I believe there is no such thing as the perfect watch for a person on the go, so to say, at least those of us who get our hands dirty.
Your policy of having a "suite" watch and a work/activity watch(s) is best.
When did you ever buy "one" of any gadget and be satisfied with it? People who come to this site are "gadget freaks" by nature and as such, we will most likely want a variety of whatever we want to own, price permitting.
I too have "suite" watches, I tend to go with TAGs.
For camping, hiking, etc, I have an assortment of different makes, etc.
My most reliable and best all around "outdoors" watch is a Westclock, believe it or not. Wind up, stop watch, glow in the dark, etc, about 30 years old, a gift from my parents prior to going overseas while in the army.
Also picked up the obligatory Seiko while there. Works fine, but too bulky.

We always go to the watch counters to see what is new and what will catch our eye.
I tend to go with the analog versions rather than digital.
