I'm closest to Oscar in my definition, I think - I'd consider it something primarily designed for its function (i.e., a "tool"), but not necessarily excluding aesthetic considerations, only suboordinating them to function where there is conflict. It generally makes me think of more value-oriented and substantial, chunky, sturdy watches like the Fricker-cased divers, Benarus, the Cave Dweller, or our own BaliHa'i, but if you wanted I think you could make a credible case that a Seadweller (for example) was a "tool" watch. At the end of the day, it's very much in the eye of the beholder...
