Proud sasquatch-kin of the exclusive Hairy Wrists Club. I'm a big fan of vintage ana-digi's and I also enjoy fixing up faulty quartz watches, both analog and digital.

Diving of course😉
I mostly use mine for timing laundry, meetings, or other timed but not critical tasks.
All of the above, and set it to the hour hand for timing Calpol doses. Diver watches are Dad watches. (Or Mum, but that doesn’t start with D)
Timing a jog!
I cook for a living and to be honest they’re pretty useful. Also I tell the kids when the minute hand hits the triangle it’s time to leave the playground
Occasionally I'll fiddle with it (the bezel) but I use electronic timers to time things. If I relied on a bezel that I needed to look at everything would burn.
I have my divy bezel upside down for Byzantine time.
E. None of the above

Yes, Moms doesn't begin with a D - but Dames does...
I use it for grilling steak. Reverse seat, 2 minutes a side for medium rare.

It’s a bit Chandleresque.
“I could tell the dame was going to be trouble from the way she set her dive bezel as soon as she stepped into the office, it clicked like an angry typist who hadn’t been paid in a week. It had been two weeks since I paid mine, and that’s likely how the broad got into my room in the first place. I glanced at my own wrist, the way the arrow didn’t quite touch the top marker. I was a a Seiko guy, but this Lady sounded Swiss class before she even opened her mouth.’
Occasionally I'll use my bezel to time a measurement in my lab at work. About 1/3 of my collection consists of chronographs. If I know I'm going to be timing measurements before I leave for work I'll wear a chronograph that day. I have one watch with an alarm function but my hearing is damaged from military service so I can't hear it.
Absolutely nothing.
I just don't bother with them for tracking time as I do with chronographs, which I do use for cooking purposes.
I do fidget with the compass bezel on my Tortoise, but dive bezels with clicks are too noisy for that.
Re-adjusting it, again ... :P
And pizza, definitely pizza.
