Always when I leave the house. In these days I don't wear rings, that I love, due to all the sanifications, and rarely bracelets, but a watch always. My husband is a collector and I want his classic Panerai, or at least the Monaco! They are big and my wrist is pretty small, he thinks it would be ridiculous, but I don't care.
Absolutely. My Mother bought me a watch as soon as I learned how to tell time and I’ve worn one ever since. In addition, I’m a physician so nothing has really changed in regards to leaving the house during the pandemic, so I still need to wear a watch. Plus, I like to count my steps, so I always at least have a smart watch on to count my steps, even if I’m staying home.
I wear one everyday....quicker and easier than getting out my phone and looking at it. Plus I love my two watches as functional jewelry. Only reason I have 2 is because one is all stainless and the other is two-tone, since I have started to wear yellow gold jewelry again from time to time after only wearing white metal jewelry and my engagement and wedding rings are white gold.
As at Christmas Day I’ll have 3 watches. An Apple Watch which I plan to wear when I’m at home only. Given the state of the world at the moment, I can see me getting a lot of wear out of it! I then have two “proper” watches - a solid gold Rolex & a stainless steel Tudor - which I will wear when I go out. I see watches as jewellery so although I do have my phone pretty much glued to my hand, I hate being without a watch.
I was without a watch for a few years but got sick of reaching for the phone or asking my DH the time, so just got a Longines automatic. I feel like it “completes” the look of my left hand - classic watch and wedding set.
I always take off all jewelry when I am/get home. I always wore one for work, but since I've stopped working, I have to try to remember to put one on if I am (almost never) leaving the house. I do prefer to look at a watch than my phone for the time.
I wear a mechanical watch regularly and also have a Garmin for exercise and sleep tracking. I prefer wearing my mechanical watch because I don't want to be connected to my phone all the time and the fit of my watch bracelet also feels better than my silicon Garmin strap. With meetings running all the time, it's just easier to glance down at my wrist when I'm doing other things like cooking.

Same here. I wear it as jewelry, not a timepiece. I wear my Apple watch most of the time now.

seems like maybe I didn't make the best choice of dial color. mine is a pink (really peach) and it's hard to read
