Do you track wear stats for your watches?
So, I was making a spreadsheet to have somewhere to put my watch wear stats, rather than waiting to do a hand count at the end of the year or some other interval.
Now this is a fun, quiet evening in for me, because I love turning data into information. Part of why I joined WC was to help me track what watches I actually wear, instead of what I think I wear.
I started to wonder how many other Crunchers are stat nerds and also about just how bizarre I'm being exactly. Y'know... For science... 😏
I imagine some of you are getting a headache just thinking about this kind of exercise, and some of you are rubbing your hands together with glee at the mere mention of a spreadsheet.
But how many? Hit me with that sweet, sweet data! 🤩
*watch nerdiness intensifies*
Jack of all trades, master of fun. Casio fan, 80s kid, polymath, all-around nerd. Beware: I use watches for their intended purpose. 😱
No I don't, closest I get is posting WRUW, but that's intermittent.
I chose not to track it because that would influence what I wear.
Interesting idea tho. 👍🏻

Mm yes, observation changing the data is always a factor. I feel like just posting a #wruw ticks that box, though.
About once a year I start tracking then go strong for a month or 2 before faltering then saying oh well and not thinking about it for a while lol
There are several apps build for watch collectors. You can enter specs on each watch, track their timekeeping and record which days you wear them. I use watchee.
No.
I don't want the hobby to become a chore.

Valid.
I use an app to track in the easiest form possible my day and mood. I added a section for watches, since then I track it every day, since it's just one additional click

I have a database watch inventory but no stats beyond that. (Of course, it’s still lacking the most useful piece of information—what size battery each of the quartz examples need!)
One morning, early this year, I did scroll through WRUW over coffee. Just made tick marks on a piece of scrap paper. Interesting, amusing even, but don’t see the need to try to keep another list up to date.
Like others have mentioned: that's what the WRUW is for me. A loose form of tracking.
But I usually wear more than one watch during the day. So, my Swatches and Casios are not well represented in that count as they are often my second watch of the day (exercising or doing chores) after I come back from work.
