Could you wear the same watch every day?
3
I've been wearing the same watch every day for almost 40 days now. Honestly, it feel like I could wear this watch everyday except for certain special occasions when the Bambino might come out. If I added another main watch to the collection my habits would probably change, but for now I'm satisfied with eating waffles everyday. 👑🐢🧇
Do you have a watch you wear everyday(or feel like you could)? What is the longest you've gone without changing watches?

Making classic watch homage faces for Fitbit and Android, has inspired me to get into the actual watch hobby. Much to the chagrin of my lovely wife who does not share my enthusiasm. (it's a lot of ent...

Either the swc or formex
Yes, definitely can wear the same watch every day. I wore my seiko 5 every day before my Islander Manhasset arrived; now I plan to wear that one every day.
I don't know that I could do that, but I have that same watch. It's really great! I only wear mine on various rubber straps, but I have other watches on bracelet to fit that need. Maybe I could wear my black Monta Triumph daily (on wrist right now), but my Explorer II fits just about anything too.
I enjoy all different types of watches, but I find myself wearing my Tissot Seastar or Casio Wave Ceptor watches the most. They are so easy to wear and perform exactly what I need. They never disappoint. I could easily slip one of them on every day and never feel deprived.
When I only had a couple watches I wore the same watch for years without skipping a beat. But eventually I realized I had options. 💸💸
Wish I could sometimes. I will work on it !
Im ok with wearing the same watch everyday. Though, I do like having variety to my wear, so I am trying to build my collection around watches I would be willing to wear everyday. I currently mainly wear my Citizen Carson white chronograph. Though again, constantly looking for more lol
Every watch I now own I feel that way about. I didn’t use to but I consolidated my collection down from 30+ pieces three or four of witch I felt this way about. Now I’m at ten watches post consolidation and I honestly feel that way about all ten of them!
Not anymore. I wore the same watch (also known as my only watch) every day for 20+ years until I got what I thought would be my grail (Speedy/ the watch I always wanted as a kid growing up in Houston during the Apollo era). Researching the Speedy purchase gave me the bug and now I often changes watches more than once a day.
I have been wearing the same watch for 74 days straight. Going for the 365wristy with the same watch. Still such a long way to go
Nope ✌️
I could, IF I didn't own so many.
Having more than the one at the ready means I wear them on a whim; never really wearing one for more than an initial honeymoon of a couple weeks.

Same here
Not me. Never. Nope. No way.
I own 400 watches and swap what I'm wearing routinely.
And here I was reading about these 30 watch collections unable to fathom having that many watches! 😮
I wore my GMT M2 as my daily for about 15 years. Not saying I wore it straight 5,340 days, about every few months I might use another watch for a day or two. But I know there some years, I don’t think I wore another watch.
Then one year I bought about 4 watches, a Tudor GMT, Seiko Presage GMT (I know not much thought in my collection) and a couple of Seiko Divers. I’ve rotated with those 4 and my old Carrera.
But to be honest I could just rotate between my GMT M2 and my SPB 187 for the long haul.
I feel you! I think I could also be happy with those two watches too.
I feel like this is how I'm trying to build my collection. Unless it's something for a specific use case or like my Casio a bit of an impulse buy.
Taking time between buying new watches let's me enjoy the new one while letting my tastes and style style so I can find just the right every day wearable next one.

30 is a nice start. Lol.
Seriously, for some 1 is enough. For others 3 is all they want.
I love my 400 piece (and still growing) collection.
Buy what you like, can afford and what gives you pleasure.
Five years with the explorer and I estimate there have been less than 30 days that I have worn something else. I had wanted a Speedy for a long time so after getting a used one I do occasionally wear that on weekends. And a seiko diver or Gshock sometimes gets a few days for hiking trip
You got a chance to win #1wc
How does one achieve such a prestigious honor? 😮🙏
Beautiful watch! I always associate Tag Heuer with racing, super cool you wear it while working on cars.
Thank you! I’ve always been a car guy and therefore a TAG fan haha. They have their issues for sure and the f1 is an overpriced watch at retail. I have since left the crazy automotive world and I purchased this watch to remind me of my past, but to help me focus on the future. I’m trying to start my own local business as a luthier, working with stringed instruments (specializing in Guitar and Violin). The f1 has taken quite a beating and still holds up well!
The turtle really is that kind of watch. To me it was my late SKX. Used it for years and years, in every type of situation.
I think there's a ton of Crunchers out there that feel the same. Turtle and SKX are hard to beat in terms of comfort and reliability.
I have never worn a watch for more than 31 consecutive days.
31 is a very oddly specific number! Do you make a point of switching at least once a month?
Yeah it’s either my Hamilton khaki field mechanical or my Gshock 5600
I can definitely see a Hamilton Khaki as a great every day watch!
I love my #seiko Willard so much that I've worn it 85-90% of the time since I got the watch in 2021. It's become my comfort zone watch and I believe you've found yours. Cheers 🍻
Definitely in the comfort zone. I love the Willard, and I bet it's every but as easy to wear as the Turtle of not more! 😍

The winner of #1wc has to wear 1 watch for the longest time and post it on wruw daily with some twists like themed posts with the watch. 😉
I’ve tried

It would be a toss up between these 2 😍
Subby or DateJust
These could easily be my every day watches (if only I had one).
