This article fails to mention that watches were a lot smaller compared to the gigantic pieces of jewelry that dominate the 'military-themed' watches of today, and avoids many of the problems that people have mentioned. Here's an example of an issued 'military watch' from from 1956: https://thewatchspotblog.com/bulova-mil-w-3818a-bulova-cal-10bnch/ https://thewatchspotblog.com/bulova-mil-w-3818a-bulova-cal-1... It's only 32mm in diameter, compared to the advertised Smith and Bradley 'designed to be worn inside' which is 42mm, or the 'standard' size Garmin Fenix which 47mm. Many modern G-Shocks are larger still.
