I cant figure out what goes on with the compass headings.
That may be the one. Searching now.
If the Speedmaster had a year and decade counter, it would be ideal for measuring soil erosion- but it falls short for this type of work.
Plus, you can’t take it in the pool.![]()
Ok, I pulled the trigger on the Vaer Heritage Quartz (Quartz😲) The Miyota movement version is $450 US so that was out.
Vaer has this promo feature to slam dunk the sale. A wheel of fortune. When you give them your Email and you get one spin. My spin got me a 15% discount on the watch ($30😁). So out the door and delivered (free) just under $200 US. The watch comes with two straps and all the typical trimmings.
Big thanks to @wagudc for the referral

You want a robust, accurate watch to wear to work and don't want to pay a lot. To me quartz is the obvious choice.
I am always resistant to a quartz watch. But my Timex is so durable and accurate (+-1sec over a month) that it has made me a believer. For a work watch, I don't want to have to wind or adjust the time. Set it and forget it.
Actually, a date is kind of an imperative for field duty- specifically when you are on a 2 week back-woods assignment and the boat picking you up is coming at 6am on the 5th....what’s the date today?!?!
2 weeks, leaving on the 5th? Wait, what month is it? 31 or 30 days? Hold on, I got to count on my knuckles . . . crap was 30 days. Did I already set the date back one?
