Icon7 Polar Explorer II problem...

Whenever I've gotten a new watch, it gets most of the attention until the newness wears off. Then it goes into the box and joins the rotation. That is, until the 216570. I've had it two months now and while I've tried to wear other watches (including a four month old Explorer I), they just won't stay on my wrist for more than a day--at the most--and back on goes the Explorer II. I know the gathering (I've nine so I won't call it collecting) of watches can be an obsession but to obsess over one watch? Is this a sign that I may be maturing into a monogamous relationship, or of advancing illness?

I'm afraid if I buy the Polar to add to my BLNR I will end up wearing 1 on each arm.

You could always wear them both on the same wrist.

They're not children. It's OK to have a favorite.

I love mine, It's my favourite. Just wear it and enjoy it until you feel the need to put it back into the rotation.
