Take mine off for sleep, showers and exercise.
No real pattern for what watch I pick on any given day.

I have nine in rotation. The one least amount of wrist time is my DSSD Dblue. The one with the most is my BLNR. The most accurate is my 116713 and also gets a lions share of wrist time. I change watches when the mood strikes. I may wear the same watch for several days or change in the course of the day. All are wound every day and reset if needed on the week end. What ever watch I am wearing gets a shower and a good rinse and is worn while sleeping. I will pocket my watch if I know there is a good chance it will get banged up.

I wear a watch 24/7. My main watch is my SD4K. The only time I wear my Garmin is when I want track my heart rate or range day(s); even then my SD4K goes back on a soon as I'm done with the event so it gets worn everyday.

I wear them in a rotation. No order, just what I want.

I don't make plans. When I get up, if I feel that I want to wear something different that day I just put it on. Of my little collection, the Sub and the GMT get the least hours on the wrist. My Sub date and Daytonas are worn more. I wear 24 hrs per day.

I usually switch my watches out every 1-3 days depending on my mood. Whatever grabs me in the morning. An equal share of my Rolex and JLCs. Watches only leave my wrist when I shower.

Take off for shower and sleeping.

Monday thru Friday, if I wear black or grey it's the WG Daytona, if I wear blue I wear the Blue YM. On the weekend if I wear black or grey it's the GMT TT 16713 and if I wear blue the YM again.

For vacation blue YM.

I'm loving the WG Daytona so it's taking more of my black and grey time on the weekend bumping the GMT quite a bit lately. Then I want a DD40 with blue dial next year so let's see what treatment the YM will get.

Daily wearer. I put in on after climbing out of bed and it goes on the nightstand when sleeping. I usually take it off when working out and never wear it when cycling. I occasionally take it out into the oceans when surfing if I need to be back on the beach at a certain time. I take it off when working with tools on my stuff because I don't need to know the time at such times and there's no sense banging it up unnecessarily. I shower with it on the road because I love long showers especially on the very early shows and I don't want to miss the transportation to the airport.

From 2007 to 2016 Datejust 24/7, then I bought a BLNR and wore that 24/7 for a month, then came the Submariner Date and that is 24/7 and I wear the BLNR when the mood strikes. These watches are indestructible. I am patiently waiting on my Daytona ceramic to arrive.

Rotate my watches depending on my mood but once I get home I always take off my watch and store it in the Casebudi because I don't need a watch when I am at home. Don't want to scratch my kids and I'm doing chores which could potentially add battle scars.

I rotate every few days. I keep mine at bank in safe deposit box so am there every few days. Fortunately it is close to house and convenient or that would deter me from switching up as often. I wear my bigger watches - YMII and DSSD Blue on weekends and rotate others throughout the work week.

I rotate every few days or less. All depends on my mood. However I do have a few pieces that get neglected from time to time.

I usually wear a watch for a few weeks and then switch out.

I just got a new Orient Bambino, so I'll be wearing that for a few days.

There's a lady on one of my bowling teams who found out that I accumulate watches, and when she found out that some of them are Rolex watches, nearly went nuts and wanted to see them, so I started wearing a different Rolex every week and will continue until I've worn them all.

Then I'll start wearing the Tudors and then all the other watches.

So, instead of the old pattern, it looks like I'll being wearing about a watch a week til I run out of watches.

That should be interesting for me, anyway.

I don't wear my watches 100% of the time when I'm at home. There's no need to do so, but there's no pattern either.

24/7 unless I am participating in something that may damage the watch, then I remove it.

I wear rotating whatever strikes me except bed and gym.
I'm surprised so many take their watches off for shower. I have always used the logic that me accidentally dropping my watch on the bathroom tile floor would be significantly more damaging than any shower water. Also I find that on in the shower helps keep my watchs clean.

2005 GMT Coke - mostly is a summer warmer weather watch because its a bit lighter in weight.

2013 BLNR - mostly cooler months as its a bit heavier than the Coke.


2015 Tudor Black Bay/red bezel/leather - mostly wear on weekends or for a more casual look and when knowing the date is not as important.



I tend to wear my watch 24/7 but take it off while showering or whoopee making.

Blue YM on my wrist in the morning unless I'm on call or have cases. For those days, it's the Seiko SKX-007. I don't like leaving the YM on the shelf in the OR, and don't like leaving it in my scrubs pocket. My friend in residency lost her wedding ring when she left her ring in her scrubs after changing. Also don't trust the OR locker, knew an anesthesiologist who had his Rolex stolen out of one.

The 16710 is for special occasions or travel out of the state.

My old DJ I haven't worn in a long time.

I wear a DJ TT from when I get up in the morning until I go to sleep at night. I work out and shower with it on at the club, since I won't leave it in the locker, but don't shower with it at home. Will take it off when moving furniture or sometimes when playing a sport.

I wear a Daytona at jewelry stores during my monthly "how's the Daytona wait list coming?" pop ins.

I wish I could find some rhyme and reason. I rotate through 5-8 watches within a week.

I'm typically wearing a watch. I wear my GMTII for about half the week and my Seamaster the other half. I don't have any particular reason for wearing one or the other, except if I know I'm going to be doing something that could be rough on the watch I'll wear the SM. Occasionally I'll wear my IWC but that's seeing little wrist time these days.

I never wear a watch at the gym/running/shooting/golfing... not because the watch can't handle it, I just don't like having things on my wrist during these activities. I do sleep and shower in my watches... except the IWC, that goes on my wrist in the AM and off when I get home.

The bulk are in the safe deposit box, I take them out two or three at a time. I do keep an SKX007 and a couple of Orients on the winder at home for when I want to be low key. If it's supposed to rain that day I wear a screw down crown, a dry sunny day will get a vintage piece. I don't sleep, shower or exercise with a watch, otherwise I have one on from when I get dressed for the day until I brush my teeth at night.

I wear one every day, all day, and sometimes sleep with one on, in the shower at the gym everywhere. I wear one on all travels, adventures, and activities. I own only Rolex tool watches. No date sub. Explorer I and Explorer II. Will buy a GMT II C again in about 2 weeks. (Traded one away a while back) I rotate them every couple weeks. My wife wears her air king all day every day.
