Citizen Eco Drive 200 m BM6400387 viewsIts easy too read at a glance, has fantastic lume, a reliable Eco-drive movement and can be purchased for less than US$150. I wear one at my job as a maintenance/caretaker and it has served me well.

Here in the US I've noticed that most ppl buy G-Shocks with MSRP under USD $100. All of the following are under USD $100.217 viewsSubmitted by Adam in NYC
I'll interpret what Adam did not explicitly say: these G-Shocks are so inexpensive that people use (or abuse) them and when they are broken, they will be replaced without tears being shed. I remember that during the Swatch high (mid 90ies) many Swiss service men would buy or use a Swatch with exactly that line of thought (Note Reto)Aug 26, 2009

Luminox 3000 Series372 viewsI see this watch worn by police, fire, and ambulance crew quite often.
The case is very tough, molded of carbon-reinforced polymer. The watch has water resistance to 20 ATM.
The movement is battery operated Swiss quartz. Just a no-nonsense timepiece that tells the time of day.
In any lighting conditions.

I see service men and women in G-Shocks mostly, but309 viewsI think they would be better served by the Luminox because it is analogue and has a functional elapsed time bezel. Personally I find digital watches too abstract. The mind always knows how to interpret hour and minute hands and a visual bezel when in a high stress mental fog. Plus you need to use both hands to control the functions of a digital watch and your other hand may be doing something it cannot be taken away from if you are a soldier, medic or fireman.
There are certain additional advantages to a multi-functional digital, but as a basic timepiece it can fail to deliver the pertinent information whereas an analogue watch such as the Luminox is ready at a glance.
So I vote for a high-contrast Luminox/Traser such as the white or yellow on black, with a black dial.
