Personally, I don't like wearing a wristwatch while in the field, especially if the weather is hot. I carry a Hamilton built LL Bean mechanical (winding) pocket watch I bought about 30 years ago. It still works like a champ and I don't remember ever having it serviced. I don't remember what I paid for it, but it was well under $100.
