Which watch to choose for One Watch Challenge
I'm thinking of participating in #1WC and, as you know, it will starts on May 21st. So we have only a week to choose the candidate.
I would like your opinion on which watch I should wear during the competition. Please also comment if you are going to participate so that I can evaluate if your suggestion is really a good one or a trap. :-D

Not participating but choosing A since mine is coming in tomorrow and the other watches are dressier and perhaps more delicate. Not sure what you’ll be doing over the next month.
Seems I have inadvertently started my one watch challenge since April 19th I have not had a different watch on my wrist since it arrived, put on a grey parachute strap I love it, I doubt I will be entering as I just cant be bothered to post a different pic everyday and follow rules but for me wearing the same watch for nearly a month is un heard of.
I vote for the 1963!!
Your other Seagull is also quite elegant, but its design is a little less neutral in my eyes. The 1963 is really a well-balanced piece that can work with any outfit.
- It's good enough for any situation that demands business dress. Fashion norms have changed and all analogue watches are considered fancy nowadays. If, god forbid, someone important asks about the brand, I hope they would be impressed by your frugality.
- Actually, I think the 1963 makes a great dress watch. On black leather it resembles the Bambino. The only question is what strap material will best balance your formalwear vs. water exposure needs. (I live in a cold desert so I default towards the former)
- Playing with the chronograph will keep you entertained during the challenge. This is necessary.
If it breaks during the 60 days then you can be proud and know that it died with honour.

Nice watch! I really liked it. It seems to be robust and a beater candidate for all days. 😎

Wow! What a greate advice! 👍
I'll take your advice as an extra point when choosing. Let's see which crunchies will vote this week. In this moment the 1963 is only in 3rd. 😀
Thank you for your words! 😊
I don't plan on participating, although if I did, it would probably be with my G-Shock DW-5600. I'd choose it because it's lightweight, comfortable, and I can take it anywhere without worrying about it. I voted for the World Time because it looks like the most capable of the 4 as a GADA. If not for the poor water resistance, the Seagull would also be a solid choice!
I plan on participating. I voted for the Seiko. It’s a trap.

Now we have a paranoid dillema...
Seiko is the good one and you told me that it's a trap to make me don't choose it, or
Seiko is the bad one and you voted it to make I have trouble wearing it? 😂

I accidentally voted because I wanted to see a photo and all it showed was an exclamation mark.
In general: is there a way to change my decision?

Thank you for your answer!
Sorry to say but I can't see the number of votes or 'change vote' - maybe because I use the WatchCrunch app?
I will participate on the next one maybe depending on how I’m looking.
