What is you favorite watch style?
I wish I had more options for poll answers but given the max is 4, these are the ones. Also, what is your favorite watch for each of the styles? 👇

I don’t have a favourite watch style. I don’t even have a favourite watch.
Dress - Tank Cintrée
Diver - Submariner
Pilot/Field - Explorer
Etc. - Panomatic Lunar
Divers are my favorite, though I'm working on branching out more. The iconic rotating timing bezel is the most useful complication for my day to day needs.
My favorite watch from this category is my Seiko LX SNR045. It's a contemporary interpretation of the classic 1968 saturation diver made with modern materials and powered by Seiko's innovative spring drive movement. It represents the pinnacle of the Prospex line up. It's so good that at this time I'm unsure if I'll ever add another dive watch to my collection. It would have to be something pretty special.
I do try/am trying to collect watches across all the categories:
Sport/everyday
Dive
Drive
Dress
Field
Flight
I‘m pretty heavy on the sport and field categories though.
hmmmm
Normal watches, now called dress watches thanks to the scourge of casual dress.
Really, is it right to call the others "styles" when style is such a lesser concern? They are types, not styles.
Fart. I'd like to say with certainly I like this style over the others but I just go wirh whatever catches my eye and keeps the heart captive.
So...E) a GADA/beater watch?
Dive watches are my favourites, which is probably why I have 5 of them. I’m just picking my favourites from my collection as it would take too long to pick my favourite of all the watches out there.
Dress: 125th Anniversary Certina DS 80 Powermatic
Dive: Clemence Watches Photic Diver
Field: Titanium Hamilton Khaki Automatic
Drive: Tissot PRC200
All :)
I miss cast my vote for field style. It should have gone for Tool watch. Though I guess you can get tooly field/pilot watch's. Pilot/field would be a close econd place.
