I often have people ask me which watch I wear most often. Sometimes it occurs at a watch meetup, or it's frequently a question that comes up at the end of the year, for example, to ABlogtoWatch contributors. In the past, I had to make an educated guess, which is why I was interested in trying out the WristTrack app. It allows you to track which watch(es) you wear each day, and then tabulate the data over time. It sounded like the perfect solution to my "problem" of knowing which watches I wore most.
I found the app intuitive. First, you add watches to your collection in the app. You can do them all at once, or do what I did and add watches as I wore them, as that felt less burdensome. Eventually, I would like to get them all in there. The app can also store wish-list watches, favorites, pre-orders, and sold watches. If you're feeling indecisive, the app can randomly select a watch for you to wear, or you can plan out which watches to wear and set reminders.
For your collection, you can also store movement stats and category information about your watches. You can track the date of purchase, the location where you bought the watch, too, and access servicing information. The app also has purchase price tracking for watches, although I find sites like WatchCharts or Chrono24 more useful for this, as they also track the current market value of most watches.
The app is free too. Ads support it, but I did not find them annoying. You can also remove them by paying a small fee to the app developer if preferred. This also unlocks a few extra features.
I found the app fun to use and more convenient than trying to maintain a list or spreadsheet. If tracking your watch use is of interest to you, I recommend trying it out!
I tried the app throughout July to see what I would find out. It can track multiple wears per day (which is not uncommon for me), but I tracked only the watch that I wore most on a given day to keep it simple. I've compiled a list of the watches that I wore most below. Please continue to the end for my conclusions.
1 Wear Each:
Casio Edifice Honda Type R Edition
2 Wears Each:
3 Wears Each:
Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph
The most worn watch 4 times in July:
Conclusion
After using the app for one month, I have several takeaways.
-I have too many watches (or is that possible?)
-I thought I wore many of the watches more times than I did
-I wish I had tracked multiple watches worn in a day
-The app will be fun to use throughout the year, but I wish I had discovered it before January
