This Certina DS Podium Automatic that I got for Christmas in 2007 when I was 16. It was out of use for a couple of years back, but I got it serviced and running two years ago and it has stayed on my arm more or less every day since. I got nicer and more expensive watches, but this one certainly does the job as well.

Apple Watch. I sold all my watches about a year ago for money that I needed at the time. I’ve just ordered myself an orient sun and moon again to arrive within the next week.
Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic 42mm on a Barton Elite silicone band.
Goes with pretty much everything and looks great.
For the daily wear, this will handle more than I can. I think it even needs a few scratches.
I don’t have one. I have 3 watches i rotate.
G-shock Casioak
Seamaster 300. It’s indestructible.
Seiko Lord Marvel 1960’s . LOVE this thing.
Omega Aqua Terra Annual Calendar
Same. What strap are you using?
Orient kano. Had it for about 3 years and it’s beat as all hell lol.
Longines Conquest Automatic 39mm
I dunno about beater, but for everyday in the office or out and about this on the wrist. When I’m working around the house or swimming the Armitron is there, but that is to be replaced!
Ga2100
Victorinox Dive Master 500 LE in back PVD-coated titanium.
Rolex 5513
Timex Expedition. I have to wear a quartz and it gets near up pretty bad throughout the day.
Sinn 556 I RS
A lot more r/chinesewatches regulars on here than I would've expected
Casio 158w
This is the one watch I wear daily for my college and work it is almost a pretty watch good go to for a budget one
Tissot T-Sport Chrono XL
Still in love with this dial
5kx 38mm on a unclestraps jubilee
Doxa 300T. Tough, easily serviceable movement, objectively cool watch with history rivaling even more expensive watches, and I can pretend to be a shipwreck hunter. Plus it's the watch I've wanted since reading the Dirk Pitt novels as a teen.
Deep Blue Master 1000 with orange hydro 91 rubber strap. Makes me happy every time I look at it!
Citizen CA0450-57A Eco-Drive JDM This thing can go casual, sporty, formal and all around versatile af.
I have a few seiko automatic divers for daily beaters
Most common are the tunas and prospex
Love their weight and girth
I think of my Rolex GMT-Master II more of a "daily driver" than a "daily beater."
For situations where I know I'm gonna get dirty and rough things up (rock climbing, garage work, etc), I have other less expensive watches that are easier to replace if something unfortunate should happen.
I wear the GMT whether I'm on the subway, at the desk, or even if dressing up in a suit. I sort of cringe when people pipe up "but you should wear something time-only on leather" because I think the Rolex steel look can satisfy elegance and luxury just fine on its own.
Hope you love your daily as much as I love mine!
My trusty SRPE53. A gift from my wife for our one year of marriage.
