Heritor Marshall
An emergency management professional from Tennessee, photographed on white sand with a tablet in hand with ATAK on the screen and ATAK on the screen. He is on vacation, and he is also hosting an end user class on ATAK later in the month, so the beach time is doubling as prep time, walking the functions he will be teaching. On the wrist, a Heritor Marshall in white on a striped nylon strap, about as far from a screen as a timekeeping instrument gets, which is rather the point of carrying both.

Heritor Marshall
Heritor sells mechanical watches at prices where most of the market has long since gone quartz, and the Marshall is its dive-style automatic: unidirectional bezel, lumed markers, an exhibition caseback showing the rotor. The point of a watch like this is access. It is a real automatic, with a real sweep and a real bezel, at a cost that makes it wearable anywhere without a second thought.
The pairing in this photo is the interesting part. ATAK runs on an end user device, and an EUD is a battery with a map on it. Everything it does is astonishing and all of it stops when the charge does. The watch on the wrist next to it needs nothing, knows nothing, and keeps running. Emergency management is the field that plans for exactly that failure mode, which makes an analog watch beside an EUD less a style choice than a redundancy diagram you can wear.
