Thread: What (dive)watch do you use as a daily beater?

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    I guess it'd be my Doxa 1000T. The Black Bay gets a lot of wear, but I take care of it a bit more - because of it's provenance as my 'wedding watch'.

    Well, I have a boring desk job so I don't wear my beaters everyday to the office. But on weekends, when working around the house or doing sports, this is what I currently wear:

    Seiko, solar, chrono, timing bezel, comfortable size = perfect.



    Built like a tank



    I used to own this one, but this week I bought another one. No timing bezel but it does have a screw down crown and is WR 200m.

    Easy - Invicta ProDiver 9937OB (with ETA 2824 motor and twin sapphire crystals). This was my daily wear all of 2006-2008 and has been in rotation ever since. It gets by far the fewest "Likes" in the WRUW threads!

    I've been using the Sumo as my daily diver for the last little while. Sadly its the only watch with a bracelet that I currently have

    ..but on the other hand, this wjean president bracelet is really really nice. I love it, light years ahead of the stock bracelet.

    Like Jraul7, I don't have a "daily" beater as I usually change watch daily, but I do have a beater watch that I use when ever a beater is needed. It's the only watch I wear without too much care, and I enjoy it! It was honestly very hard for me to find such a watch. A few affordable in my collection were originally bought to be beaters and I simply couldn't beat them, so I just started wearing them in my rotation : )

    Not really a "beater", but I wear it 7 days a week.
