Beater all the way for most anything physical work related
Absolutely, usually a field watch of some kind, I like my Khaki for most fall work.
I don’t see the need to baby watches so much. If the manufacturer puts 100m WR on it, I swim with it. Unless I know for a fact I’m going to bang my wrists against hard surfaces, I wear it. Cleaning the house, cutting grass, drywall work? Yeah, I wear what I want.
I have a selection of beaters that I use for any work, so I don’t really have a need to wear my ‘nice’ watches. All of these beaters bear some gruesome scars that I wouldn’t want on certain watches.
I wouldn’t wear my best shoes to dig up spuds 👍
Either no watch or usually a G-Shock
My go to.
I live in the city. I don't have a yard. But a Grand Seiko is my daily wear almost-beater, and I'll wear that for all but the heaviest of housework. It's been through a lot. And I've learned, Spring Drive can take a lot. The one time I won't wear it is while riding bike. It's not that it can't take it, but I've had a G-Shock meet the pavement, and it (and my arm) was a bit the worse for wear, so I won't risk that for any mechanical watch.
Awesome picture of an awesome watch from an awesome brand haha
My beaters are bb58 and g-shock. I use the bb58 when i need to time things with the bezel ;) i need to work out more so that i can wear that FXD haha
I wear the Fxd for everything from chopping wood to shooting.
