It seems that way. I just got into this hobby within the past year, but as of right now, most of them don't do anything for me. For a more casual look, I've been drawn much more to the pilot style. |

I do divers, but my favorite style is military/pilot...and by military, I mean classic military like the JL below, not TSAR, JSAR, CSAR, etc. |

I go back and forth, started with chronos, then a couple military style watches, then to divers, back to chronos, and just picked up some classic pilot style watches around the beginning of the year. My last couple purchases have been military (CWC G10) and chrono (Dievas Divergraph). I'll chime in with Skip and say my all time favorites are diver chronographs! I am so mad at myself for missing the Accutron V7750's that were just on Shnoop :shock: Cheers, Griff |

I think we are getting style and movement mixed up here. Chronograph would be a type (not brand) of movement and as such could be incorporated into any style such as diver, pilot, military, dress, etc. |

Men will always be into the gadget/tool aspect of Dive watches. I like the worry free aspect of not having to panic if I am swept away by a tsunami. I am 50/50 I tend to like Chronographs just as much or more. |

It has to glow first and foremost. No Chrono's for me. I like Pilot style, Divers, diver style, GMT, and three-hand mechanicals. :D |

For me divers make the best travel anywhere watch. One moment you can be in the sea and the next in a hot tub. The sealing of the case and the overall construction is just more durable. I prefer dress watches when involved in leisure activities, but I like small watches and complications that are not available in any other designs. |

I only have one diver. (nivrel) It is very plain and well crafted. I generally prefer very simple clean styles. Understated elegance and all that. Definitely no chronos (unless you mean chronometer) for me. As for complications, Day/Date, power reserve, and GMT are about it. And then not all on the same watch. Sub-seconds are OK too. Regulators too. And I couldn't turn down a great value on a turbillion. But I like to keep the dial uncluttered. Guilloche is nice, though. OK I admit it... ANYTHING THAT TICKS. |

I have several different types of watches, but right now my taste leans toward divers. I like the style and chunkiness.:D |

Mostly divers for me too. I'll have the occasional non-diver if it's cool.. |

I am pretty much all over the place but taking a quick look at the collection shows a definite predilection for divers. Like Avery said, they are tough, sealed and should take a good amount of daily use no matter how rough it might be... |
