What is considered a beater watch? Is it just the watch you wear most days?

A beater is a watch you wear and don’t have to worry about. You’re ok scratching it up and it’s not the end of the world if you lose it / gets stolen. For me my “beater” is a seiko diver I take on my vacations, wear to the beach or doing activities that could damage a watch. But it’s not my everyday watch or the watch I wear the most.

I agree with the second comment. My beater watch is not my “everyday watch” I work in an office so my everyday watch is a nicer watch that I am very cautious about getting scratched. I would never wear it to the beach or while working in the yard etc. my beater watch is a cheaper watch that I specifically wear when I’m doing more strenuous activity…going to the beach, landscaping, working in the garage etc

Roughly speaking, yes. There are some watches you might wear specifically for sport or for activities where wear is more likely, but I would say a ‘beater’ is the watch you wear without worrying out it accumulating scratches over time (especially on the bracelet).

I’ll probably get hate for this but one of my beater watches is a citizen ecodrive I bought like 15 years ago for a few hundred. Still works like a champ.

It’s a beater, who cares what people think.

Hi fishes! Nagarro declined the counter offer letter ₹33,00,000 + shares worth 4.5LPA

I've 6+ yrs experience (mobile dev.)

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.

im 10 weeks into my contract as a PO at a large satelline/wireless provider (synonym: plate) and the company has offered to bring me on as an internal employee.

currently i am hourly contractor at a rate of $50/hr + 2k sign on

the salaried offer is for 104k ( $52/hr)/ no bonus

problem here is that i work 48-52hrs/wk & get paid overtime, so taking this offer would actually be a paycut by about $250-300/wk
