My counterpoint is that there's no situation in which at least one of those two is appropriate, except of when you need a dress watch.
To me they can complement the outfit / occasion in different ways, so they're not interchangeable. What would you sub in for one of them to make it more appealing?But they're appropriate in exactly the same situations. The Venn diagram between a Sub and Speedy is basically just a single circle with a sliver for the Sub when you're at the pool or beach.

You need a dress watch that looks good dressed down.All good points. Here's a valid question: Has COVID diminished the need for a dress watch? I haven't been to a wedding in over a year. My tux is collecting dust. When I go to court, I do it by Zoom. Do we need dress watches anymore?
Ah. A man after my own heart.You need a dress watch that looks good dressed down.

True dat. True dat.Practical answer? Yes, there are very few situations where you need a "proper dress watch".
Real answer? You love watches, and you give a **** about wearing something appropriate, so you're going to want a dress watch. Just pick something that can play down more casually (e.g., your Reverso).
Good point on the lighter dial, if there was room for a fourth watch it would probably be that.You may be right. I have a Sub and I just know that I'd never wear a Speedy or an Explorer if I had one because I would just always default to the Sub. At least with the Speedy you know it's a strap monster so you could mix it up that way.
If I went with a chrono, I'd want something with a lighter dial (white or silver).
If I wanted another SS sports watch, I'd get something with a different shape (maybe a Santos) or dial color.
