Tool Watches (Part Two) - Jungles, ugly sticks and hammers oh, and the best tool watches under 5k! - Ep #37
In the follow-on to Part One of our tool watch special, we ask \u2018what makes a modern tool watch?\u2019 and discuss how it differs to the tool watches of the past.
\nThe guys also give their top choices for tool watches under \xa35000 and pick a wild card \u2018no holds barred\u2019 option for those with an unlimited budget\u2019.
\nRichard reveals the watch that has been his trusty companion in some truly unforgiving environments, from the desserts of the Kalahari to the jungles of Trindad and Tobago. Plus he selects the watch that he\u2019d choose to cross the dessert with now. We think you\u2019ll be surprised by his choices!
\nAntony throws down the gauntlet to his co-hosts as he sets them a challenge to find him a G-shock he actually likes and can take with him when he secures a job at the North Pole.
\nMeanwhile Tim argues the case for true tool watches to be affordable and maybe not even mechanical at all; in fact, maybe something more akin to a hammer!
\nDiscussion also widens into the realms of Faraday cages vs non-ferrous materials to achieve anti-magnetic watches, and we\u2019re left wondering why more watch brands don\u2019t harness the power of the sun to keep their tool watches ticking.
\nFinally, can you guess whose heart was in his mouth as he feared for his Rolex at the Science Museum of all places?
