So I'm on the market for a daily beater so I can pair it with my YM. Criteria is: Automatic, easy to replace (I think close to USD 500), rubber strap since it's more comfortable than most steel bracelets found in this market and sports watch. I've been looking around at seikos, especially the Turtle Padi, and swatch sistem51.

I want to know what are your recommendations? What do you use a a daily beater?

Thanks!

BLNR and or Tudor chronograph

When I'm skiing or similar I use a seiko skx007 which is great, but I do find myself wanting for the Tudor

Great for your needs and amazing for the money. Can put on whatever strap you like. I got it for 215 new from trusted seller.

Citizen or gshock

c41006 · 9 April 2017, 08:28 AM

You can't beat a G-Shock as a beater.... doesn't meet your criteria though

turbineboy · 9 April 2017, 02:29 PM

The seiko samurai pictured above...... Probably the best daily wear beater for the $$$'s.

Or a Tudor.... Tough with good pedigree...

dualcarb · 9 April 2017, 02:35 PM

Another vote for the Seiko Turtle...

Seiko SRP 789.

denmanproject · 9 April 2017, 03:06 PM

007

Not my daily but is my go to when things get rough

DCheeta · 9 April 2017, 05:33 PM

Definitely can't go wrong with any of the Seikos listed above. How about a slightly different suggestion - a Magrette. They meet your criteria, and as a small independent New Zealand-based watch company you won't see many others in the wild.
