Who wears a Sky Dweller?

I am in love (I think) with the Sky Dweller,  Steel and Gold white face.

For you guys that own the Sky Dweller - and other watches, when do you find yourself wearing the Sky Dweller vs say a Datejust or Yachtmaster?

I have a Submariner, and steel Datejust.  I am wanting to buy the Sky Dweller to have as a Dressier Watch.  

When you wear it Do you think it will come across dressy or more sporty & casual?

I have the white gold, black dial on croc strap but lately I’ve been wearing it with a rubber b vulcromatic strap (black and red). I find it a very easily adaptable watch, although a bit tall. Maybe not very practical with a tuxedo, but goes very well with a regular suit. If you love go for it, I’m very sure you won’t regret it!

I have that exact watch and use it as my dress watch. You won't be disappointed with it in that role. If you want it for more casual wear I would not go TT.

I have the TT with white dial and wear it in rotation or when on vacation where the second time zone comes into its own.

I really liked my SkyD except for two things. 1) it was too large for my 6.5in wrist and 2) it bothered me to own and wear an annual in rotation as it sort of defeated its purpose. It's a beautiful watch!!!!

I wear the YG. It comes out in casual settings. Couldnt find it matching with any formal setting. Too big and chunky with a suit.

I own a TT Sky with the white dial. It is my current dressy watch and I love it. I travel extensively and really love it when Traveling around the US. When I get past 5 time zones I generally move to a GMT because I often am tracking more than one other time zone unless I will be dressed up often during these travel days.

Mine is stainless steel with the black dial. I really love the watch. Typically wear it in office, semi-formal, or business attire.

Beautiful watch and complications. Only issue for me and my tiny wrists is probably the size. Love seeing this though!

Just purchased this a couple of weeks ago and I've only wore it out twice, but I'll be wearing it every chance I get. I think it's versatile enough for dress or casual.

Been wearing my YG SkyDwellers a lot lately. I don’t dress up, so only casual attire with mine. They’re very versatile pieces, no matter the metal.

I wear a stainless white dial every day-wrists are 7 1/4 so it suits me just fine. Only other watch I own is a Bluesy-it gets minimal wrist time.

Personally, I love the Sky-Dweller.
