A watch Challenge.
I know its been done already, but I want to see if I can go a whole month with just one wrist watch. I want to box every one up and literally wear the same one a whole month. Like I lot of you I often change watches several times a day. This should be interesting.

I love watches, I am also staggeringly poor. So I usually have to go for oddity or utility over horological mastery. Very little in my collection could qualify as a "flex" I tend to wibble on about my...

I’ve done it three times in the last four years. Debating doing it again soon.

I'm starting December 1 through the new year. You are braver than I. I'm just really busy with things this month and I don't want to fuss about it. And I've gotten way out of hand. I'll leave the house with 2-3 watches on me and switch out several times. I really need to adjust my perspective.

It’s an interesting exercise. I dare say you will learn to both love and hate the watch you chose for your watch fast.
I spent years wearing just one watch before I got it to watches. Now I usually start the day/go to work wearing one watch but switch to a second as soon as I get home. So the hard part for me was breaking that habit.
Good luck, you can do it!
#1wc 😎
I could but don’t wanna! 😄
This is crazy talk!
I've done it once before! Maybe it's time to try again.
Good luck with the challenge.
Picka good watch. If it's one you only kind of like, it will be a really long month
I tried that... was the worst day ever.

I'm game if you're both game @Crazy_Dana & @gregsassinator.
#1wc December warm-ups.
Yup I started a few days ago with my Explorer II.
Let’s see if I can go right into the new years!
Have you chosen which watch it will be?
My regular rotation is between 4 watches. One would be hard!
Lol. I got 6 watches, but I'm wearing only one for about last 2 months. That tends to happen a lot with my other watches and rings. This challenge is just too easy for me my friend
A hard no. Thanks for asking.
That's why its voluntary, no prizes, no rules. I only said I was going to do it. Nobody else is under any obligation to join this bit of insanity.
Might as well! The challenge is deciding on which watch to pick 🤔what are your main options @Crazy_Dana @AshKetchup ?
It makes me smile. I want to see if I hate it by new years eve. :)
I love my Khaki, but I still don't think I could do that.
First grail, don’t blame me 🤣🤣

Oh I don't, fantastic choice! And so glad you managed to get something you aspired to.

That's a solid choice! I have a Mickey Mouse Citizen watch, but the movement isn't working quite right.. so I won't be joining in on the Mickey Mouse watch for December! I'm having a hard time deciding. 😲

It was on sale this week. Nearly half price and the Miyota seems to be keeping good time. It does not have to be a Mickey. ;)
I usually will wear one watch a day. While 8n the office you have no choice. I have never challenged myself .. I may have to start with just a week lol
Ok. Will start tomorrow & include #OWIE tags in WRUW posts.
All are welcome. Honour system. No one is keeping track.
There is no prize, only meaningless bragging rights & guaranteed misery.
Happy December OWIE's
I did this past spring….. I’m still in the honey moon period for some recent builds and buys so will have to skip this round.
Does it could if you spent that month on deployment?😁
I can’t see why not!
That was me until a couple of years ago when my daily Pagani died. That's when I found the rabbit hole. I should have walked away. I should have at least fixed a safety line line to myself. But no, I dived right in..........................
I haven't worn the same watch for a month in years.

Me either.
Good luck! You're more brave than me. I only wear one watch for a week at a time
I would love to but this is not the month for me. Too much going on with the holidays my friends and family gonna find it odd me wearing just one watch.
