A beater is an odd term; it means a watch the wearer uses and doesn't mind damaging. Note, however, that one mans' beater might be someone else's unaffordable dream watch!
Commonly seen beaters include
- Seiko Orange or Black Monster
- Any of the Seiko SKX-series divers, e.g. Seiko SKXA35
- Milsubs like the OWC MS-5517 rev 1
