[Sword & Shield] How much time do you spend in the Wild Area?

I spent about 90% of my time in the wild area, just because end game content seems to be focused on Raids. Most of my Watts get spent on Luxury Balls and also the digging duo!
 
I spent most of my time in the wild area collecting eggs, then taking the eggs to whatever location I want to hatch them at. I use most of my watts on the digging duo. I'll probably start to do more raids once I get tired of breeding; trying to get 6IV just takes so much time.
 
Currently that's the only place I visit when I play the games. Mainly because of me trying to finish the dex but it's also fun to dick around in the wild area for hours on end. For awhile I was trying for a shiny eevee egg at the daycare but gave up after awhile.
 
I'd say about 80% of my time is spent in the Wild Area. It's fun there and I like interacting with the other trainers, even if I'm not doing many raids. And obviously for breeding too since I like the Wild Area daycare better than the one on Route 5.

Other than that I spend a lot of time camping in Ballonlea cause it's so pretty and my Fairies love it, lol.
 
I spent some time exploring it all. Once I got the gist of it I mainly went back to gain exp for my Pokemon between gyms if needed. I've tried out raid battles and I just find them so boring so I don't have much of a reason to be in that area.
 
I am closing in on 200 hours in my Sword copy and I'd say probably 150 or so of those are in the wild area. I do raids daily and spend almost all of my watts on the digging duo. I have pretty much every TR from raids so I don't buy them and I get wishing pieces pretty frequently from digs so I really only use watts for that.

I really like the Wild Area!
 
I finished the game at 20 hours, and 4-5 of those were probably in the Wild Area.

I occasionally checked back after gym battles to see if I could take on a level 52 Bisharp. Towards the end I did raid battles to level up before the end segments.
