There’s no need to get complicated when it comes to durability, and
Momentum stays frugal with its
Cobalt V Special Edition watch. You’ve got big, clean numbers with superluminova for easy reading through the mud flecks and not much else in the way of tech, which makes the 5-year battery life unsurprising. As for beating this thing up, give it a whirl. The sapphire crystal face is nearly scratchproof, and the titanium case with a vacuum-ion plated finish is tough. The coating itself tends to scratch off if you’re banging it around outdoors, but the titanium underneath won’t damage. Best of all, the ultra-white rubber strap is more than just stylish-—it’s practically stainproof. Post mud crawl, it’ll still be shining like new. ($295;
