What are your daily drivers during quarantine?

Being a total watch geek, I still keep a rotation of my favorite watches that I’m wearing during quarantine. My fiancé gets a kick out of me dressing nicely and putting on some of my nicer watches every day, but it makes me feel like things are still a little “normal.”

These are my most comfortable “daily drivers” right now. What’s everyone else wearing during quarantine?

This. Has everything I need, chrono, date, bezel for reminders and timing things. It’s completely taken over. Plus it matches my sweat pants. I don’t know about others, but because of the multitasking I’m using my watches and relying on them now more than ever to keep me on time with my various responsibilities.

I’m rotating like crazy, but this guy, LVc, SD4K, SD43, D520, and 214270 have mostly split wrist time.

The rubber strap on this one helps it suit my wrist well.

I am still rotating through most of my collection and most days I change watches a few times. It is fun to be so close to the collection.

For the most part though I am wearing either my BB GMT using the bezel to tracking EU time or my Timex Q with the 12 hour bezel set to track PDT. I have employees in both time zones so it is important to track both locations.

I have worn this watch since before the lock-down.

I have my more mundane, but well loved, watches here at home, but I decided after awhile that this one would be my official quarantine watch, so when it's all over, the watch will have a special place in my heart.

It's been about fifteen years since I wore a single watch this long.

This quarantine is far from being among the most difficult times of my life, but I'm quite lucky in many regards, unlike so many in the world who have struggled and will struggle with the repercussions of this pandemic.

I like the idea of having a single quarantine watch. The explorer looks great on straps, too, btw!

Not a diver, but one of my favorite watches. My Casio DW5600-BB. Simple.

I’ve also been wearing my Arnie for the past month while in quarantine. It’s unabashedly toolish and rugged, and also super comfortable. My Rolex doesn’t currently interest me.

My only Rolex is a Sub...114060. I’d really like this to be my next watch, or possibly an Explorer1. Love the green with red markers.

Love the deep blue! They’re too big for my wrist but I think they look fantastic.

Might be something to your logic. I have a 14060M in my collection as well.
