Like you OP I’m not kind to watches, and I know a few people who are a bit too into their timepieces…
I’ve got a Posh Citizen and a Nice “Storm” watch both bought for me as gifts, I really like both, but I barely ever wear them for fear of destroying them… I certainly wouldn’t wear them to work.
99% of the time I wear cheap plastic Casio FW-91…
But yeah why would you put £150 worth of what is essentially “jewellery” in harms way on a daily basis?…
As nice as some (not all IMO) of the G-shock watches look, I’m not sure I’d pay £80+ to own one, when many of their cheaper watches are about the same functionally…
Spend £140 on a “for best” watch if you like, and then a tenner on a sacrificial day to day job…
And don’t go trying to keep up with the office tarts…
