Thread: Which one is the real Navy Seal watch?

I'm pretty sure it's up to the sailor, airman, marine or soldier on what watch to wear. There may be parameters like has to be not flashy or over a certain cost. Nothing that has a disco ball on it I'm sure.

I'm active military and I wear a Suunto, G-Shock watches are also popular. I have never seen anyone I know wear a Luminox in uniform

USAF stocks/issues authorized National Stock Number (NSN) watches thru Individual Equipment (IE). In the 90s I was issued a Timex, buddies managed to finagle Marathons if I remember correctly.

I have a Luminox which has a Seal logo on the case back. I believe they have a licensing agreement with the Navy to use the logo for marketing, but that's the extent of it. AFAIK, all SF types are allowed to wear whatever they want. I believe I remember reading in Chris Kyle's book that we wore a G-Shock during his deployments.

I've trained SEALs on base, including team 6. The only thing they are issued close to a watch is the big Garmin wrist GPS unit. They wear Sunnto, G-shock and Timex Ironmen.

Damn, and here I was thinking every Navy SEAL wore a JLC Master Compressor Diving Automatic "Navy SEALs"...

Poor taste? Sure. Actually, the topic was about Navy Seals and the watches they sport.
