Can someone recommend a good outdoor type watch? Preferably something mechanical with a little class.

Mechanical doesn't do well outdoors, unless you're willing to pay $$$ up front and ongoing for maintenance. How badly do you need "class?"
I would urge you to go quartz analogue, if you really want to look. Timex, Casio, or similar.

Casio F91W.
Mechanical uses up more battery and is more prone to failure. There is a reason everyone uses the f91, its not the cost.

I have had this watch for almost ten years now. I used it every day when I was a conscript, and still use it every day. It has held up nicely. The only issue is that I had to change the batteries two times and the lock on the watch strap once.

Perfect /out/ watch if you want analogue, and not a digital toy looking watch like the Casio's.

Forget class and get a Casio Pathfinder. Guess it's a good thing I bought mine (for $150) a couple years ago, because they seem to be out of production.

Get something similar. Make sure it has an altimeter and barometer at the very least. Digital compass is nice, but near useless for real topo map navigation. Temps on every watch ever are roughly accurate but imprecise, possibly due to body heat interference.

lorus, timex or something similar. you don't want your /out/ watch to be very expensive. its going to get beat up.
if you don't care about looks. obviously any f91-like casio, any g-shock-like casio, or any g-shock is ideal.

Hey dude, Watch collector, military officer and back country pilot. Get a Seiko Turtle or SKX007 with the rubber strap. They're nice, robust, waterproof and good looking. If you want a field watch, a Hamilton Khaki with the hand wound movement is nice. If you have about a grand to spend, I love my Doxa Sub 200 professional. It's on the beads of rice but I have a rubber strap for it too. I've used it for scuba in the Med. Preformed flawlessly.

Hey I wear that on a nato strap when I go on hikes. Just got to be careful if you're up against rocks etc. so it doesn't get scratched.

I have wrecked my Victorinox INOX automatic twice while outdoors and it is marketed as a tough watch. Fortunately it was all covered under warranty but i will never wear it outside again.

the only watches you can do this with are watches like gshocks/casios, or dive watches. if you're not a fan of dive watches the most normal looking casio is the ga-2100 / ga-b2100. it comes in a zillion different colors and then even more japan only colors. you can get kits from chinks to convert them to metal or metal+silicone but i'm not a fan of it because it becomes dangerously close to becoming a knockoff of a $50k watch.

also the only watches you can wear and never take off are all bulky because they need to be waterproof and/or shockproof. if you are a wristlet + man they make women's versions of a lot of dive watches that aren't styled any different just scaled down. avoid the ones with any alteration to the styling. only extreme watch spergs will know its a women's watch. it looks less goofy than wearing a sun dial.
if you're not a wristlet, just a general advice post for wristlets seeking /out/ watches i suppose.

Not strictly true, fren.
If you want a watch to strap on and forget about without the need to wind it, adjust it, or change the batteries, then you want a solar-powered quartz watch. There are quite a few out there that are small enough for wristlets. The picture above is a men's, 200m waterproof, solar-powered quartz watch that is only 38.5mm in diameter and is specifically made for wristlets. It comes in many colours.
For solar-powered quartz watches, you pretty much want to be looking at something from Seiko, Citizen, or Casio. That's about it.
What type of watch do you want? Field watch? Dive watch? Chronograph?
