What type of watch are you looking for? Each one is different than the other. Are you looking for a watch to track time in multiple time zones? Do you want a watch with or with out a date?

In that case, GMT. You can track 3 time zones with a GMT. Very handy if you party so hard you lose a few hours.

All three are great, you won't get much from a thread like this but random people's opinions. I like the DJII because I think it does the best at dressing up and dressing down.

Wow.

This is the third thread of this X Vs. Y or Z watch you've started.

Answers will be the same...get the watch you like wearing on your wrist.

Which watch do you like best / why?

Doesn't much matter what we think--get what you like!! Try them all on and make a decision. All are nice so I am sure you will make the right decision regardless.

You don't have to respond if you don't like? Not sure why you are trying to start some sort of problem over here. I am just like you a watch nut who is confused and seeking some opinions. Not saying someones opinion will sway my final decision but the question was meant for people who want to share there opinions and knowledge that have tried all three of the watches i have mentioned because im a noob! But, i appreciate your response as well thank you for it.

Hmmm depends on your lifestyle...

If you travel a lot or need the date feature on a daily basis I saw the GMT IIC

If you do not travel or use a date on a watch GV!!!

I'm actually trying to help.

Just asking which watch when these watches are not cheap is a tad silly IMO.

Some details about your thought process can help. Otherwise you just get people chiming in with the name of a watch.

This forum is a great place to get help thinking through pros and cons, with "thinking" being the operative word.

Clearly you are not comfy buying what hits your gut...so perhaps you need to be more analytical?
