What would a tool watch be like for your job? Or, your hobby? (feddit.online)

The classic tool watch styles are the dive watch, pilot's watch, and field watch. Watches that ostensibly serve a purpose for some particular use case, but realistically most of us do not have that use case in our daily lives. Sure, you may find an occasional use for the bezel on a dive watch, but I'd guess that most of us here aren't regularly scuba diving.

So: what would the features of a watch be for an actual, regular use case that you have? Since I'm guessing many of us have desk jobs, let's say features for any particular use case that you have, be it your profession, or a hobby, or just something that shows up often in your daily life.

It would intelligently tell me what time it is for whoever I’m talking to since I’m the daily I work with people in 6 time zones. It would also live translate whatever language is being spoken onto the display. I’ve seen the demos of what in ear translators can to, but I need a display as I don’t process audio that well.
