Looking to buy my first nicer watch in january to celebrate surviving my rather intense work schedule in december. Having fallen into the watch-youtube rabbit hole I’m not even sure I can call these pieces “nicer” but the ones I am liking at the moment are the Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 42mm, 42mm Murph and the Longines Conquest black dial. Looking for a daily driver that I can use for the next 10+ years. Is that even realistic in this price point?
Would also love recommendations in this price point for a big wristed feller.

I would pick the Murph but in 38mm. :)
I really both movado and Hamilton in that price range for lifetime watches.
As some have said, almost any watch can be a “lifetime watch”.
I have a couple $200 Seikos that are 20 years old which I’ve worn the heck out of. Still ticking away. Still wear them today, even after getting into “luxury” watches.
Get it from a reputable brand, get something you like the look of, and wear it lots.
Yeah, all of them. lmao
Sinn 556 or 104 or 105
Or then Damasko DS30 with the hardened case you can add the hardened steel bracelet and it cost less than 2000 cant get more durable than that …
If I had to pick one for life it would be one of those two for sure.
Édit : didnt saw you got a big wrist. You want a lifelong watch go for Ollech and Wajs. 1000m water resistant with a crown that is as solid as a muay thai fighter’s leg and with a very good looking bracelet for 1700. Or there is there P-104 or 101 I dont remember with “only” 300m water resistant but same amazing bracelet and construction and all that made 90% in good ol’ switzerland !
The new Longines Conquest is incredible. I just received mine. It truly can be a do everything watch. It is an incredible value and honestly a great substitute for an Aqua Terra or Datejust. HIGHLY recommend. I have a Murph and the conquest is much better and more versatile.
