I’m a mechanical engineer at a nuclear power plant. When I’m not wearing my Apple Watch, my go to is a Marathon Arctic JDD that looks almost identical to your Sinn. I like the radioactivity symbol on the dial because of where I work and I like that the day, date, and 24 hours markers will help me keep track when I have to switch over to night shift.

Pilot here, I wear my Sinn 104 every day, and my father has worn his 156 on all of his tours to Afghanistan and Iraq as Military Pilot, and still does today. Thanks for the video!

A bit of a niche tool but the Seiko Metronome deserves a mention for any musicians looking for q quick, quiet, and wearable metronome / tuner.

Im a Royal Air Force engineer that works on heavy vehicles, light vehicles, and aircraft support equipment. I wear the two tone green and gold Longines Hydroconquest L3.782.3.06.7. The colouring works well with our green uniform, it stands up to the task of daily engineering work but also turns heads in briefs and meetings.

I love the green glowing balls , but you can not beat blue balls

I love how IWC have managed to make a fly-adjustable clasp that is still small and neat. Most of them are enormous.

I’m a senior master Ford technician and I wear a Marathon Officers Mechanical everyday. It only comes off if I’m going nuts with an air hammer or sledgehammer. For my use case it is perfect. I highly recommended it.

Great video!

I have a 2001 submariner date that I’ve had it since new, I wear it everyday.
I work in the oil and gas industry as a Millwright (Industrial Mechanic).
This watch has seen it all, temps from the +40’s down to -50’s (Celsius) and it keeps going.
I don’t abuse it, I use it.
It gets a service every five years and a cleaning every once in a while when I am washing my car.
I love my watch and it will be with me until the day I die.
I really enjoy your videos, keep it up.
Cheers 😎👍

Tudor Black Bay Pro For me. I work as a chemical engineer at the industrial plant. I’m not to worried about it banged up, the GMT function helps me keep track of day light and shift work, WR is great , and I can where it confidently going to business meeting.

I’m in the automotive industry, and my daily watch is my ‘16 Rolex Milgauss. Super unique, yet subtle enough. Love it every day I wear it. The seconds hand and green tinted sapphire crystal always gets compliments.

4:10 Circula sounds like Dracula’s sister 😂

@Traditional_Sea6160 1 year ago

Just got a khaki field king as my first watch. Love the day date window and it's the same watch house wore in house MD.

@davisng2646 10 months ago

Got one for ya, Citizen Promaster Tough ecodrive BN0118-04E.

@MrKagmark 1 year ago

Longines legend diver is my fav on this whole list and could easily be an only watch in my opinion.

Special mention to the hands on the Hamilton. Love being able to see the hours through he hands

@timothyfoley3000 1 year ago (edited)

I sure do like the Circula. That dial color is the cat's nuts!

@WH250398 1 year ago

Casio GM2100. Not only functional in every way, but cool looking as well.

@MrSteveESQ 1 year ago

Good to see Circula getting a mention here.

@roubenkhosrovian 1 year ago (edited)

3:55 Damasko ds30 is in the same price category and is 4mm thinner than the circula.
Also for affordable pilotwatches, I'd start with Laco because why not? They are THE pilot watch manufacturer and their fliger pros start from 800 and with different customizations go up to only 1200.
