I used to wear a progression of Casio Databank watches my last decade or so while I was in the Air Force, and for a few years after I retired in 1997. Then started playing with pocket computers, Palm & then Dell Axim. Then I got a cell phone, and stopped wearing a watch. That was 20 or so years ago.
No
Watch, Wedding Ring, Wallet, CCW, Keys, Pocketknife, Phone. Everyday.
for me, these days, it's "Spectacles, testicles, cellphone, and the cellphone case is also the wallet."
I still see lots of dial chronograph watches these days. Whatever for? People actually use the dial?
Diver's mostly, chronographs as well, Wear them throughout the day, or if doing something they might get a ding or scratch, then I wear something durable yet inexpensive.
Do I use the stopwatch function? Yes. If I tell anyone like my wife I will be out for a couple of hours it's a great way to gauge the time. I will use them occasionally for timing an event like an accelerating vehicle, or how long it takes me to get someplace.
Dive bezels are very useful when cooking, just set the marker to when you have to remove something from the oven, flip a steak or remove a steak from the grill. Also a great marker if you have to leave someplace to get there on time or be back by a certain hour.
During the last earthquake I glanced at my wristwatch to mark the time and approximate the length, and looked it up the following morning.
I will wear dress watches when I wear a suit. However I have been known to wear nice Field watches with a suit or even some divers with a suit.
I rarely wear a watch to bed, but a good dive watch or field watch is nice to see in the dark if you wake up before morning.
So, yes, I do wear a watch, part for fashion, part for vanity or conversation with other enthusiasts and part for personal use. As for type primarily mechanicals or automatics, but I do have a few quartz watches in the mix.
