Watch recommendation

Preferably something that will last, analog, doesn't look like shite and has the date.
I'd love something I could wear hunting and to the office(engineering/construction) and not look out of place but that might not be possible.
Please no Breitling, Oris, Omega, Rolex or other 4 or 5 figure watch recommendations, it's just to tell the god damn time and date. Not trying to be a baller.
I've looked into luminox, invicta, casio, citizen etc. Just wanted to hear from yall. Never owned anything other than a shitty Wenger.

Why a chronograph?
What size case? Between 40 and 45?
You want an automatic?

The wife just bought me a Tough Solar G-Shock by Casio about a week ago. I can already tell you it will be my everyday watch including hunting/fishing/outdoors.

I went through the same thing a while back. Decided on a steinhart.
No chronograph but was only about $500 for a well made automatic watch. to dress it down, I employ NATO bands.

I wear a Luminox (no chrono) on a zulu band with a sun watchband compass almost every day.
If I could spend a little more, I'd have gotten a Marathon. Same band(s)/compass though.

Been hearing quite a few complaints about Luminox lately, which is unfortunate because I've been wearing mine daily for 5 years and have never had an issue other than a broken rubber band this past year.

57 bucks on amazon

This is the Victorinox Summit XLT that I have. Has held up extremely well considering the abuse that I put watches through. I've owned it for five or six years, and only had to replace the battery once, and never polished the glass. My Rolex needs the glass polished at leasat once a year, and I don't wear it in as many places, so you get an idea of how it holds up. IIRC, it was only like $180 at jomashop

Marathon or Reactor.
Marathon is mechanical.

Hamilton khaki or Tissot viso date or le locle. Those both have chrono options in other lines
I have a Victorinox chrono xls that is fantastic.
Consider a used omega speedmaster though.
Christopher ward has great watches as well.
Orient USA and seiko 5 are good low budget options
Citizen sky hawk(?) has a slide rule

Really like my Guess watch that I've had for a few years now and I wear it to the office but also keep it on for recreational activities as well.

I've had a Citizen EcoDrive for several years. It has held up well to a lot of abuse. Only thing I didn't like about the watch was the ugly leather band that came on it.

Citizen Eco-drive nighthawk. Check it out and thank me later
I love it. Thin profile, titanium, so it's very light and matte black.

Search amazon for Seiko Diver.
You're welcome

Been wearing a luminox the past few years to hunt and work. Mines an all black chronograph with the date. Has been a good watch.

One more try. Classy automatic that will last for decades. Wear with dressed up leather or NATO or rubber bands...$450, 42mm, sapphire crystals, stainless case, Miyota movement. B-Uhr Pilot.

With a little trickier finish.

You'll have to focus on the lugs to make sure you get the one you want, but this is my new recommendation.

35 bucks. This is my work/outdoor watch. Wasn't a huge digital fan either but I like this one for its purpose
