You would think that with the inception of modern cell phones, needs once met by watches would be overcrowded. Who needs an alarm or chronometer on their watch when a phone can be used as one? It turns out it’s not that simple: guys love redundancies – many carry several bottle openers on them at all times, for example – more on that in future posts.

Watches still need to meet at least one basic criteria: they gotta look real sharp. The Canteen won’t disappoint: it’s got an oversized face available in 2 widths (45 or 50mm), a screw on attached crown-cap, uncluttered dial with date, and unique black-on-black case/numbers/hands. Interestingly, they coated the hands and numbers with a Super Luminova glow in the dark layer (who knew black could glow in the dark?).
