·I'm on Florida, so it's nice and warm today. It is 82 degrees today. I'm pretty much rotating watches daily and never thought about a summer or any seasonal watch. Basically it's will I be at the beach or not. If not at the beach then I am wearing a Speedmaster. If I am at beach then it's going to be the modern ploprof in steel.

·I don't think too much about what watches should be worn at any particular time of year, but if I was looking to define a true summer watch it should be light and airy, for me that leaves out most watches with dark dials and dark straps. I have this modded Ref. 3575.20 that I wear on a Genteel turquoise epi leather strap w/blue stitching that is a perfect summer watch, imo. Blue is a nice summer color.

·Nothing on leather straps, so it's bracelets & NATOs only. I avoid the one chrome-plated case too. Bought this Hamilton for hot and/or wet duties and threw the original into the bag of spare straps, so it's the default choice on those sort of days. Snow forecast for tomorrow so I don't think I'll need it.

And you can wear them when you walk down 'mean streets', if you ever do, without worrying about £4,000 on your wrist 😉
(And, tbh, I decided that an Omega 166.010, was a more financially viable proposition than an Airking)

·We had a few days that were in the mid and high sixties even one day hit 70f. Now it’s back in the 20-30’s and we had snow yesterday. Well on that 70 degree day I put the NATO on my entry level Rado captain cook and hit some hiking tails I had not seen in months. The only major change I make watch wise is not wearing certain vintage pieces when the humidity is heavy but This captain cook reminds me of the summer during the winter.

·When I read your question, I translate it to a personal wish, meaning SUMMER = SUMMER HOLLIDAYS
So in that case I go for a 'unbreakable' and fully waterfproof one : my seiko SKX013
I may tend to bring along my FOIS (from 2017 : so it should bear just fine) and I must say that I feel more and more the urge to travel with some real vintage ones. I'll see what I will do this year but I tend to think of coming with my omega with bracelets :
Otherwise if I stick to summer = hot weather and I'm in my daily life (not too much sport) then I'll say like some of you "I don't differentiate summer or winter, I just wear them" as it is what I do.

··history nerdThis is my usual summer companion. The pic is from last year ... it's still on the bracelet and won't get back on the NATO for a month or two.

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.I was just looking at a Baltic Aquascaphe thinking it would make a good summer watch with a vintage vibe! Beautiful watch but I don't know if I'm able to stomach the price.

··Wow! Custom title... coolI don’t have a dedicated summer watch but I tend to wear my Rolex Datejust (almost) only when it’s warm enough for t-shirt outside.
My grandfather’s Nivada is also for warmer weather

·While waiting for Tissot PR 516 (my other official vintage summer watch) to come back from service I thought a mesh bracelet + blue dial Genève could work as well. Looks surprisingly nice!
