Which kind of watch would you prefer to have on your wrist if you were to become stranded in a deserted island: mechanical or quartz?
Drop a photo of the watch you'd choose in the comments.

I am cheating with a EcoDrive quartz 😁and assume the weather conditions are fantastic on this island. Preferably my BM7620 from Citizen.
If I'm going to be in the sand, sun, and ocean all day, long enough to be building things, swinging tools, and wrestling creatures, it's gotta be this one.
The one to rule them all...
I changed my mind on the watch. I'd probably opt for the DW-291. The digital may not last as long as the HDA600 that I originally picked. However, I'd assume that the water resistance would be better. Though the HDA600 would still be a strong contender.

I'd have opted for a Gshock if I had one that was solar powered in my collection.

Jason ... dude ... all of your watch purchases are on hold until you get a GW-6900 or if that is too big I'll allow a GWM5610. 🤣 Cheers
So I can get off the Island lol!
If I was there it wouldn't be deserted.
My G Shock GW5000U would be my choice.

You win!

I've had my eye on the GW6900. I own the DW6900. 😅 so close, but so far. I've got a couple of relatives who say I'm difficult to shop for at holidays, so they're vying on who is going to get the GW6900 for me.
G-shock always a G-shock
Citizen eco-drive quartz
OR:
If it were deserted, I would not care about the exact time.
But I would like to have a nice object to look at, for the sake of good mental health.
Therefore, I would take a nice and fun mechanical watch.
Wilson, I think I'll wear the Rolex today.
Stranded on a dessert island I think I would throw the watch away just like if I was sent to prison I wouldn't want a watch there either that would drive you crazy all you need to know on those places I'd day time night time .
I would buy an over engineered Citizen eco drive or G-shock. I know for a fact those things are gonna run and not fail me if I drop them.
My dog says take the solar eco-drive quartz 👍😊
All the expertise one needs.
I’m still going to be too busy to listen to someone sell me solar panels though 😇
They're relentless lol
Team Casio has entered the chat 😏
I feel like that should be a season of Survivor. I don't watch it, but it would be funny to divvy up the teams by watches.
Khaki Field Mechanical, but an eco-drive citizen or solar Casio would be right there as well
I’d want a breitling emergency
My Co-axial Omega. 10 year service intervals, no battery/capacitor, EMP proof & ridiculous accuracy for a mechanical.
If my life depends on it, that's why I bought it.
Robert Redford wore an skx, Charlie Sheen a Willard, I guess a turtle for me or baby tuna, the big tuna is way too bulky.
Quartz is only compromised by the battery in this situation.
This one as I wouldnt have to worry about getting mugged !
G-shock always a G-shock
As soon I read the post title, I knew the comments would be chock full of G's! Just typing the words "only one watch" is enough to summon all the G Shock fans! 😂

Rugged, solar, date/year to count how long you're on the Island. I mean, the thing might outlast me on a deserted Island

Yup. If you and the watch both survive you'll know exactly how wany days you were marooned for your speaking tour. 😂

Not if it’s Solar.
