Moonwatch vs X-33. which one would you actually choose?
With all the Artemis missions coming back into focus, I was reading about how astronauts still use both the Moonwatch and the X-33.
What I found interesting is that it’s not really about one being better, they serve completely different purposes.
The Moonwatch leans more towards heritage and mechanical reliability, while the X-33 (being quartz) is clearly built as a functional tool watch.
Curious, which one would you personally choose, and why?

All I know
I have wanted to buy the x33 marstimer a few times. I kept coming back to 24m battery changes (really?) and the low water resistance.
