Something like either of these would work. Very unlikely anyone would remove your arm just above the wrist with a machete, if you wore one like either of these. 😀

Excellent travel watch. Tough, waterproof, not expensive, doesn't look like much. I also use Seiko SKX 007 and Tudor Black Bay

My old travel watch. It literally travelled around the world with me.

These are usually my “go to” watches when travelling. So I rotate and use mine a lot, usually bring a few with me per trip.

I usually go with the Blue Lagoon Samurai. The colours just make me think of sunshine and holiday

The last time I traveled overseas (Amsterdam) I enjoyed these:

For going out in the evening (concerts, etc):


And for the rest of the time (the GMT bezel was very useful):

Time to stink up the joint...I wear a 1990's Polar heart rate monitor. It has a loud alarm, is easy to change the time, and it's not something I worry about. I kept it after the chest strap (for the heart rate) went kaput, just for the times I needed a watch that I didn't worry about at all.

Funny , I wore this on a business trip a few weeks ago, and when I saw a guy wearing a newer Polar watch, I had to start talking about watches and fitness with him.

OP, New Westminster guy here. Be careful and don't take a Submariner (AKA the most recognizable watch the Planet).

I carry a beater for the sketchy locals, other than that rock what you want. South America and Africa are a different kettle of fish.

Funny, I read for the first time "a different kettle of fish" yesterday in a column by Rex Murphy (a journalist from Newfoundland).

Rex Murphy writes good (non watch) stuff.

For a versatile Go-Anywhere-Do-Anything (GADA) watch, that's inexpensive and quite durable, I rather like my Alpinist.

The camels appear somewhat indifferent though...😗

Two weeks swimming in Greece with a Seiko 7002--loved it:

Eventually I hope to graduate to a 300 or Ploprof....
