Let's have a spot of fun. (Is that allowed in these parts?)

What watch would you want to have on your wrist when the apocalypse is upon us? This'll mean no batteries are available when you need a replacement, no repairs or servicing is available, nor are replacement parts.

Keeping reasonable time will be important so that you know when the next emergency signal or marauding zombies are due - they're a punctual lot.

And in the spirit of the game, all watch repair tools have been destroyed by a rather zealous government, so there's no home DIY servicing that can be done either, if you're that way inclined.

Let's be having it. What's your apocalypse watch of choice?

I'll have to take my chances with a reasonably priced G-Shock Solar.

Surely the F98W? The only watch you ever need. The watch of Princes and paupers, Al Qaeda leaders and schoolboys. Truly classless and with no pretences of wealth or style. The perfect watch for the Apocalypse, and every other day.
While I'm one of the paupers who has one, I'm not sure I'd trust the strap to last in a frenzied attack.

A good head shot with that watch would take down the average zombie
Or the average elephant.
