Need a waterproof clock for dash on open station

[JCoastie]

I'm looking for a clock for the dash on my open station tractor.
I checked out amazon, and other than the little quarter size stick on clocks I'm not finding much. I'd go with those if they were a little bigger so I could read them.
Ideally it strikes a balance of thin enough not to look ridiculous but large enough to see at a glance.
Anyone have a good solution they've actually used?

Wrist watch works well
Or, a pocket watch

how about a bathroom/shower clock

Amazon.com : waterproof digital clock

I have an old Casio wrist watch that i took the bands off and just tywrapped it to the side fender handle.

I have a wrist watch with a velcro strap wrapped around the handhold of the Kubota. Had it the same place on the JDs.

I might have a wrist watch from a couple decades ago in a drawer somewhere, might give that a try.

Try “marine clock” 52mm. That should get you marine rated 2-1/16-inch clocks, on just about any of the online vendor sites, or search engines.

if I was looking for anything to mount on my open cab, I’d put marine in the search, or IP66. Marine results in IPX5 or better water-resistance.

IP is Intrusion Prevention, the first number is resistance to solids, and the second number is water resistance. #5 survives a 1/4-inch jet of water from any direction with out damage. #6 a half inch jet of water.

An IP66 rating means is dustproof, and survives the 1/2 inch terms of water from any direction.

This page gives a good breakdown of what the different ratings mean: https://www.dsmt.com/resources/ip-rating-chart/.

I just check my wrist watch. However - if I wanted one - Jigs_n_fixtures makes an excellent recommendation. Go with a "marine clock".

Ive used autometer gauges drill hole sits in flush and nice OR use one of their gauge pods. Summit racing or jegs has a nice assortment

Check into some ATV or off road sites. I put a Trail Tech clock/volt meter on my Max 26XL. Trail Tech has much more to offer but a simple clock was all I was looking for also. Mine has held up well so far. Illuminates with a push of a button also. Kind of small but serves the purpose.

Stuck a well worn G-shock wrist watch on dash with double sided tape. Solar plus battery. Satellite updates for time. Going on 15 years.

All the cheapo clocks I've purchased on amazon keep failing for one reason or another. Cell phones are water resistant, a ram mount with a cell phone holder works.

Not sure why anyone would want a clock on a tractor in the first place. Whatever.

Clocks on motorcycles are waterproof and vibration resistant, but pricey, especially Harley ones.

Must be shakeproof........After all Hardleys are called Milwaukee shakers.

Been my experience (from visiting the local Hardley shop that everything Hardley is expensive (and a lot of it is imported Chineseum) too.

Still escapes me why anyone would want a clock in the dash of any tractor when all one has to do is look at their wristwatch. Speaking of that I have a nice Timex Expedition Solar that keeps excellent time requires no batteries ever and only set me back 40 bucks at Wallyworld.

Interestingly, the in cab electronic controller for my round baler has a clock built in to it that I hardly ever look at anyway.

Do you know what the HD in Harley Davidson stands for?
(a Hundred Dollars)

Sun dial... No batteries required and waterproof. Only works during the day though.

Game Changer lol it's the simple things!

$17 on Amazon, plenty big enough to see easily from the seat. Just punched out the pins for the band, and used some outdoor style self adhesive velcro (all plastic hook type, no fuzzy loop)
