So it was 4 from 6

Three were easy, but the fourth one took some heartache
No 1 The smart watch, the elegant addition
Nothing can touch the Reverso Thin Tribute. I chose the silver dial simply because you can match it with any colour strap. It also dresses up with an alligator strap but is equally smart casual with a calf strap. It also looks great with a mesh bracelet.
No 2 You have to have a chronograph- the most popular complication in horology- and I went with the just released Carrera 60th Anniversary- hopefully a full review to come when I get a chance- it has everything, panda dial, classic shape, history and what a great name.
No 3 The SUV of watches: the beater, the swimmer, traveler
It had to be the Breitling Chronomat Longitude GMT
It does everything- and again a complete strap monster and awesome on the pilot bracelet as well. It possibly is the only watch you ever need.
Now the dilemma
The professional watch, for work. For business, that goes great with a suit and allows you to dress it with different straps and bracelets.
In the end I went with the Tudor Jumbo Date-Day, its perfect for the task and displays the relevant information needed.
So,
No 4 Tudor Date-Day 38mm
