Weird question to ask..
Good morning all,
This is my first post on this forum, so I'm starting out with an unusual question... who out there wears 2 watches at the same time ?.... I've seen more and more people doing this. At first I though it to be unusual but I guess its whatever floats your boat

Very punctual serial killers and autists. Next question.
The only times I have done this are when I wanted to track my jogs and take pictures of a different watch during the jog. 😂
A lot of people in the Watch collecting community refer to this as the Schwarzkopf. Storming Norman Schwarzkopf always wore two watches. This is his reason why: "I always wore two watches during the [Gulf] war. The one on my left arm was set on Saudi Arabian time and the Seiko on my right arm was set on Eastern Standard Time. That way I could quickly glance at my watches and instantly know the time in both Saudi Arabia and Washington, D.C."

I flirted with the idea because my collection got so large so fast that I wanted to enjoy more at the same time, but the opposite happened. I feel it took away the appreciation of that one watch I chose for the day. However, this is your hobby and there is no right way or wrong way no matter what others think. Here is a great picture of Bill Murray wearing a Timex and a Cartier.

For me that's a little bit too much. But if that's your cup of tea, enjoy it!
Not at the same time, but sometimes I’ll wear two different watches in a day. But hey, I don’t shame anyone for wearing two at once.
I have only worn two watches when I am transporting a second watch. For example, I’m wearing a watch then I go somewhere and purchase a watch, both will get worn home. That’s always a fun day.
Some are serial monogamists, others like threesomes 😉. Whatever tickles your pickle
i dont think thats a good idea, but if you like it than its fine.
Left wrist has my watch. Right a Fitbit. It tells the time but I don’t think of it as a watch
I too have been seeing this. In fact I've seen Jack Forester of Hodinkee wearing an Apple Watch on one wrist and a another piece on his other wrist. A buddy of mine has a beautiful Breitling timepiece that he rarely wears, and instead wears his Garmin watches. He is a triathlete I might add but still that's his preference.
I'm of the opinion, wear them how you'd like. I, personally, don't find it comfortable to wear two watches. I don't like it.
