I had a Boccia titanium chronograph I bought in grad school and wore everyday/night/shower for 5+ years - I mean I rarely took it off. Then I bought a mid 1980's DJ and wore it for 5 years daily - I did take it off at night and to shower. My DJ has seen about 30 days of use in the 2+ years I've had my Milgauss, and conversely my Milgauss has stopped probably 3 times from not being worn since I bought it.
Now I just acquired a 18038 DD. Thanks to hanging out at TRF I'm shopping for a Explorer II, and a 1978 birth year sub/seadweller. So I suspect there will be more rotating, and less constant use in my future. |

12 years with my 14060. I added a G-Shock when I had to send my sub in for service. Now I wear the G-Shock here weekdays and there and on weekends when doing stuff around the house.

I don't know if this counts....so I've worn this for 4yrs straight to work. I work 6 days a week....sometimes on my day off I would wear it. So at least 6 out of 7 days a week for 4yrs.
The only reason why I haven't worn it lately is that it needed a service.

One day. I take it off when I sleep.
---- I usually rotate about every couple of weeks.

Probably one or two years - the Casio digital Dukes Of Hazard watch that my grandma gave me when I was seven years old. I suppose I wore it until it died, and ever since then I've head multiple watches in rotation.
I can't decide whether it's funny or sad that my watch obsession began with a Dukes Of Hazard watch. |

Thirty eight years.
This was my only watch from 1970 through 2008. Almost never removed it and used it daily in my television news work to time scripts and video segments. It has been around the world, in war zones, was there for the birth of my children, and the death of my parents. It marked the time of my life all those years, for better and for worse. Now, it shares rotation with the rest of my modest collection. It remains my favorite piece because of our travels together.
