My favorite watch is my smart watch. It’s actually smart: it never needs a charge, it sets time from atomic time signals, has a clearly readable mixed analog/digital display, and comes with some handy extras like a compass and baro/altimeter. Oh, and I can wear it while logging, as it’s virtually indestructable. Try that, Apple! (it’s a Casio G-Shock Mudmaster GWG-1000).
My second favorite watch is what I’m now wearing - a CA$129 Seagull. It’s a skeleton watch with no dial and transparent front and back case, so I can brag about my skills (“I disassembled and cleaned this watch, try to find any scratch marks on the screws!” - there are some tiny ones, I must admit), and, more importantly, show people how mechanical watches work :-). It’s also a darn good timekeeper for the money.
