Here's Why You Should Own a Go Anywhere, Do Anything Watch (feat. Zodiac Watches)

About this video

McGoff explores the concept of the “go anywhere do anything” watch and argues that dive watches are ideal for this purpose due to their durability and versatility. He uses the Zodiac Super Seawolf reference 691 as an example, detailing why he believes watches gain sentimental value through regular wear and how mechanical timepieces offer a meaningful alternative to digital devices in modern life.

Key takeaways

• McGoff argues that watches become more meaningful and emotionally significant the more you wear them, accumulating memories and sentiment over time
• McGoff recommends dive watches as the most practical “go anywhere do anything” option because they are durable, water-resistant, and don’t require special care when exposed to elements
• McGoff values mechanical watches for their tangible connection to daily life—particularly hand-wound movements that require deliberate winding as a ritual—as a counterbalance to increasingly digital living
• McGoff emphasizes that watch proportions matter significantly, especially for those with smaller wrists; the 36mm case size and 12mm thickness of this model exemplify his preference for understated, wearable designs
