The 11 Best Modern Military-Inspired Watches

Whether you fancy a pilot’s chronograph, a hardy dive watch or a practical field watch, there’s a military-inspired timepiece out there for you. The best part? Many of these designs sell for well under $2,000, and some of them for under $1,000. You can certainly spend more money if you’d like a more complicated or original design, but the beautiful thing about these modern tool watches is that they’re largely meant to be used as tools — i.e., to be banged up and abused!

Check out this assortment of compelling models, and be sure to read up on their vintage inspirations in this guide.

“Quiet Travel” Is the Latest Vacation Trend for Serenity Seekers

Horns honking, music blaring, drones buzzing above, TikTok videos on high volume, people shouting — the world is loud. While it’s nice to imagine being able to tune out the chaos of daily life, that’s nearly impossible when you’re in the thick of it. By breakfast, many of us have already consumed multiple news sources and a boatload of caffeine. Some of the most popular travel destinations don’t deliver much of a reprieve either. Busy cities and crowded peak-season tourism meccas aren’t known for quietude.

That’s why a growing segment of travelers are opting for peace over packed itineraries and careening toward “quiet travel” for solitude away from the hustle and bustle.

The Best Heavyweight T-Shirts, From Weighty to Downright Hulking

“Heavyweight” and “T-shirt” are two terms you wouldn’t typically associate with each other. The idea is to keep it light and cool, right? But given the current transitional weather, you actually don’t necessarily want something flimsy for a 40-to-60-to-40-degree day. Headed into spring, it’s better to have a hefty, stiff tee that’s gonna stave off some of that seasonal chill. And so that’s where the best heavyweight T-shirts for men come in.
