So as the title goes, what’s your daily driver? Do you have one watch specifically thant you use for your monday-friday 9-5? Or do you rotate your entire collection? If you do, why do you wear that specific one?

I’ve tried to rotate through different watches over the years, but I always go back to the same trusty SMP. I got this watch in a uncertain time in my life and I’ve hit a lot of different life goals since. That’s why this one carries a lot of sentimental value to me.

Controversial opinion, but I always liked the wave less dial more because I felt like it would be more timeless and versatile🤗

I’m in my 30s and feel contempt with being just a one watch guy 😁

I try to randomly rotate regularly. But my omega aquaterra green 41mm tends to "randomly" come up by far the most. Maybe 50-60% of the time. My oris aquis and orient kamasu make up most of the rest.

My first watch ever, the 42mm hamilton khaki field auto has largely fallen by the wayside, due to me now thinking its a bit too big. It might even be slowly eclipsed by the square, golden quartz 80s rado i inherited from my dad these days. Even tho that one is a bit weird and quartz, but it is damn comfortable.

Same watch - Try out this watch strap to make it an elegant summer watch on light strap.

OP, what wrist size are you? Trying to decide between this or the 36mm midsize.

Citizen Promaster “Unite with Blue” eco-drive on a jubilee bracelet. Such a beautiful timepiece

Beautiful watch. I wish I had a desk/ suit and tie job and was able to wear one of my nicer watches to work but as a tradesman my daily has to be a tad bit rugged and “disposable” so I daily the Casio 2100 from the metal utility series

For 5 years (300+ days a year) it was a Rosegold Oysterflex Rolex Yachtmaster 116655. I picked up a carbotech PAM661 on vacation in Austria in August 2022 and fell in love with it - I loved how light it was, crazy comfortable and wore flat, had great presence, quality was off the charts and I just couldn’t take it off for about a year, and wore it almost exclusively. In Sept of this year, I went down a high end titanium Casio MR-G rat hole - and now I’ve been wearing (5 out of 7 days a week) one of these….

That exact same one, but with the NTTD NATO

Best daily. The chrono comes in handy (timing the 10-15 mins at the Chinese spot). Also it’s not flashy so a great travel watch.

Not my photo but the Hamilton Jazzmaster Performer. I got it earlier this year. Wear it to work everyday ever since.

My Hamilton khaki has been my daily for a few years now! I rotate through my collection but this is my most versatile and personal favorite.

Seiko Alpinist SPB121 on an Uncle Seiko bracelet. Not as fancy as the rest of you guys but as a college student who travels frequently it does everything I need :)
