A field watch is type of watch that is designed for rugged, outdoor use, and places a premium on simple utilitarian dials, with a minimum of complication. Field watches were valued for their usefulness on hikes and military maneuvers. Many examples of this watch type can trade their heritage back to military roots.

Today, field watches span the entirety of the watch market. With simple dial and case designs at their core, field watches are a subset of tool watches that can attract inexpensive manufacturers into the market. In the middle of the watch market, more expensive entries appeal to traditionalists with mechanical movements and rugged designs that could survive in harsher environments. Finally, upscale entries from companies like Rolex build upon a long heritage of private expeditions by the world's greatest mountain climbers and explorers.
