Do you ever wear a watch?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't. I don't like how they feel on my wrist. I just look at the time on my phone.

I prefer the feel of a watch on my wrist to a phone in my pocket but I rarely wear one because I always lose them.

Only in the past where I needed to as part of a job or the odd year at school. I have not really had much success with wearing a watch. Also I do not get on with metal straps. I prefer not to wear a watch. One can always look at where the sun is to get a rough idea what time it is.

I use to, but I got told I wear it on the wrong arm. Apparently right handed people can't wear watches on their right arm. But the person teaching me wore their watch that way, so I don't personally get it. So I can, all jewellery I have to get use to wearing it then I miss it if it gets broken/lost/allerigic reaction.

Also I'm often near a pc. My phone is magically never on me and people get so frustrated by this

I wear a Fit-Bit to monitor my heart rate and let me know how long I have slept.  It keeps good time, too!

All the time.
I don't carry my phone around and if I do, it's often buried somewhere in my bag. A watch is small, lightweight and easily accessible.

Yes. I love the feel of one on my wrist and I just love watches. I probably have like 30 of them. to put that in perspective, I did work at Swatch at one time. We had to wear at least 3 or 4 while working. I dont like the feel of jewelry anywhere else besides my wrists. So tend to use a watch as my main or only accessory.

Nah. I don't mind the feel of things on my wrist, but I break them so, yeah. I'm always bumping into things and watches become casualties of that.

Sometimes but only as a fashion statement.

I wear a watch all the time except for when I'm sleeping.

I don't like any jewelry and very seldom wear any.

When I was working full-time I wore a woman's watch and earrings or my ring most days. It seemed more professional and I had a need to check the time (this was largely pre-mobile phones).

Now don't wear any type of jewelry except my duck necklace.

Very, very occasionally I wear my father's watch, or my grandmother's locket.

I love mechanical watches and clocks.

However, I struggle with wristwatches and if I do wear one it needs to be small and light - 35mm or less. Its not just the size or the weight though its the feel of the strap and the issue of it not being in exactly the right position or moving positions. In consequence I cant stop fiddling with it and get more and more irritated. I used to collect wrist watches and have owned a number at various times however I have sold them all now.

I do own a number of pocket watches though and usually wear one on a short strap tucked into the pocket of my jeans. I like the ticking sound and ritual of winding one every day. I also like the feel of the smooth steel case and crystal - so one doubles as a sensory object that I hold in the palm of my hand, manipulate and rub my fingers over.

No

I cant wear a watch or other jewelry, due to allergic reactions.

Shame, i like the look of the apple phone with mobile capabilities, as i get fed up having to take my phone with me everywhere.

I know you can put these phones on a lanyard, but that would irritate me too.
The only thing i wear that doesn't annoy me is sunglasses.

Shame google glass was shut down. As I would have made use of those (not necessarily for the uses that the glasses were banned for). I would have thought wearable augmented reality glasses would have had loads of uses.

Perhaps google can work out a way to stop people using them to take dirty photo's.
Perhaps breast/bum recognition?

I wear a smartwatch pretty much 24/7 and love it!

No, I just use my cell phone to check the time.
