The ultimate mens Sports watch
What is the watch that clicks all the boxes for you ,as a men and sports enthusiasts. A watch for a suit as well as any outdoor adventure. Beautiful, resistant and iconic.
For me this is the king , followed by the blue skydweller. |

Anything with a polished bracelet would prevent me from doing any form of adventure or activity.
The black Sub is the king of “beach to board room” for me. |

Black sub. I find legibility an issue with daytonas and prefer brushed links on a sports watch

I don't own one, but I would imagine a Sub would tick those boxes. For as much as I would like to say a daytona, the PCL would prevent me from doing any crazy activities.

Agree that the Sub Date or Sub are the king of the tool watches with the size, legibility, full brushed bracelet, and iconic look.

Not sure. I own and have owned so many I really don't have a special feeling about any of them. Different than when I owned my my first SS Submariner. I was beside myself with that one.

If only one watch the all rounder for sports, on the beach, in the office and dress has to be the black Submariner and for me Submariner with date.

I agree with the posters above me the Sub is the ultimate “sporty” Rolex. Daytona is great as well but more delicate. Explorer and gmt should also make the list if we are ranking sportyness. I have to disagree though the skydweller doesn’t really fit into the category. It is a dress watch with some sporty vibes because of its size. Rolex calls it a “classic” watch rather than a sports reference. Luxury or dressy sports is a category of its own and maybe more appropriate for the skyd.

The Sub for me ,strangely enough, is often too much Rolex. Everyone notices it , every second one has one. It is by far the most recognizable watch i wear.
I like my sub, but I by far prefer my Daytona which - at least in my area- only watch geeks recognize. And it fits my suits far better than my sub. Have to say tough the blue sky is a very close second. Perfect with a suit, a little less sporty, but a favorite of the ladies ;) Here some photos to spice up the thread... The blue sky The Daytona |

I would suggest any of the Submariners or Explorers as the ultimate sports watch. I would never pick a Daytona. Unless you need the chronograph function what else does it offer as a sports watch. The same can be said for the Skydweller with its annual calendar. Both beautiful watches, to be sure, but not my firsts picks as rugged utility sports watches.
