Do you wear the same watch every day?

I've been wearing the same Rolex every day for nearly 30 years.........It's a two toned "Lady Date Just" and gets repaired every 4-5 years. The repairs used to be $300, now they are over $1000.I've gotten so use to having something heavy on my left wrist that I feel naked without it......So, having such an investment in this one, never considered buying a second watch.

I don't - most days I wear a watch but I tend to switch them up. I also have a Withings Steel HR which I wear when I need to track my heart rate due to a condition I have. It looks like a watch so I'll count it, hehe.
 
I have 3 watched but only 1 special watch that is a designer brand. I find I wear the designer brand all the time and I don't wear the others. There are times where I don't wear a watch - usually if I forgot, or its an evening night out and I don't need one.
What I love about wearing a watch is I look at my phone so much less.

I alternate among my Rolex Two-tone Oyster, Cartier Tank, and my Apple Watch. I like the thinness of the Cartier, the functionality of the Apple Watch, and the beauty of the Rolex.

Funny! That's exactly why I like wearing a watch, too.

Me three on this one.

I hadn't worn a watch in years but this year I decided to invest in one more for the general aesthetic of my work outfits. So I only have the one. It's an older Dior watch with a Diamond-set bezel. It has a white mother of pearl dial and there is a diamond at each hour marker so I can actually tell what time it is. But no slot Date Slot which is a feature that had annoyed me with other similar watches I had seen.

It's the perfect size too 23mm I think which is a nice size for my small wrist. And it's stainless steel which is good for the polished work look.

It's just a battery operated one. So I'm happy I found an older used that is functional at a reasonable price. :smile:

I'd consider though getting a different watch though with a black dial. Maybe like a Movado. For a more casual look.

Like handbags, I switch watches depending on what I'm wearing. Sometimes I wish for a simpler time when it was one watch and one bag. But I can't bring myself to part with any of them :)
 
On a daily basis, I rotate amongst 2 to 3 leather watches for work; I tend to leave my Movado behind recently since I like knowing precise times down to the minute ha. I have a gold watch that I wear to dressier occasions. And I have a beater leather watch for outdoors. So generally, I wear kind of the same watch every day for work, but on the weekends it varies.
