If you can live with the scratches that will happen daily to the Cartier, that’d get my vote, but the next size down. Otherwise I would Opt for one of the ATs for daily wear. 

·

I agree with @AllTheWatches, unless you really need the date function. Of the 3 posted though, I voted for the AT.

·

I voted for the AT small seconds because I think the small seconds dial seems to be a little more interesting than that a central second AT

·

Santos all day, but I'd go for the medium size

Great post. Think it depends how casual or otherwise your days generally are. I like the Cartier but would personally wear it with a shirt or something relatively smart. Either AT perhaps a bit more versatile in that respect. If I was outdoors a lot I'd probably want as something a bit more tooly than any of these. All great watches though

·

I voted for the Santos by mistake. It’s nice but not my choise for a daily. Sorry for messing up this survey😞 My choise would be the AT.

·

AT small seconds.  I plan to get one myself too, really a fan and they are super robust.  

·

I think the standard AT is a more versatile watch than the other two options. 

·

I have an AT and I love it. I wear it 2x more than any other watch in my collection. That said, maybe it's because I have the itch for something new, I've always lusted after the Santos and that's how I voted, in favor of the Santos.

But you can't go wrong with the AT. It's super comfortable, keeps amazing time and goes with everything. Plus, on the rubber strap, you are highly unlikely to draw attention to yourself and get robbed, which actually would worry me with the bling factor for the Santos. I guess that latter consideration depends on where you live and how safe you feel with your surroundings.

I recently bought an AT and I have to resist the urge to wear it everyday. It's so versatile and an absolute strap monster.

They all look a little big on you. Watches that are too big get uncomfortable fast. Gat a cheapie in that size to see if you can stand wearing it before those expensive ones. Big watches make the arm look small and you do not want that.

I have the Santos now, and I had an older AT. The Santos as a daily is a good choice if you don’t mind something that draws a little more attention. The shape, the bracelet…it’s by no means under the radar. If you want that, pick an AT. 
Don‘t let the possibility of scratches bother you either. It does scratch a little, and if you can’t live with them (which I cannot) a little polish and a microfiber cloth and it’s out of the box new in minutes.

·

Whenever the question is about a high-end, everyday, do everything watch, the answer is the Aqua Terra.

·

All 3 look great on you. if you can stomach the scratches, i’d say go for the Santos. if scratches do bother you, go for the Santos DLC. i wouldn’t bother with the Omega’s

my wrist size is 16cm. in between..hence 41 seems big, but then 38 seems small again. i rock a rolex sub 40mm and have always found it to be perfect
