    Different Bands or Different Watches?

    How many of you have different watches for different occasions, (Business, Sports, EDC, etc.), or different bands to dress up or dress down a watch? Or if you have watches that work well for multiple occasions without changing the look, let's hear 'em.
    Sharps: Spyderco H1 Salt (Black), Benchmade Mini-Griptilian 556, CRKT M16, Gerber Evo Jr.
    Time Pieces: G-Shock DW-9052, Seiko SKX173
    Lamps: Surefire E2D Executive Defender, Photon 2

    I have multiple watches for multiple occassions, but most of them are good to go any time. I also have different bands.

    I think unless you're wearing a digital watch, a watch on a leather strap goes well in any situation.

    I have multiple watches and multiple bands. I tend to wear my Orange Monster a lot but also like to switch out it's strap. It came with the bracelet (which is awesome btw) but I have a black NATO, 3x Zulu's with subdued hardware (Tan, OD and Grey) and a black rubber strap.

    I have different watches for different occasions. I don't like nylon bands, so I only own watches with ecological leather straps, rubber straps and metal bracelets.No extra bands for me.

    for my divers i have resin/rubber and nylon straps for each. for the military styles i've got a small collection of solid and regimental stripe NATO's. i tend to leave "dress" watches (dinner jacket, etc. event) on leather.

    I am currently swapping between two different watches depending on what I am doing...

    A Citizen diver is my standard watch - great blend between smart and casual that seems to work fine for both being at work in a shirt and loafing about at home or at the beach in a pair of shorts.
    The other watch I have is a Casio G Shock as a 'play' watch - so for all the activities where I wouldn't want to wear my nicer watch as it is more likely to take a beating - out riding my bike, camping, climbing and so on. So I have a G Shock which is built to take it in its stride and bought with the knowledge that it probably will get scratched up at some point...

    I have 6-7 watches that I swap out, depending on my mood or setting. Some are dressier than others. Most have metal link bands, 2 leather, one rubber, one web.

    Usually I go with Suunto Core B/O or Suunto Observer SS. Nice all-around ABC-watches, but not that fancy when I'm wearing a suit. So for those occasions, I use a plain Omega.
