5610. I have that and the casioak and think it would be better for that use case.

I have this at home for your exact use case. Very happy with it.

+1 for 5610 as well. Luminox and Timex are both fragile imo

I would also suggest a Suunto Core (or Core Alpha Stealth for a more rugged version), if you expect to be outdoors in the field a lot. The compass and barometer are very useful, and the watch itself is very sturdy.

Will it be a business casual watch?

Man, get a g shock lol can never wrong there

I’m with Google1, and I know some consultant here also recommended citizen eco drive. It’s solar powered, reliable, and can have a host of features… It’s great!

Casio Duro if you want an analog Some Seiko quartz options but I think there are better mechanicals in that range from Seiko

I Love the DW6900s, especially some of the limited edition ones. I own the White Mayer and the Bamford DW6900s and both are gorgeous.

Timex GMT also a decent one to look at

You’re probably safer in developing countries than in new york city

Question for moms. I’m getting married next year and have several close family members that will have babies ages 8-11 months old by then. What are some ways I can support the moms and make it an enjoyable experience for them? We have a separate room at the venue that I was thinking could be offered to the parents to use, or potentially hiring a babysitter for them (either at the venue or back at the hotel). I would love for the families to be able to come, as it is out of town.

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂
