When You Need Reliable Time, You Need A Military Watch

Looking for a cheap military smartwatch? If you are into the outdoors or just want that tough look, a military watch is designed to survive through water, dirt, crashes, and snow.  Unlike smartwatches, these are designed to be reliable, tough and last for years on a single battery. You don’t get the wifi and phone connection, but you get something that won’t send a low battery alert halfway through a mission.

What makes a military watch a military watch? These key things:

• Water-resistance – most real rugged watches will have this, keep an eye out for IP68 or IPX8 water ratings.
• Backlight – Battery powered or glowing material. Some even have radioactive tritium so they glow for 20+ years.
• Strap – tough strapping or rubber is common in military watches, it is light strong and comfortable.
• Shockproof – A strong case provides strength against busy lifestyles. Tough plastic is more common than metals, due to weight and also corrosion resistance.
