Solar Eclipse in 11 Days! You going? With what watch?
Here’s a silly one. What watch would you wear OR recommend for a once in a lifetime total eclipse of the sun?

Haven’t been collecting long. Vintage mostly, but experimenting lately with some new stuff. Most of my purchases are less than $100.

Right now all I can think of is a chrono. 😂
Perhaps this watch ???
I would take this one:
Luckily I live right in the path on texas oklahoma border. Not sure yet maybe my tritium deep blue
Probably gonna be wearing this beauty on the day of. If not then maybe my zelos mako will get some wear time (don’t have the zelos yet, hence no photo)
Was fortunate enough to be at the last one of the millennium in Cornwall 1999. Got a tattoo on back of my neck to commemorate it.
Was genuinely amazing, seeing the shadow rush towards us and the birds going quiet.
Dunno for sure, but guess I was wearing either an SKX or G-Shock.
Anything except solar watch 😂
A Patek Philippe Sky-Moon Tourbillon.
Something with decent lume?
My field watch as I'd prefer to be lying in some field watching it pass us by like it doesn't even know we exist peace 🕊️
Since I live in Austin, in the path of totality, I have no choice but to go, HAHA. Because of the backlight, I'm considering my Lunar Pilot or my metal square G-Shock. However, I doubt I'll be looking at my watch.
This gem from 1985, casio cgw-500 with calendar to the year 2200 and with total and partial eclipse dates. Of course it shows the current position of planets on the display for us interplanetary travellers...
We're smack in the path of Totality where I live, and I'll be wearing one of my Solar Citizen Eco Drive watches!

That is pretty slick!

Nice! I have an 8 hour drive!

Yeah but maybe you can grab a photo right before totality starts.
This one is too far from home, but I was able to get into the totality for the last one, it was awesome. I'd probably wear my Zelos Mako V3 Titanium Frost if I was going, get that sweet lume glow when the darkness hits! Not that I would even be looking at my watch, the eclipse is too cool to look away from.
I'll be wearing the only 1 I have with a moon phase.

Great choice!
Going up to Indiana to see (hopefully) the eclipse with my mom. Not sure what watch to wear yet - maybe my new Casio Oceanus, since I’ll want something super accurate.

Ok that is too cool. 😎
