lex, Schmolex!.
That is not a problem! Enjoy!
Nice collection! However, that is not a problem. This is a problem.
I think the only problem is you don’t have more field watches. 😉
