10 Watches that can take a summer beating

Here’s what we’re looking for: Good looking watches that can handle some sweat, some water, and a little jostling around without buying the farm. With the warmer weather approaching many of us are heading outside to move. Both on land, & in the water. And then maybe after all that moving around we’ll go grab a beer with friends. Here are ten watches that should be able to handle all of that.

Timex T498759J Expedition – $35.00

Surprisingly solid feeling for it being priced in the rickety weekender range. Nice sized crown, a nylon/leather combo strap, indiglo, a matte stainless steel case, and an impressive 100m in water resistance. And if somehow a little water does get in there, it’s not like it would cost a ton to replace. (But remember it’s 100m, so you should be good.)

Seiko SRP553 Automatic – $198

Seems like the design team at Seiko is starting to veer back towards more traditional, less future-y looking designs. And that’s a good thing. Real nice feel to this 44mm case offering. Would look great on a Bond style nato strap. Also available on a rubber strap with a bit of blue on the bezel.

Maratac Large Pilot (46mm) Automatic – $289.00

Wow, these things have skyrocketed in price over the last few years. Was once one of the better deals on the market, at just under $200, but is now inching close to three bills. BUT, if you like em’ big, or you’re just a big dude looking for something proportional, the Maratac large pilot still might be a good fit. It’s every one of its 46mm in diameter. 100m water resistance. No branding. Terrific onion screw-down crown at 4’oclock. Sapphire crystal. Bold & simple. They were making a mid-sized version for a while, but those seem to be discontinued.
