    Default Do you wear a wrist watch?

    This thread is inspired by a fairly recent thread by DuckKnuckle, where he is trying to sell his watch.

    It made me wonder: who even wears watches anymore, and why?

    I think the last time I actually wore a watch was somewhere in 1998, I've been using my phone (or PC) to tell the time ever since then.

    Never wore a watch, only problem was I didn't have something to tell the time by until cellphones came along.

    I wear a watch everyday, I actually feel kind of naked without it. The only place I don't wear it is at home. While I do use it to check the time now and then I wear it more because it has a skull on it and I am obsessed with those.

    Here is a pic, just because:

    I wear a watch every day I go to work, over the weekends and at home I take it off. They then lie in front of me on my desk for easy time checking.
    At work my hands are sometimes dirty because I go into the plant, so it is much easier to check the time on my watch - don't really want to take out my phone with dirty hands.
    I also have 2 watches, due to the nature of my work. The old one I only wear to work (think it is something like 12 years old now), and then I have a newer watch I wear if I go to town or whatever.

    Once you wear a watch, you get used to it and as [MENTION=767]Wlad[/MENTION] said, you feel naked without it then. The opposite is also true though, if you never wear a watch and then start wearing one, it feels uncomfortable and you constantly feel it on your arm.

    I haven't worn a watch since I was in school which was also in the nineties. Most of my time I'm in front of a computer which shows the time or I have my phone with me.

    My wife gave me a watch as a wedding present, so I wear it to work every day. If I need to go get my hands dirty in the workshop, I take it off.

    My wedding present from my parents was a very nice watch - so I wear it when I dress up for an occasion. To tell time though I use my phone

    Never really owned a watch so never wore one. If I got one as a gift I might but at the moment my phone does the job
