This is painfully correct. I am a watch collector but almost always wear either the Omega Speedmaster my wife gifted me twenty years ago, or a Timex Ironman Indiglo. I wear the Ironman because I have consistently owned one since they were first released (before Indiglo was a thing). I was prepubescent and got it as a present from my mother.
With those two watches, I literally wear my heart on my sleeve.
You wear your watch on your sleeve? I think most people have their sleeves over the watch. /s
