I'm with BA... every watch I wear is a tool watch given I use it to tell the time of day at a minimum. I try to keep it simple in most all cases. If I require timing its a chrono. For travelling a GMT. If I am getting in the water I prefer a diver of course. And I have no real reason to wear a flieger/military watch other than it is simple, functional and tells me the time. If I am in the board room with the high rollers I'll wear something recognizable that makes a statement. today, for example I spent 4 hours training neuro surgeons on my new system at work. I chose the GMT Master II not because of its GMT function but because I knew it would keep the docs transfixed and scratching their heads...
I think in common parlance we have created the term "tool watch" to describe somewhat overbuilt dive watches which can withstand a good dunking and beating. Let's face it... very few of us are taking our 1000m dive watches anywhere close to the bottom... unless its in the pool.;)
