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 Luminox watch 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.
I can vouch for its durability on the slopes. I am a professional ski instructor and it’s never let me down. It also looks like a Tag heuer watch for a fraction of the cost.
