If someone were considering becoming a one watch person, do you think a SkyDweller would be a good choice?

If not....what?

WAK4 · 31 August 2018, 01:12 PM

No... For me, a one and only would be a dive watch. As much as I enjoy the SkyD, it is a wear to the office watch, and something else goes on my wrist after hours

tseiff · 31 August 2018, 01:13 PM

Diver for the one and only ...
And to explain why sky dweller can get old if you wear it everyday. For the daily one need something simple solid straightforward

The Argonaut · 31 August 2018, 01:15 PM

Yes. Right now, and for a while, I'll be a one watch guy: a 1675 GMT. The Sky D would be a first class choice. All watches are designed to be worn as the "one watch." I used to wear a Reverso as my one watch, and that's rather dressy.

tseiff · 31 August 2018, 01:25 PM

Love the reverso —- SkyD (which I really like btw) is just too busy for an everyday

There is only one requirement for a one and only watch. You can’t own any others. Other than that there are no rules. A SkyD would do the job just fine!

I think a Skydweller would be a spectacular choice for a one-only watch. Two time zones, annual calendar, months and days, 330 feet under water (I dive). I would go with SS white Dial, otherwise it is a blingapotimus.

Tied for first is the DSSD 2nd Generation (126660) Blue for sheer legibility and toughness (my daily).

Second, BLRO in WG. Tied for third,, 42mm Explorer II Polar and SD 43.

Investr · 31 August 2018, 01:43 PM

I’m voting no bc its big, flashy, and pretty dressy. I dont like it all with casual clothes. BUT its a great piece!

101031-28 · 31 August 2018, 01:47 PM

If I wasn’t so much into Rolex watches, I could definitely make the Sky-Dweller my “one and only” choice

greanie · 31 August 2018, 01:47 PM

Submariner is very classic for an everyday . . . “Black” will match every thing always and has the Date!

IMHO

Any watch can be the only watch. But for all intents and purposes, the SkyD has all the functions that can be used around the world and around the year.

Navarino · 31 August 2018, 01:51 PM

If you got a big wrist that can handle it comfortably, then yeah, I suppose I could see that. I personally wouldn't want a Sky D as my one and only though.

Juclaq · 31 August 2018, 01:51 PM

Sea dweller for me

BDGator · 31 August 2018, 01:54 PM

It’s my only watch for now. I also work longer hours than most so it’s not like I’m going to golf course at 4pm on Tuesday with it. I would probably feel lot more awkward wearing a hulk or something as only watch at work setting. Unless you are basically going T-shirt and shorts, you can get use it for all occasions.

Tmac478 · 31 August 2018, 01:56 PM

I could easily see the Skydweller as a one and only but, right now, for me, I'd go with the SD43. Doesn't get more versatile than that.

For sure it could be a one and only. Just a matter of if you want only one.

SkyD make a perfect daily watch and it has all the essential functions for timing and traveling. You can wear to the office and drinks after work.

armen34 · 31 August 2018, 02:23 PM

Definitely can be one and only. I have a white dial and it can easily be worn as sporty or dressed up... also has dual time and date. I don't know why it couldn't be! If you can get one at retail go for it! Especially the white dial it's Magnificat!

grymg · 31 August 2018, 02:26 PM

A sort of timing function is more useful to me on a daily basis than a GMT or calendar showing the month. So I will always opt for a diver or chrono than any other complication.

Toony · 31 August 2018, 02:30 PM

I think it could be your only watch. U would need to adjust the date once a year. That’s not bad.

diracpoint · 31 August 2018, 02:34 PM

Yup, it was my only watch for 2.5 years ...

WJGESQ · 31 August 2018, 02:36 PM

Skydweller looks awesome.

Spectacular!

Dirt · 31 August 2018, 04:08 PM

I wouldn't consider a Skydweller as a one watch proposition.
And i only consider a 39mm original Omega Co-axial Railmaster on a strap as a one watch possibility.
Naturally opinions will vary greatly on this matter.

Regardless i have tried to go with one watch and failed miserably.
Just like i have different motor vehicles, motorcycles, boats, hammers, screwdrivers, chissels, kitchen knives etc, etc.
In this life of affluence, IMO it's not possible to only have one of most things.

Clasper · 31 August 2018, 04:10 PM

Great choice a stunning watch, with an excellent two time function

scombs263 · 31 August 2018, 04:11 PM

How about a two watch collection. Skydweller and SD43. Best of both worlds.

��

OP15 · 31 August 2018, 04:17 PM

It’s versatile, can be dressed up or down, and has a lot of functionality. I don’t see why it couldn’t be your one and only. I think a lot of people on here would struggle with any watch being a “one and only,” though, myself included.

Stevec14 · 31 August 2018, 04:26 PM

For sure it could. It does most things, and imo can be worn casual or dressy (the oyster bracelet helps). It’s quite blingy though, albeit I’d have the white which is less showy than the blue.

michael.michael · 31 August 2018, 04:42 PM

SkyD is like the next stage of Datejust, I prefer to have submariner or SD as my only watch.

roosvelt · 31 August 2018, 07:52 PM

Any oyster can be an everyday. Which reference is up the owner.
