I used to wear watches only occasionally. The turning point was some time after I met my husband, and he bought me a good watch, one that wouldn't break if I looked at it crosseyed (or even if I smacked it against a cinderblock wall). It's attractive, but in a casual way. It felt weird at first, being a metal watch and heavier than anything I'd worn before, but I started wearing it a lot.
Then I got another good watch, one that is jewelry as much as a timepiece, so I can wear one or the other no matter what the occasion. Now I feel naked if I leave the house not wearing a watch (and earrings, and lipstick. I blame that last bit on my mother).
If both watches weren't both waterproof and nigh-indestructable, it might be a different story.
