This post is a follow up to the piece below. As it happens, we have come across an amazing site for outdoor gear. It appears this author has cataloged and written about all of the best gear makers that ever existed (in the United States.)
We are talking about the real Holubar (pictured: legendary down gear), Sierra Designs, Gerry, Filson and more. Time permitting, we might discover that some of these outfits gave birth to high-end brands of today. When you look at the price tags of Marmot and MontBelle however, their origins are likely more prosaic.
It feels like cool venture capitalism.
Which leaves us a little cold.
Look, we don’t really know what watches the U.S. Navy SEALs wear. In fact, we’re not sure if you should care what watches SEALs wear unless you are a SEAL. (If you are a SEAL, by the way, you can wear any damn watch you please.) That said, we like the 
that’s advertised as the Original Navy SEAL Dive Watch. Since we didn’t put this watch through the rigorous testing of wearing it while jumping out of a helicopter, swimming two kilometers, then blowing up an enemy installation, we can’t vouch for its durability. What we can vouch for is that it looks good, the glow-in-the-dark markings are very bright, it keeps good time, and the price–around $200–is reasonable. It also comes in different face colors, such as black, white, orange, blue and, our favorite, yellow.
