Garmin Instinct 2s - My “beater” watch that I use for gym, sports, camping, and any other event that requires lots of physical activity.

Timex Weekender 38mm - My casual watch. I live on an island so shorts and flip-flops are the norm most of the time. Basically my GADA when my Zulu is too much.

Longines Zulu Spirit 39mm - This became my grail as soon as I tried it on in person. Absolutely beautiful. The 39mm on my 6.5in wrist is as perfect as it gets when it comes to fit, even with the notoriously long and straight case. My GADA and in some cases I’m sure I’ll strap it on as my dress watch.

Seiko Presage “Fuyugeshiki” - My very first expensive watch ($500). I bought this to serve as my dress watch but find myself reaching for it in casual wear. That was before I got my Zulu. My favorite element is the textured dial. Absolutely beautiful.
