In my opinion there is no difference between not using a watch and not having one at all. To me, saving a watch, or car, or the "good" china makes no sense at all. If you have it but use the cheap stuff because you don't want to risk the good stiuff, why have it at all? You might as well keep your money in the bank and get your kicks keeping track of the interest. That doesn't mean you should abuse your nice things, but using them fully is what they are meant for.

I have two mechanical watches, an Omega Seamaster Pro Chronograph and a Rolex Day-Date. I love wearing them both so it's sometimes difficult to decide which to wear. The Omega is stainless steel and indestructible, so I wear it any time I might do something rough or when I feel like wearing a big sports watch. . The gold Rolex gets worn regularly to work, sometimes when I wear a suit, but just as often as when I'm business casual. By the same token I wear the Omega with a suit when the mood strikes.

One or the other is on me almost always. The gold one has some dings, but they're my dings. The stainless steel one has plenty of scratches on the bracelet and looks the better for it.

Wear your best stuff in good health.
