A good dive watch is always in style and they are built to be tough. I like the seiko automatics. A solid quality watch for a few hundred bucks that should last for many years.
I left behind my Samsung smartwatch for a Seiko "Samurai" diver.
Watches are a personal choice so ultimately you should go with what you like. However, you mentioned you want a watch that you can wear with various types of clothing. Those you posted are a little more on the dressier side of things. If you want something more versatile, I would suggest a steel bracelet over leather. I personally like dive watches since they can be dressed up a bit (think James Bond) but also worn at the beach. It’s a bit more expensive than the watches you posted but if you can swing it, this seiko would be a solid first watch. With dive watches you can always put on a NATO strap or even leather to change things up.

[Mod] So I really want a Mako II with the seconds hand from the Ray II, the bezel from a SKX007K and enclosed with sapphire glass.
Where do I begin? What's a good watch modding form to buy/trade parts from?
I haven't looked at the sizes of the cases to see if I could potentially drop the movement from the Mako II into the case of an SKX007 after swapping the seconds hand from the Ray II.
I wish the SK007 hacked and had a lume pip on the indicator instead of the counter weight. Like the SKX013 does.
The SNZH55 would be perfect with a hacking movement and a bezel with more graduations.
Edit: I guess at the end of the day "saving" up for a Prospex SRPB51 would probably be easier and probably cost less in the long run but I still prefer the hour/minute hands from the Mako, and the seconds hand from the Ray.
Edit 2: This photoshopped watch is basically my "perfect" dive watch except with this bezel I just didn't want to do more photoshopping than necessary and the SEIKO SAMURAI bezel insert already lined up with the other watches.
