I absolutely love my VC OS, but I like many of the others you posted, especially the APRO, GP and Zenith.

So we’re talking non-diver, non-chronograph? Hmm, I’m going to have to think on this. Instinctively, I’d say Royal Oak, but my favorite Royal Oak is the chronograph. Maybe the Rolex OP39 or Explorer edges out the AP for me. Do GMTs count in the sports watch category, or are we strictly talking no bezels?

I'm lucky enough to own my two favorite SS sports watches, in the exact versions I wanted.
If you're not including divers and chronos I would throw in a vote for the OP I sold recently
Lovely and balanced with no date window, built like a tank and perhaps the ideal "only watch" as it fits into most situations.
Oh, and that dial really, really stands out!
G-Shock: GW3000B-1A
Rolex: Submariner 14060M
Accurist: 1961 Shockmaster (Gold) & 1965 Shockmaster (Steel)
Omega: Speedmaster Professional 3570.50.00
Meistersinger: Perigraph AM1002
Ben Sherman: S489.OOBS
Rotary: 1990 Quartz (Gold)
Steinhart: Ocean GMT 39mm
Certina: DS Super PH500M & DS PH200M
Timex: MKI Mechanical

What is your favorite "Stainless steel sports watch"?
Bar none the one I’ve praise since I bought it. Polar white Explorer II. If you ever see mine in person, you can tell it actually been used as intended ( and I know several others who have one that the same can be said). This is a real tool sport watch where most others are pretenders.
Now if your willing to accept a bit less usability, but a lot more looks this is my choice. The Moser Funky Blue Black. Moser sent one on a world tour kind of like the Bob watch. It’s holding up well nearly a year into the tour. Proof it’s not just a looker, but a watch that can take abuse.

If I wanted a stainless steel watch for sport, I’d buy something like a Seiko or Certina, probably quartz.
If I wanted a luxury watch with decent water resistance, then Rolex would be at the top of the list with the Explorer and Oyster Professional. I’d also consider the JLC Polaris and the IWC Ingenieur.
I don’t dislike the Genta/angular type, but they have their feet firmly planted in the 1970s, and that’s my least favourite decade for style. For the long haul, I prefer round watches.
