It's a waste of time when it isn't what I really want.

That gives you one practical second watch, two sentimental watches and a Speedy to now wear the majority of the time and enjoy. Actually maybe keep the CWC G10.

I should have mentioned the other problem in that I'm sentimental. I wouldn't get rid of the Chris Ward as it was my first proper watch, bought for me by my dad. The G10 was a service watch used by my father in law so that would have to stay.
My other worry is that although the speedy is my grail watch and, in some way, the ultimate tool watch, the value of it would really limit my wearing of it as much I'd like. Not sure if the speedy wearers of this parish suffer this problem?

@Stonehedge exactly the kind of considered response I was hoping for. hah!
@freddo Out of the 7 I have currently, I mainly wear a SKX009, Christopher Ward C4 (quartz) and my CWC G10. I have a G-Shock that I tend to wear only if i'm worried about damaging another watch and then the other 3 watches get little wear but I'm loathed to part with any of them bar one (a vintage Lancia incabloc auto that is too small).
Since I've ever shown any interest in watches, it's always been a Speedy that has been my grail but as time goes on I'm not sure whether I could justify the spend on one or whether I would wear it as I'd like for fear of damaging it.
The other side of it is that when I look at affordable alternatives that I love the look of (Steinhart Ocean 1 Military/Hamilton Khaki/Squale to name a few) I often wonder whether It's a waste of time when it isn't what I really want.
Plus, as I like tool watches, do I want/need to end up with a bunch of watches that are essentially all the same?
