The Differences Between Tool Watches, Sport Watches, and Dress Watches

Are modern Rolex watches really tool watches anymore? Should Apple Watches count as a watch, or just a piece of tech? Let me know what your think.

Join me for a walkabout while I discuss the differences between tool watches, sports watches, and dress watches. These are my thoughts more than hard and fast rules, so there is a certain level of subjectivity with the different classifications.

Very spot on about the types of tool watches.

Man - the production quality here is great! Well done!

[davidnalls]

Brilliant take on what does where when. I agree when you add precious metal your shifting gears up from tool to sports. Great location your walking around in...looks like maybe Florida ? Anyway cheers Burb take care & Happy New Year fella.

You have done an outstanding effort at what most watch seller hide away from doing.. and most watch buyers are too lazy or greedy to adopt.

I can't believe this video has this few view or indeed comments!
This is the most fundamental thing in the ownership of watches.. differentiation of the different styles and uses of watches.

You may however need a version 2 of this video where you feature more watches of every categorization.

Well-Done!

How would you classify the Zenith El Primiro Rainbow reference number 30-0360-400? Is it a tool racing chronograph (since it even has a tachymeter), or a dress watch (since it's gold, lacks lume, and has a leather strap), or is it a sports watch overall?

Or how about the Zenith El Primero 40 Rainbow in 18k gold?

Great video, what if a field watch is made of precious metal? Does that make it a sport watch?

[modestghost]

This was wonderful! I learned allot! Thank you!

Very informative, differences well laid out. However the background view is quite impressive.

[LaFritePerreGoat]

Great insight in your way of thinking.

For me there are fundamentally 3 categories of watch. They are Sporty, Dressy and Digital. Sports have writing on the bezel, e.g. Sub, Speedy etc. Dressy will have no writing on the bezel, e.g. Datejust, Santos, Explorer 1 etc. Digital are Smart watches or Casio F91W, G shocks etc. Just my opinion.
