Don't got out on a SWAT maneuver without this and give the criminals an edge.
Crook: [during a diner robbery] What's you doing, you pighead sucka?
Harry Callahan: Every day for the past ten years, Loretta here's been giving me a large black coffee- except today she gives me a large black coffee and it has sugar in it. Alotta sugar. I just came back to complain.
Crook: Say what, sucka?
Harry Callahan: Well, we're not just gonna let you walk out of here.
Crook: Who's we sucka?
Harry Callahan: [slowly drawing his .44 Magnum] Smith and Wesson... and me.
I guess these serve as targets for the SWAT drills?
Interesting that they make the numbers so big you can barely fit them all on the dial as if the intention is to make it easier to read, then they ruin the effect by making the hands 50% the same color as the face and add red markings in in a linear shape with the second hand also red.
What makes this "Tactical?"
^ Low reflectivity, black, and the cloth band.
"Tactical" is used in the military/police sales business to entice "wannabes" to buy stuff that looks military, but often gets sold to dorks. If you wannabe....and can.....go to see your local military/police recruiter.....and then you will be offered the real stuff at PX prices....or possibly free.....but there are some risks.
Is it possible they can come to me, I don't want to have to get up from this nice warm chair?
Tactical watch, never saw one of those used in any form ever in thirty years.
Tactical watches make nice beater watches if priced low enough. They tend to have easy to read dials and comfortable cloth straps, though not only are they not flashy, some people at first glance might assume one is a $15 plastic casio or generic... not that there's anything wrong with a $15 plastic casio for a beater watch either... and the plastic strap on those won't be as hard to clean off if you're doing something dirty.
Emo nerds also like them because it matches their black attire without making them look like the prior punk generation who preferred shiny silver accents.
I'm still looking for a strategical watch.
