Anyone have experience with any of these Field watches?

Hello everyone, new here and wanted to see if anyone had personal input or could maybe refer some better ones? I recently lost a ton of weight and am changing up my style and have seen alot of these watches worn casually.

Thanks for the advice!

These are all cheap and cheerful. If you want better you can buy a clean-faced one with automatic movement (no batteries) and swap out the strap for the NATO ones features. Something in the Seiko 5 range might be a good place to start...

Ahh yes I was actually looking at the Seiko 5, are you not a fan of those type of straps that they already have?

Sekio 5s get great reviews on here, though there's nothing wrong with a decent looking quartz. And I love the NATO band on that timex.

All of them seem to be 37mm too, which is nice. Giant watches tend to look gaudy IMO, I avoid anything over 40mm. Admittedly, part of that is that I'm a fairly small guy with small wrists, but various giant watches look awful to me on other people too.

I don't think that my other post has shown up yet but I'm thinking of getting the seiko 5
Thanks for the advice guys... Now to find some Edmond Allen's !

With a little work and patience you should be able to find an old Omega automatic, especially affordable if you find one without a band. Throw a NATO on it and you have a great classic that will always be worth something if you decide to change your look.

Yeah would make sense to invest on something like a nice watch... Always worth it and I agree. Will definitely look around for a nice omega/orient watch maybe..?
