    What was your most worn watch in 2023?

    I found this entertaining and it's got me wondering what the most worn watches of 2023 were for the good folk of this forum?



    Personally, I had so many incomings and outgoings that I honestly couldn't say which watch I wore the most this year.

    In 2024 I intend to calm down, just enjoy my collection and keep a record of the watches that I wear the most.

    I'm tempted to say it's one of these 2.

    I don't keep any records of wear, but I seem to always gravitate to this pair.

    A little surprised to find it was this one.

    Runners up were both from CWC: SBS and GS.

    I don't keep track but probably a combination of two Seikos.

    This was (now sold)...



    After getting my XVI I just found this too heavy, so I bought a Speedmaster, which is now easily my most-worn piece.

    Maybe a bit boring, but ticks all the boxes 90% of the time for me.

    Merry Christmas

    My 124060 Submariner that I collected on Coronation Day, I've worn it every day since.
    Prior to that it was my MN FXD I think.

    Impressed by people who know the answer. Haven't a clue myself. More complicated anyway since I started working mostly from home, as I often change my watch during the day. I mean why not, they're right there.

    Do people keep records of this? There's a guy on a music forum I hang out on who's been keeping a record of what albums he's listened to every day for about 30 years, so I guess why not watches worn.

    Without doubt it will be my Ceramic Black Bay.

    Closely followed by my Apple Watch, since its arrival in November the Tudor or any others haven’t had any time at all, which is a shame.

    Did think about wearing a nice watch Christmas Day, but I’m cooking so all the timers on the Apple Watch will be useful for not getting distracted by my niece.

    Pelagos 39 for me. Worn most days for work up until last month when a FXD has replaced it.

    Definitely this one.

    I keep it by my bedside and put it on first thing in the morning. My Mrs bought it for me over 20 years ago.

    Although I have over a hundred other watches they are pretty much just a collection and not everyday wearers as such.

    Perfection for me.

    Cheers,
    Neil.

    Only bought mid year but easily this.

    Tudor Pelagos my wife bought me whilst on holiday this Summer. Haven’t worn anything else since.

    I'd been wanting a blue dialled watch. Bought a 1/2 link and since then it’s been incredibly comfortable.

    Seiko SLA023. I've had to lock it up just to keep it off my wrist, sometimes I've worn it for a month at a time.

    This one - the Grand Seiko Self-Dater reissue. The earlier style Seiko branding with GS at six, in line with the vintage model, makes it a stealthy choice, one of the reasons it became the default grab and go watch for trips into town this year. But it’s also perfectly proportioned, super accurate, incredibly comfortable, and just the right amount unusual. Quite possibly my all-time favourite GS design.

    This by a country mile. I try others on but they usually only last a few days before I'm hankering to put it back on. Speedy pro atm, think its back in the box tomorrow.

    Very similar pairing here that dominate 90% of my wear - so much so that I basically alternate between them from day-to-day:




    and



    They just do everything, can be worn with anything, in any circumstance, and never call untoward attention to themselves. Perfection.

    That is very nice indeed.

    For me its definitely my Christopher Ward Sealander Elite - probably wear this 90% of the time, light, discrete, comfortable, and rather interesting with the retractable crown - web image as I don't have any pictures of mine to hand (though mine is on a sailcloth):

    I don't keep count but I always take my Fifty Fathoms on holidays, as well as wearing it quite a bit in rotation, so that would give it the most wear.

    Apple Watch Series 7. I have it on either an armband above my elbow to do all the notifications and health tracking stuff but still allow for a nice watch on other arm!

    Probably the 116600. Perfect size and proportions and does everything you need it to.

    I wish people would stop posting pictures of watches that I once owned! I've experienced several moments of regret reading this thread already.

    I can’t give you an answer. I wear most of my watches, depending on what I’m doing.

    If I had to chose some - Rolex 124060, Patek 5146J, Patek 7234G. In the summer maybe the Rolex 126655 and Omega NTTD. I do wear the others though.
