Balancing wearing device on/off

I’m new to the world of Garmin and love the metrics and investigating all the data and trying to better myself. How do you balance wearing your Garmin with not ie. wearing dress watches, showers, charging etc? I wore my dress watch to work yesterday and missed checking in on my stats all day! I’m assuming don’t get too obsessed with it? And how important is wearing it in the beginning of ownership to gain consistency?
