Year In Review: The #13 Story Of ’22: A Fire Jumper Shares Her Favorite Work Watch
These days, my work-watches span a handful of tough and legible timepieces, but I primarily wear a Sangin Instruments x Triple Aught Design Dark Professional. These are quartz, but they have an end-of-life battery indicator, which gives ample warning to change out the battery when needed.
They are really tough, glow well, and the company is run by genuinely nice people. I still frequently use my watch as a tool for my work, especially as a backup timing device for tracking air use when my team is breathing on an SCBA (that’s like SCUBA, but we aren’t underwater) for hazmat entries and Large Area Searches in buildings.
