I have too many watches, and I admit to feeling naked without one on. A couple of them might qualify as indulgences although those indulgences took place many years ago, but the ones I find myself wearing the most are the least valuable if measured monetarily.
In fact the one that gets the most use is a fairly battered black plastic Casio G Shock digital. I confess to being a little bit obsessed with timing things, off road circuits on my bike, sessions in the swimming pool, that sort of thing and others which it is ideal for.
Like you RP, I also have a Seiko diver thing that in my case, a bit like me in fact, has seen better days, but it just sort of works for most of my non-digital needs.
I have a smart phone, and appreciate its capabilities, but I’ve managed to get into the habit of not taking it everywhere or not having it switched on all the time. Sometimes I just don’t want to be “connected” in that way and prefer to engage directly with my chosen environment without the temptation of distraction from a screen.
