I have a couple of what could be termed as "beaters" (I don't particularly like that word) that I enjoy rotating, I consciously try to look after all my watches.


Seiko Spork.



Frogman







Giez







Protrek



They won't be to everyones taste but I enjoy wearing them, and because of my job, it keeps my more expensive watch safer from accident and scratches, and in a way, more "special"

I wear my 14060m everyday. I got the thing to wear not to admire! I'm totally not OCD about my nd sub and it takes dings and bumps with no issues, still looks pristine!

I use a G-shock for really bad situations. I used to have a Quartz Seamaster blue bond on a NATO for yard work, gym, ect. but I recently sold it to help fund another Rolex.

This is mine. I just received my Charmex CX 20000 watch. This is one watch with which I am not worried about scratches or pounding or anything else. My wrist will break before the watch does. A true beater for me!

Probably my 16750. Its the perfect balance for me, having a vintage look but still being relatively modern.

I wear my GMTIIC just about all the time and it does get banged up on occasion. But my beater watch is a G Shock.

I don't really have a beater. Well, I have a Seiko Diver 150, which I purchased almost 30 years ago, but have not worn it in about 25 years. I'm looking for a metal band for it, similar to the Rolex oyster. A little leary about going on fleabay for things like that. Actually, the fear comes from never buying anything of late from ebay. Maybe I'll give it a shot. I do love the watch. And I hate wearing my good watch fishing all the time.

I spend most of the time wearing my Sub or my Bretiling Chronomat at work. When I think to change it to go to play hockey or somewhere else I will be taking it off or when I work on the car (wash, change wheels etc), I change over to my Tag Heuer Kirium F1. Ironically, 6 weeks after I got the Kirium F1 in 2001, it was stolen out of my locker at the gym. Fortunately, I used my VISA with the purchase protection which is valid for 90 days after the original purchase date so I received a replacement (albeit almost 5 months later).
