What watch types do you gravitate towards?

Wrist

Being a forecaster, I'm partial to weather watches... 

I'm also a fan of tool watches, or at least GAGA watches. 

Much of my work is done in the office these days, but on occasion I get to head out into the field and do a bit of work with tools, and instruments. 

Sometimes being in the "field" isn't so bad... 

very good, didn't see that coming

I think I have a good mix of watch “types”. 

I like my watches old & Japanese 

Small watches are a guilty pleasure where you can hardly know its there.

A P01 sighting!

Strong preference for tool and dive for me - I fear I'll destroy anything that's not built for a beating!

Also toolwatches, mostly divers. But i also have one dresspiece which gets barley worn... a nomos orion white with display caseback. Will probably get rid of it and get another toolwatch which gets more wristtime than the nomos.

Originally, field watches and pilot's watches. But I warmed also to dress watches and sports watches with nicely readable dials and arabic numerals. Preferably no subdials, no marked bezels.

Day/date functions are optional.

I have/get other watches too, but these are the focal point of the collection.

Very much the same as you , tool watch's and simple clean design. Tough and durable can be very stylish.

I try to have variety in my collection, but a minimum 100m WR is a must for me. Otherwise I’ll try for as varied as possible. 

I think my handle says it all...

Aesthetic wise: the minimalist and engineer in me wanted more of a tool watch aesthetic (time, date, maybe gmt) 

Movement wise: For an accuracy snob and a fellow engineer, I would say I gravitate towards novel movements or movements that pushes horological boundaries (like spring drive, remontoir d'egalite, resonance, tourbillion, etc)

Generally toolish.  Legibility is key, lume is important, scratch resistance -  or at least scratch tolerance (brushed finish) - is very desirable.  I think we have a lot of overlap in our tastes.  I need a Muhle Rescue Timer for example!  I gravitate toward bracelets.  I think you’re better at keeping you collection lean: if an item falls from favor, you move it along; I’m still working on that.😕  That turtle: is that a mod bezel?  Looks fantastic!

i am more into the sporty type of watches but i will say my favorite brand by far is OMEGA.

The stormtrooper!!!!

Nice combo of the MG and P01 on Isofrane, OP!

In general, the same as you Peter. I think my srp777 and Seiko tuna homages get the most wear

I like robust watches that have good water resistance and good case materials. As I'm a physician who washes my hands 100 times a day and uses alcohol scrub 1000 times. 🤣 Not to mention being splashed by urine or blood occasionally. So my watches need to be able to handle that 🤣 Top daily beaters are Victorinox INOX Carbon Mechanical and Stowa Flieger Classic 

nice 👌

Ive had many Omega's over the years and I have to agree with you..outstanding, in fact I am wearing my Railmaster as I type this 🔥

Watches worn in movies ✔

Divers mainly 

Depends of the day of the week - and the time of day😉👍 Well, anything chrono is a great start - but also super comfy app 36mm three handers, like Stowa and others

haha! Well played!!! 

Very much chronographs, as I generally like the look, and I actually do use the functions in my daily work. And then I just love the "snap" when activating the chrono....😀 

Putting the Speedmaster Professionnal aside, my inclination is for time-only, COSC certified, sub 40 mm, round bezel steel non-dress watches, with at least 100 m of depth rating (just for peace of mind, I'm no diver by any stretch)

Recently picked-up the 39 mm Formex Essence and it proves to be a very good daily driver.

I have one thing with screw-down crowns : either the threading is Rolex smooth, or I would rather  have a push-pull one.

That's one of my few gripes with the Sinn 556 : if you don't catch the thread at exactly the right spot, it quickly gets fiddly. Also why I sold my Seiko SKX009 years ago

When I first started I was all over the place. I had a few Casios and over size watches. As time moved on I like variety all kinds of movements. more into the military field watches because they small size perfect for my wrist. That hardest part keeping a respectable limited collection.
