    How do you decide which watch for the day?

    I woke up this morning and was faced by a bit of a dilemma.
    Looked at the bedside table and was greeted with these:



    I didn't know which one to wear :?

    Sat there for a few minutes thinking about it and decided on the Doxa, then changed my mind and decided on the Seiko, then changed my mind again and decided on this:



    So how do you guy's decide which watch to wear?

    Whim, pure and simple. If I'm at home I'll often change during the day as well.

    The only method I would ever consider using;

    Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

    If I'm doing something manual, it's one of the beaters, if I'm out to a black tie do it's a dress watch, otherwise just whatever takes my fancy.

    Good choice.

    Re: How do you decide which watch for the day?

    Depends on what I'm up to that day. If something likely to damage a watch, I'll wear a beater. If a smart occasion, then not a sports/diver/rugged. If not, then even if I fancy wearing a beater, I'll save it for when I'm going to "require" one and I'll wear something I don't want to smash.

    I also have a spreadsheet to manage a watch rota so I only wear particular beaters in any one month. The idea was to stop me switching between watches several times a day as I have too many. It kinda works but sometimes I just think "Sod it!" I think a simpler option is to flip a few which I will be doing in 2010 when I can be bothered to sort out what I want to get rid of.

    i tend to keep two autos running and alternate daily. if one runs out of charge and stops, i will swap another one into the mix.

    This is an easy one. Buy yourself a Rolex non date and you will just be drawn to it each day.

    Re: How do you decide which watch for the day?

    Hi all, I'me quite new for this forum and this topic seems to be the best one to present myself, starting from "the mornings". Usually when I wake up I still wear a watch so the first question is: "will I wear this all day long?" The answer is always "no, today I'll have to do this" and " I'll meet this and that" my watch choice depends on my daily program! But also the clohtes I'm going to wear influence the chioce of the wristwatch ( becouse I still haven't I pocket one :| )

    Re: How do you decide which watch for the day?

    I too am sometimes torn between several options but one usually "calls" a bit louder than the rest and it's often one I haven't worn for a week or so which wins , it's like putting on a new watch again. :)

    Re: How do you decide which watch for the day?

    I usually make up my mind before I open the watchbox or look at my 4 watch winder.
    If I wait too long and have to choose looking at them it makes me mad!

    Re: How do you decide which watch for the day?

    If I decide the night before what watch I'm certain to wear the next day and wind it in preparation it can be guaranteed I'll change my mind when I come to put it on. Last night I unboxed the SBIII but ended up putting on my green dial Alpinist.

    Re: How do you decide which watch for the day?

    I generally decide in the shower - or if I haven't worn a watch in a while I'll think about it - or if I see soem great shots on here and I own the watch - I might take it out for an outing :)
    It's just a matter of time...
