Omega ultralight is $50k?!

If it works for Eric Singer it should handle the green.

Check out the Omega Aqua Terra. I don’t know about the golf swing. But I believe it’s a solid watch that would handle it. Same brand, similar style with a better price. Both are beautiful watches.

Quartz is much lighter and more shock resistant. And it can feel super premium with titanium and sapphire.

This one is 9mm thick and only 28 grams. Or around 35 grams with a nice fabric strap.

Mine is from the Lineage series for under 200. There's also others without a screen so they might look better to you.

Oceanus is their most premium series from around 500 to a grand. No digital screens on those.

The omega is almost double the weight (55g with fabric strap - they didn't say the weight of the rubber one) and you can get 312 of these Casios for the price of one Omega.

I mean yeah it's not quite as fancy but it's pretty damn close and it's finished extremely well.

If you’re a Tudor fan, the Pelagos 39 is titanium, tough, and light as a feather. RRP is just under $5k.

Am I the only one who was confused why the arrow didn't show the next picture? 😅

Anyway, Damasko is a brand which focuses on durability. They're on my wishlist so I can't give my personal experience but maybe another Cruncher can confirm if it survives golf / woodchopping / ... . It's a totally different style of watch though.

So just wait until 50k is disposable, wear a g-shock in the meantime & don’t worry so much about flexing at the 19th.

But it’s all about flexing…. Lol.

I truly want a watch that is mechanical and one that is built for shock resistance from a golf swing…

Richard Mille is obviously out of range also…..

I have wondered about the aqua terra. They market it a ton towards golfers but I don’t know if you can take them and swing them….

Anyone happen to know?

Love the Pelagos 39. But I am not looking to add another water watch to my collection. I just recently acquired a seamaster as gift!

You may be onto something. Never say never

As a golfer, I have wondered this as well. Rolex actually mentions playing golf in their watches on their website. This applies to all watches (Oyster Perpetual included) in their lineup. I don’t believe they have any special tech other than shock resistant. I imagine any Omega, Tudor, or the like would have similar tech that would allow golf.

With that said, I play golf with the Garmin S62.

How bad is your golf game that the “shock” of hitting a golf ball is going to damage a modern mechanical watch? Do you hit the ground, a tree, or another golfer repeatedly with your club when you make a bad shot?

Watches designed specifically for shock are very expensive. Get a regular aqua terra on rubber and have it service twice as often and it will be fine most likely.

If it's about the styling there is this with Ti case, retractable crown, rather light weight,...

If it's about weight minimisation there will be this although it will most likely be one 10,000.

Most watches will do the trick. Some watches, like Bremont are made for extreme shock, but unless you are hitting the ground more than the ball, I imagine you will okay. As others said, I would wear something I do not have to worry about of could help, like a smart watch.

lol - i don't have much to say about my golf game but rest assured, i do not have hit the ground or anything in temtrum. i am out there to enjoy myself and unwind.

there is polarzing views on whether a mechanical watch can be worn while golfing. some say, no problem and then you have guys like rory mcilroy that says it's not a good idea...

it looks like the ming is in demand and low in production. never heard of them... very cool!

Nice

I play with a Tag Golf - I’m still rubbish

Yeah, as others have said, you're probably not going to damage a more affordable mechanical watch playing golf. I wear all my watches riding a bike; constant vibration and abuse, never had any of them fail. Maybe a golf swing is more extreme in the shock department, maybe not.

But if you want specifically shock resistance in a mechanical watch, look at a Wolbrook or Douglas (same company, different tiers of watch). Says right on the dial, "shock resistant." They mount the movement on rubber o-rings. They make a few different models. I like their aesthetics but that's always subjective. I have a Douglas. I had to fine tune it's accuracy myself (I don't recommend others do that, but I had no problem doing so) and it's running at +6 seconds a day, consistently, for months now.

This watch is so ridiculously overpriced I made a video about it

Most modern sports watches will get the job done.

Just get a moonswatch for golf!!🤣

Marathon Auto (MSAR, GSAR, JDD)

Elliot Brown Auto Holton

Not auto but Marathon Navigator

Tudor Pelagos Any flavor

Tudor PO-1

Some of these are well under $5K and still VERY nice watches.

Take the money you don't spend on a watch and:

- Order a set of hand forged Honmas or some other JDM. They make some sweet stuff.

- Upgrade all your iron shafts with newer variants of the graphite/metal mesh shafts. (Trust me, technology has come a loooooong way. You can get an iron or wedge shaft that minimizes vibration, recoils for your specific swing path, and has custom stepped tip/middle/butt stiffness.) It's eye opening.

- Buy a set of Twirled Geoms.

- Buy a Breakthrough Golf Stability Putter Shaft.

- Heck, go get fit for a set of PXG irons and forged wedges with the extra?

On another note I've played since I was 6 until now and I'm staring 40 in the face. Played competitively through community college. Never had an issue with my dad's Seiko rocking a 7s26. Never noticed issues with my Orient's/Seiko's/Micros either.

And I have an aggressive swing transition and swing speed. YMMV of course.

Forgot about the Wolbrooks. Good call @craiger.

What’s up with this concern about shock resistance, earlier it was chopping wood, now golf swing. The golf swing thing was mention in the wood chopping debate

I’ve never chopped wood but I’ve played a ton of golf. And I’ve played with most of my mechanical watches none more than my GMT. TAG, Tudor, Hamilton, Seiko. No problems with any of them, ever.

Have you seen the Hublot Golf Watch?? It has a score keeping complication, its awesome.. They go for around $20k , $30k new.... It's the best watch Hublot makes, I would buy one in a second if I could

I would go quartz. A G-Shock Casioak or another one of their analogue displays.
