Same here.

I love watches. wait... I love chronometers. But, I wear my Aqualand nearly non-stop. honestly, I haven't taken it off in about two years, except when going thru airport security.

Suunto's D series are slightly larger than your typical sports or dive watch. I've only had my D6 a couple months and have yet to wear it "daily". But on a dive or beach vacation, sure, I would wear it as a daily watch. In fact that's one of the reasons I bought it instead of a larger puck-size computer like a Vyper2 (one of the other comp's I considered).

Ditto, I wear a Citizen Aqualand dive watch. It's actually easier to get my dive logs off it than my computer ) No batteries needed, plus it has alarms for time or setting a maximum depth.

I'm still a little uneasy using my computer as a day to day watch. I am pretty hard on my watch as it is. I would rather just use it for it's intended purpose. Atthe very least, I have better piece of mind that since it's not roughed up as much as my watch, it will be less likely to fail on a dive. Given that I do change the batteries as needed, at the start of theseason and before a major dive trip.

Glad to hear its easy to download dive logs off the Citizen... I have had my eye on an Aqualand because it is smaller, can be worn as a day to day watch, and has the basic dive computer functions.
