Vaer
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I wear it to sleep along with a rotation of Berny and Vaer small watches..SWC has awesome lume!
- Not sure about the brand, but VAER has a 36mm that seems to meet all your requirements
- 1. field watch (Hamilton, vaer, Seiko, marathon, bertucci)
- I have two Vaers. They’re my “beater” watches but they’re really nice. Sapphire crystal, 100 meter water resistance with screw down crown. Fit and finish is great.
- VAER will have sapphire glass, more water resistance, and much better bracelets at price, however this one is quartz. ... I'm going with VAER here seems like a better value.
Cons
- Hamilton Khaki Field [Ti] Automatic is probably what I have considered most, with Vaer and Kuoe alternatives in that mix, but I haven't entirely fallen for any of them yet.

Vaer is a fantasia US based micro brand. Their designs are great.
Parent context: VAER would be my choice, sapphire crystal, screw down crown and much better finishing. Reply: Second this. I have one of their divers with the Japanese solar quartz movement. It's one helluva watch for $250.

imo vaer feels better built than timex and has a screw down crown, and doesn’t tick absurdly loudly which many timex models do.
