For me every day is different. I'll go with the following:

GP ww.tc
Breitling Olympus
Parnis annual calendar
Eterna
Hamilton
Tudor
Alpina
IWC
Rolex GMT-II
Glycine Airman 9
Swatch Sistem 51

Less frequently, I'll wear one of these:
YG DD
TT DJ (2 of them)
Casio G-Shock (2)
Citizen Skyhawk

I have a few watches for daily wear, but thinking of buying a new one.

budget is of a mina concern as I go through daily watches often as I type a lot and work around metal shelving and swing my arms when I walk. lol

thoughts?
Just about any steel Oyster Rolex is a workhouse that can take a lot of abuse. Pick one based on the features you want and the design that you like.

Like many, I don't have a designated daily. My daily are all my watches. I don't have one special watch that I wear daily. I sometimes switch betwee3 to 4 watches within a day.

16610, how boring. Even though it's old and scratched/WABI'd I won't call it a "beater", though.

Wearing that right now on what is unmistakably a day, great choice for me at least, but with that said, I do switch around quite a lot. Wear all my watches regularly.

I own all of the above, and I usually wear the SS Daytona. Just feel like it is perfect no matter what I'm wearing.

Many good recommendations here. If you repeatedly bang your wrist into metal shelving, then I don't think even a brushed steel bracelet will hold up well. I would definitely avoid polished center links.

Part of the joy of a watch collection is selecting the watch to wear for a day or occasion. So, I can't say I have a daily watch.

Thats the best advice to go buy more watches, Must have at least 7, one for each day.

Sub-C with Date. All day, every day.

Unless of course I'm going Wakeboarding, or cycling or something like that.
...I have a G-shock for those cases.

I enjoy Rolex divers and wore a late model 5513 as a daily but I was missing a date and was constantly wrestling w crystal blemishes.

Upped to a 16600 Seadweller and love it as a daily but my sub, to me, is still a slightly more comfortable watch. I suppose a perfect daily blend would be a 16610 but I'm enjoying my pair as each offers a slightly different experience.
