Two watches per week
One for work (usually precious metal on a strap) and one for play (sports watch on a bracelet or a Panerai). Rotating them through as I love them all.

How do you decide what watch to wear
for the day? Any methodology? Just on a whim? To match your outfit? Perhaps because you’ve seen a post or read a comment or an article about the same watch you own? The weather?
A combination of all these things
Wheather, Outfit, planned activities, people I meet, mood, … Well, not all things. My internet consumption doesn‘t really have an effect on what I‘m wearing.
Mostly occasion, people and outfit.

Maximum pleasure on the day …
The watch that makes life just a little more pleasurable.

... a watch is an intimate pleasure that only the wearer can fully enjoy and appreciate
I do as the crystal guides

Weather and outfit.
Always a concern about what the outfit is and whether the watch fits under the cuff. Sometimes it's a warm day, so I wear something different. Also depends on the crowd I'm hanging out with: do I want the watch to be more subtle or a larger statement? The...
Laziness (or inertia) rules my choices these days
If it's already ticking, with the time correctly set, it's a strong candidate for the day's wear. So I tend to wear the same watch two or more days in a row. If nothing's wound up, the one that's easiest to set correctly. Thus, a stopped one with the the ...
I am not into the idea of changing the watch I wear every day
It puts unnecessary strain on the crown, especially if it's screw down. I wear some watches two weeks in a row and others for just a week. I give priority to dress watches during the winter and sports watches during the summer.
