In pursuit of a unique New Year’s resolution for 2026, an enthusiast plans to meticulously track their watch usage throughout the year. With a growing collection of both traditional and smartwatches, the individual aims to document the duration each watch is worn, utilizing various tracking applications.
The motivation behind this endeavor stems from a desire to understand watch-wearing habits better. With only two wrists and a limited number of days in the year, the collector wishes to identify which watches are favored and which may need to be sold or traded. Over the past year, new acquisitions have led to older models being worn less frequently, prompting the need for data-driven insights.
Among the four apps evaluated for this task, two—ChronoLog and 2Ducklings’ WristLog—have been dismissed due to their unsatisfactory features. While the apps allow users to log details and photos of their watches, the user has found better alternatives that offer enhanced cataloging capabilities and more comprehensive statistical analysis.
For those interested in tracking their watch-wearing habits, the search for an effective app will continue, as the collector seeks to make the most of this data-centric goal.
