How many watches do you wear daily on an average?

Being a total watch geek (like many others here), I don’t just use one watch per day but always two but really often three or four or more different per day. I have a Luminox “sleep watch” that I use at night and in the morning before I switch to another daily watch.
Then in the evening or even during the day I switch to other watches…just to get some rotation and to have something new to look at

Any other guys like me here? I added a poll just out of curiosity

I would say 99.9% plus of men, at least, wear either 0 or 1 watch a day.
Other than some unavoidable "ghetto" trips I wore my TT DJ for 20 years straight till I got my OP in April. Have worn the OP every day since except for 2 days I wore my kiddie Snoopy wind up to make sure it was still working.
Now if someone has a nice fashion watch and attends top tier social events or does hard core blue collar work the answer may be different.

I voted three but misinterpreted the question. I have three I consider “daily watches”

Being sky dweller ss white, sd43, and tt datejust 41 champagne.

However I do often wear three watches in one day what ever I leave the house with usually gets changed back to the seadweller at home. Then maybe a third watch if I was going to a meeting or dinner that day.

No rhyme or reason, I change as I see fit. Sometimes one watch stays on for 2 weeks straight. Sometimes I change three times in one day. Depends on what I’m doing.

One, or on occasion two. My daily watch (Rolex) and then I may switch if I need a watch working out or gardening (Casio).

Most of the time it’s one watch a day, but I’ve occasionally switched it up during the day.

1 usually

I pick two for the week and usually stick to my choice for the day.

I don’t have my watches accessible as they are secured which is why I stick with my two choices. Usually a bracelet and leather watch.

I only ever wear 1. I have had 3 Rolex’s, a Sea Dweller, an Explorer 2, and I am currently the proud owner of a new Deepsea. For me, each time I buy a new Rolex, I get rid of the one that I had, and that is the only watch I own and wear. The Deepsea has pretty much been my end all fantasy watch for awhile now, so it will now be my one and only.

I’ll switch it up during the day. Even more on weekends. If you’ve got them, wear them. Don’t wait until the music stops!

Rotating 5+ watches a day sounds extreme

I typically rotate 2 throughout the day. I try to throw on a different one in the evening just to give it a bit of a windup.

Normally only one, day in day out until some occasion comes up and warrants a more suitable piece. Then is back to one.

One fitness tracker for working out, then change to a GShock type for around the house and going anywhere during the day, one of my “good” watches. So three for sure…

Well with working long days I wear one. No switch off for me.

How many through out a week? Probably 2. But I tend to fall in love with a certain piece and go on long runs.

Been rotating these 2 for a bit. SS pieces have been collecting dust

Who voted 5 or more??

That's not watch enthusiasm - that's mental illness.

One watch per day on 99% of occasions.

Now and again I may change if there is something that I am doing that doesn't require the wearing of a luxury watch in which case my G-Shock is worn, in these situations I would change watches after I had finished what I was doing.

Equally I may change watches if I am out somewhere posh in the evening and fancy something to match the event.

Otherwise what I start off with is what I finish with.

I voted 4 but 5 occasionally, in fact 6 or even 7 every now and then.

Fickle mindedness, heh heh

It isnt when you are stuck working from home in this pandemic.

In fact i hv a certain schedule for them.
Eg. mondays will be either RedSub or Explorer1655 to kickstart the day, by lunch it would be a daydate, in the evening it would be a gold datejust and finally before bed time, it would be another steel rolex, perhaps a GMT16700 or a Sublime 16610LV. Fridays to Sundays are solid gold days, rstarting with either 16528 or 16518 or 116518, then, 16628, 16618, 118205, 18238s 16238 16018s…

Usually just the one, but if I have bought a new watch then I might switch to that half way thru the day or in the evening from another watch, for the first couple of Honeymoon weeks.

I wear a Sub during the day and Rootbeer in the evening. Then swop for a Garmin when at the gym.

I trade up probably 5-7 times a day. I am retired and at home and have a lot of watches. I sleep in a specific watch, I exercise daily in a different watch. I then have a few to choose from depending on my activity. It is easy to wear multiples a day.

Just 2 a day. I work out every day, so I put my Apple Watch on for that.
