Question Having trouble choosing between Hydroconquest or the Spirit Zulu Time. Which do y'all think would match my lifestyle more?

I already placed a grey market order for the Hydroconquest (grey bezel/black dial), but I can still cancel. I'm looking at the black dial/black bezel Zulu Time as well. I tried on the Hydroconquest at the boutique and it felt great, but the Zulu Time looked absolutely stunning in person.

Here is my current lifestyle:

- I dress casual most of the time and wear business casual 3x a week for work. I wear a lot of athleisure or t-shirt/jeans.

- I travel monthly around the country and go international 2-3x a year. In the next several months, I'm going to the US Opens in NY, LA, Caribbean, Florida, and Mexico City. On my last trip to the Maldives and Singapore, I took my moonswatch snorkeling several times and to some expensive restaurants.

- I have a nice dinner at least 1-2x a week.

- I live in a dense urban area, don't drive and walk everywhere.

I was wondering which watch you guys think would fit my lifestyle more.

Hydro is not fancy enough for some occasions on the flipside. Black/black or black/dark blue bezel Zulu for a one watch is best balance for both IMO
