FR920XT - only working out/racing. Rarely otherwise. I also have a Suunto Spartan Trainer Wrist HR. I use this only for travel - it’s nice to leave the chest strap at home. This one is small enough to wear as an ‘everyday’ watch and I do that a bit. But not to sleep and 80% just for working out…
Just training and racing. What kind of data are you obsessed with during a non-workout part of the day?
always

I haven’t been doing much running or cycling lately, but when I do I’ll wear it for run and bike probably 50% of the time, and almost never for the swim. I did wear it for last weeks open water swim so I could measure the course.
never in the pool.
Pretty much it’s a race only device.
About as much as I wear a watch with a calculator on it.
Polar V800; 24/7 except when charging. I like getting the sleep metrics, and it’s a pretty decent looking watch.
I got new Garmin 935 as a gift from the Wife. She bought it for me because the insurance company judges whether or not you’re active enough to be worthy of their healthy rewards benefits by counting steps. Any other type of non-stepping activity be damned. Therefore, I wear my watch during the day. I take it off for the bike, pool, and bed.
I have a fancy dress watch I used to wear but the damn thing goes through a battery every 20 months or so.
Also, I was constantly taking it off and switching to my tri watch and then not bothering to switch back.
So, I have a $500 watch sitting in drawer now.
My new Coros Apex is a fairly nice looking watch so I don’t mind wearing it with a suit to formal events.
I wear my 935 all the time except when I’m sleeping. I have an expensive high end watch collection that I basically don’t wear anymore… since all they do is tell time… 
People take off their watch?
So funny. Pool swimming is the only time I take it off. It helped me develop a range of speeds. My slow and relaxed is slow and relaxed and when I am swimming fast I have more focus on what I am doing.

This is the correct thing to do. Though shalt not wear a watch in the pool.
Always except while charging. Fenix 5 sapphire, and i use it for hr, sleep and calorie tracking.
Sometimes i wear an omega for more formal occasions, but I prefer the Fenix.
24/7

I gave a Garmin 935. I only wear it when training (swim/bike/run) or racing. Never any other time. I hate wearing a watch and have no value in the data that doesn’t come from training/racing.
All the time except Bedtime. I would not wear to job interview.
A couple of weeks ago we went to a wedding, as I walked up to our table the guy at the table asks:
“are you a triathlete?”
me: HUH, What?
“the watch”
Oh yea and I have the tan line to prove it
Turns out his wife is a KQ Bound triathlete.
During a very weird summer that saw me change careers, pretty much the only exercise I have done is swim in an outdoor pool and walk the dogs. Usually I run or bike, and as fall creeps up, I may run some more and maybe bike to work.
That said, I wear a newer (bought this year at Walmart) Timex IM watch. I have worn it every single one I’ve been in the pool: I’m trying to use my watch to help me gauge the progress of my summer tan. I have a pretty well-defined Tyr polymesh square-bottom tan line. Only a few more weeks to work on this, and then it’s over. Cue Seasonal Affective Disorder, until I start running on weekends and biking to work.
945 24/7

The number of times someone at work sees it, asks why I’m wearing a weird watch, and the I proceed to tell them about my triathlon badassery.
I wear mine during training and racing.
