    Question COWBOY watches?

    There is the function issue, but there is also the "look" aspect.
    What sort of watches do cowboys wear? Field watches?

    I ask bcz, unlike divers and pilots, cowboys wear the same outfit they did since forever.
    After all, cowboying is not a technology-based work. Not really.

    So, I am thinking. what goes well (looks good) a cowboy hat and boots?

    That reads like a bad punchline, but you get a like anyway.

    Sometimes I wonder if you're a programmer who wrote a forum random topic generator. Maybe you're just software generating conversation. A bot that forum owners buy to populate forums.

    LOL!

    A cowboy has to have a water-proof field watch. It should be a chronograph.

    Timing how fast they run the 100metres when they jab the branding iron on their arse

    I don't know. I don't guess all cowboys need one, but when I used to work hard outside I needed to time things all the time.

    Maybe you time the interval between calf births or you have to stick your hand in there or something.

    I think this thread "Cowboy watches" is somehow related to the Invicta thread?

    If they wore one it at all, it would be hard to argue against a G-Shock or even an ABC watch. Can be viewed at night, has various timers, alarms, etc. From an analog standpoint, I think a simply infantry field watch or perhaps a diver with a timing bezel.
