What time is it? Watches and horology

Any recs for a tough clear to read reliable watch to wear for daily work in a engineering environment?
G-Shock?

Depends what you need it to do. A G-Shock is probably the right answer but you may find an analogue watch easier to read at a glance, eg:

If you do look at G-Shocks, check out the ones with the newer generation MIP displays like the GBD-200 series or the G-Lide GBX-100 series as the displays are way easier to read in all light conditions than the older LCDs. Also it looks like the screen is crammed with loads of info but you can switch it to just show the time in large numerals (or dual time, etc) plus the date.

in a engineering environment

You'll be aware, however, nothing with a bracelet, especially if any electricity around. I've a friend with a burn scar to prove and it was only 24v

I've always quite like these a a G-shock alternative although i only look for G-shock alternatives as any I've tried look too big on me

Traser H3?

Personally I prefer my Pro-Trek for easy to read and tough

Also, as Regal says, the Citizen Super tough is pretty good looking, tough and easy to read. It's the watch I wear 90% of the time.

Just cause you didn’t mention any budget… GS SBGX293 is super cool. So is a Railmaster or a Milgauss?
