Curious as to your preferences on several general attributes of a timepiece: 1. Automatic or manual movement 2. Date or no-date 3. Strap or bracelet 4. Base metal or precious metal. Answer however you wish - could be for a daily piece, a special piece, yo...
The only difference, not a paradigm as I do like the occasional automatic for something that you take off a few days and put back on. Or on a trip just something to have on. But for enthusiast pieces , this is the way.

My preferences are as follows: 1. Automatic 2. Date 3. Bracelet for sports watches and rubber straps for dress watches (see example below) 4. Base and precious metals ...
I am in essence a time only sorta guy. Simplicity works for me, but I do enjoy certain complications such as chronographs. Increasingly gravitating towards precious metal especially white and rose gold for their warmth. Manual wind for me over autos. Brac...
Likewise manual, no date, strap and base metal, with a preference for titanium. But looking at my collection, I am far from sticking to this, with perhaps the exception of strap - that does seem to be a common feature 😂🤷🏻♂️
