What are your summer watches?
Today it is unseasonably warm here and it feels like spring is finally here. This warm weather has got me badly itching for a new summer watch. What are your summer go-tos?
Edit: to be clear, a summer watch is not strictly seasonal, just what you enjoy wearing in the summer.

My summer watches are the same as my winter watches
Just got one perfect for summer!
I don't own any seasonal watches
Scurfa D1 Titanium was supposed to be a summer watch, then I never took it off
Farr and Swit Vice 2.0 Bubblegum gets a lot of summer lovin
These two seem to come out a lot during summer
From what I gather a summer watch is bright and represents the general mood of summer ☀️ Sun, fun and outdoor activities.
Love that Thurso! 🤩 Maybe I’ll get a new summer watch. I’ve looked in my box and it all looks so fall and wintry ! 🥶
Maybe this Farer counts ?

Yep, I’d say so!
Definitely go with the Fortis. It’s built like a tank and looks great.
Love that that Farer is day date. So handy yet so underused.
Not sure if I have any dedicated ones. I would like to get a yellow watch. Finding the right one can be a bit tricky. For now I have a lot straps. And I like to use my rainbow NATO and bright yellow tropic straps on my beater Vostok.
I feel like the difference between a summer watch and any other watch is just a a strap change. That said, the thicker watches do come out a bit more in the summer because no jacket cuffs.
For me my go to is my Vostok Apmpibia. Looks and runs great, and it will never break.
Of my collection I view my Mido Oceanstar Tribute as the watch that most suits summer/holidays.
It came with a rubber strap for the day and a mesh bracelet for the evening both with quick change spring bars.
Nearest I have to a summer watch is a sundial. 😉
A diver and a dressier piece, however the leather nato on the seiko really makes it more casual. Love the Thurso, been thinking about picking one up myself at some point :D
For non-aquatic events:
My summer watch is a green Bulova Oceanographer. It's just a perfect combination of everything you would want in a summer watch: comfort, pop of color, retro inspired design, certified diver, great bezel action, nice lume. No better summer watch out there than the Oceanographer.
Love going to the beach during summer so... 😉

Wow, my wife and I have the same combination. 👍
Actually, I do not have a "summer" watch, defined as a watch only worn in summer. 😉
Cheap, light, fun
Yellow strap ready for summer.
