Depending on what I'm doing.

If I'm going to be highly active, I'll prob go with nothing... I've got a Tag Carrera 16 on a rubber band that I'll use as a beater, but lately, I'd almost rather go with nothing.

When in the hospital they wouldn't allow watch wear due to fear of theft (imho). So yes.

I feel naked without a watch on. First thing in the morning I grab my watch, my wallet and my keys - in that order.

When I step out of my house, a watch will be stepping out too.

No - I have a timepiece for every situation.
Even if it's hammering nails with a G-shock.

Not on purpose. I have forgotten to put on my wedding ring on more than one occasion... that never goes over well.

When washing my cars, shoveling my driveway (very frequent occurrence this winter so far), I don't wear it. Otherwise I'm usually wearing one of them.

Yes. Things like medical procedures mean no watch.

Pretty much EVERY DAY.
Wearing a watch is a treat in my everyday life.

Only when I didn’t have one or just plain forgot. I don’t think I’ve ever consciously thought to not wear a watch when I wasn’t doing anything that could potentially damage them.

Pronably not in years, not for a whole day at least. I’ll leave the house without one only rarely. I don’t wear it when going to play pool (don’t like it on my wrist when I shoot) or when washing the car (not afraid for the watch, but feel like the Sub bezel could do some damage to my paint). Otherwise, I wear it when I’m awake and not in the shower and that includes around the house so can’t think of a day where I didn’t wear one in recent memory.

Almost 50/50. That is a surprise. I feel absolutely helpless without one. Which I realise is irrational and that I'm thoroughly dependant on a timetelling device shackled to my wrist...

Depends on if I’m leaving the house or not. I wouldn’t wear a watch in my own house

The only three days I can remember not wearing a watch in the past 40 years was when in hospital for surgery.

Pretty rare that I would go a whole day without wearing a watch, but I had surgery a couple years ago and I know I did not wear a watch that whole day as the surgery was early in the AM.

Generally, I wear a watch everyday.

Yes, but I had the dry heaves and a fever. When I composed my self and my wife asked me if I needed anything, I said...”Bring me some saltine crackers and my Rolex”.

^^Totally serious ^^
