I have six watches that all do different jobs, are different sizes and most importantly for me are different colours and styles.

Today I have worn 3 of them which is a normal daily rotation for me. Only one of the 6 rarely gets worn all the others are worn at least once a week.

Are you a one watch person, have a number of watches but some don't get worn or do you go for it and make sure you wear all your watches regularly?

I only get a new watch if it does something different compared to my other watches which is why I think I use all of them.

I too have different watches for different jobs.

Out of my current horological stable, the chosen ones getting most wrist time are as follows:

1 with titanium case & braclet that cost £95 about 12 years ago.
Also a stainless steel watch/braclet that cost around £55 20+ years ago. This is my standby watch for gardening, DIY & working on the car.
Both are quartz & battery powered.

I would like a Citizen titanium Eco watch but can't justify the cost unless one of my 2 existing watches fails.

One for work that gets covered in cement/sweat other stuff, and then something different in the evening.

Weekends depends what I am up to…usually one, today it is two as I’ve just got some new straps.

I have a selection of watches.
I tend to wear one for a full week then change it out usually on a Sunday.

Work day - Either Omega PO or Seiko Pressage

None work day - Speedy Pro or Christopher Ward GMT. If I'm doing some work on the car/house then a G Shock

Holiday - Christopher Ward GMT or a different G Shock

I put one on in the morning and don't change it during the day.

I have one of these. I've had it for about 18 years, it's really good at telling the time.

I have around twenty, but the only reason I'd wear more than one in a single day is if I'm switching from casual dress to formal or vice versa.

I have nearly 50 watches (i think) but generally i put one on in the morning and wear it all day, unless of course during the day i plan to do something that the current watch isnt suitable for.

So realistically a max of 2 watches in one day.

This.

I can't imagine wearing several different watches in one day, unless as Doofus says, I needed to get dressed for a formal evening event or something.

Like below I would usually one wear one watch a day unless I have a mid week evening engagement that requires something a bit nicer than the day time watch.
I'll probably wear a different watch every day though, and never the same watch two days in a row. rotate

Work day with a suit - Seiko Pressage

Work day casual - Seiko GMT or Seamaster

Penguin suit fancy dinner - 18ct gold very slim vintage manual wind Tissot

Working in the garden - a cheapo Alpha PO homage that I bought to see if i really wanted an orange bezel PO (I didn't)

Summer meal in a pub garden, maybe my black Panerai Luminor

Holiday - Tissot PRS200 as it can swim deeper than me, is reliable, accurate, comfortable, not too thick etc. Or Seiko GMT for obvious reasons

The only time I've worn more than one in a day is if I've tried on others, or a new one has arrived.

Mine all do the same job but in different colours so I can co-ordinate with my mood and/or outfit.
