2 TACTICS

Insights into staying off the grid and on time.

Privacy Move: Spoof Your Location with a GPS Jammer Pouch

Traveling with sensitive gear (like a smartwatch or phone)? Store it in a Faraday bag when you’re not using it. It blocks GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular tracking—keeping your movements your own.

Timekeeping Tactic: When to Manually Wind an Automatic

The NH38 movement allows for hand-winding—but here’s the trick:
Only wind it 15-20 turns max after a period of disuse. Any more is unnecessary and wears the stem faster. Wear it to keep it running, wind it to keep it honest.

3 GEAR PICKS

DEBRIEF

White dials are rare in the field watch world—and even rarer when they work this well. Some collectors swear by dark dials for visibility and tradition, but others love the clean, high-contrast look of a frost-tone face.
