Best watch for golf ?

I have never worn a watch while playing golf. But this week I tried it out, because time is actually an important part of the game (tee time, pace of play, etc).

My watches wear very gently. I never beat them up or get damaging scratches or dents anywhere.

But I’ve observed that playing golf makes that pretty difficult. Reaching for clubs and putting them back forces one to be very careful not to put your watch through a literal obstacle course.

Easiest to read chronograph dial

Searching the site rendered nothing useful, so I’ll ask for recommendations for chronograph dials with the easiest to read minutes.

I had one of the first Kobold chronos and happily wore it for the last 20 years. But then my old eyes could no longer read the typical 3 dial layout of the Valjoux 7750.

I’ve had my eye on a Zenith Chronosport Open lately, but it probably won’t be any better.
