I can go over a month and a half before I repeat a watch.

pulicordsI had a Rolex Submariner that I posted here back in February and traded it in for a new "James Cameron" Deep Sea Sea Dweller. The date feature is a bit harder to read, but I love the colors of the face and lettering. I swapped out the stainless band for the RubberB, which I find to be a bit more comfortable, as well as attractive. Some say this watch is too "big" (heavy), but it works great for me.

Just always liked the looks of a Hamilton
I have probably a dozen or so other watches I wear on the weekends or to knock around in, but one of these three are on my wrist during the week.

Boss1My work 'field' watch is a Casio WS210H-1AV Tough Solar. Great little digital watch...tough, unobtrusive, solar, multi-function, alarms, and I like the tide and moon phase functions. A good deal for $30 IMHO.
When 'knocking around' on my own time, I usually wear a Casio G-Lide GAX-100B-1A G-Shock, again with the moon and tide functions (tho the tide is very rudimentary). It suffers from the usual ana-digi design issue...the hands are often over portions of the digital screens making them pretty much unusable. But I bought it second-hand at a price too good to pass up, and it has actually grown on me quite a bit. It's pretty much my go-to if I'm active/doing projects, etc.
If not working on stuff, then I rotate through a modest collection of various watches, mostly Victorinonx, Citizen, Suunto. When I'm feeling 'upscale' I'll put on my Marathon (my most expensive watch that I happened to be in the right place at the right time and get for a really good deal second hand).
I do have a Maratac Auto I'm acquiring, just so I can have a semi-nice/unique auto in the collection, tho as often as I rotate watches, it might not see tons of wrist time as I'll probably just grab one of my usual quartz watches and not go through the setting/winding, etc. But it is a COOL watch (no date to be fiddling with), and I got a decent deal on it, so maybe I'll take to it more like the G-Shock. And when that solar flare EMP wipes everything out, and the zombie horde comes, I'll still be able to keep time.
Time will tell

flashguyTook the watch off when I retired for good. Now use clocks, computer, car radio, TV cable, and camera when I need the time.

MuddflapI have a couple Seikos, not expensive ones, but I’m proud of them. I retired 7 years ago and probably haven’t worn them 3 times since. Now if I need to know, I just look at my iPhone.

furloughLots of divers in use in the thread which I think is cool.
I love my Omega Seamaster and I wear it a lot. But my latest one has been getting a lot of wrist time. The Breitling Avenger Blackbird.
