Best men's watch for male nurses

Updated:   Published

Hey everyone. I'm starting nursing school next month and am looking for a cheap watch that's good for when I'm in the hospital. I've seen people mention military time is useful, plastic bands and water resistant so it can't be thrown in the washing machine if it gets dirty. Anyone out there who is in school or working have any suggestions? Thanks

Love g shock. been using it for a while now haven't had any problems it's durable, looks sick and gets the job done for me.

Yeah right. $8000 watch. For duty as an RN. Tell us, what color is the sky in your world?

Timex Ironman. Cheap at ~$30, durable, and gets the job done. Blood done hanging in an hour? Use the timer. Taking a pulse? Digital with seconds. Get crap on it? Take it off and soak it in hot, bleachy water. I found mine at the bottom of a 15' pool while swimming laps some day. The next day it was still there so I took it. That was 3 years ago and I've only ever had to change the batts once.

Any watch by jaeger lecoultre would be a good choice, however if you're on a budget, may I interest you in the casio CA53W aka watch of Walter White in the first few seasons of Breaking Bad, aka calculator nerd watch.

Hey it's good to be a nerd nowadays. Just to sell this watch with some facts. I own one. It works well. I use it when I take my exams since I'll always have math questions. It's $15. It's very light on the wrist, you won't even notice it.

Some cons would be no light, and large fingers.

Other than that, buy one!!

Choose your time piece wisely.

My regular work watch is a Luminox BO, but I'll occasionally throw on my Omega SMP.

I'm rocking a Massimo watch I got at Target for $10. All grey, large face, rubber band, hand-washing proof. Fashionable enough that I wear it out and about, too. Just has the typical hands face with second hand, so no date. Sometimes the winder knob malfunctions, which throws the time off, but it's easy enough to double check it with the floor clocks. I'm one semester away from graduating, at which time I'll upgrade to something better, but for know, I don't have to worry about losing it or breaking it.

G shock! They're cheap on Amazon. I bought one for me, my son and my construction worker boyfriend.

They're great for nurses because they're durable, keep military and civilian time, have big faces/ are easy to read, light up faces and keep track of seconds.

I use a Disney mickey mouse watch with plastic straps, it is colorful and the peds love it. I suggest getting a cheap watch with plastic straps or at least nothing fibrous or leather. If your hand gets covered in body fluids you want something easily cleanable that won't hold onto small "chunks". Don't use an everyday watch on the unit, have a dedicated nursing watch.
