Do you ever wear a watch?

Post Reply New Topic

I used to wear a watch for over 20 years, 24 hours a day except when bathing. I even slept with the watch on (it was my alarm). Sometime in 2017 I developed a really bad skin rash on my wrist that just wasn't healing, it got unbearable so I had to discontinue wearing the watch until the rash heals. My wristband was stainless, which is good. By the time the rash healed I lost the habit of wearing the watch. Then in 2019 I wore it again for a job interview, and that was the last day the watch worked. I went home that day and it just stopped working. I didn't bother opening it to see if it was the battery or what. It got put away again.

I like old school stainless digital watches, I've worn the Timex models for over 10 years because the digits are proportional and are easy to read and the wristband expands, no clasp on it:

I have a couple of watches. They're nice watches too. Got a pretty good one for a birthday once.
But I don't wear them. I don't have much reason to, I have my phone on me all the time. Maybe if I hung out more or went to places where I was expected to dress nice I would wear one but I don't do anything like that. They also seem uncomfortable to me, but that may be because I don't wear them regularly and my wrists are very skinny.

I never wore watches cuz I don't like the feel of them. I bring my phone with me most anywhere I go so I don't really need a watch. I did bring a watch with me to work thou when I was working cuz I was not allowed to use my phone during work hours unless I was on break. I kept the watch in my pocket partly cuz the 3 jobs I had were dish-washing & custodial type stuff. Wearing a watch on my wrist would of been a hindrance & could of potentially damaged the watch.
I wonder if anybody would be interested in wearing the Crotch Watch

I do, I get antsy if I don’t know exactly what time it is and find a quick glance at my wrist easier than pulling out a phone all the time (plus don’t always have my phone with me, I don’t like the feel of it in a pocket). Except right now I have a new watch that gives me a rash on my wrist if I wear it, so it lives in my pocket until I can get a different band (the rash is distinctly under the band, not the watch face, so that’s clearly the problem). Much smaller than a phone in my pocket, at least.

My phone has the time. And my Fitbit has the time. Why wear a watch? LOL

There's a song by Chicago which deals with having to know "what time it is" all the time.

Used to wear a watch, but kept getting it snagged or the battery would run dead . No need to add to my frustration level . Maybe some day in the future might start wearing one again .

Kinda like that pocket watch........ would like a larger display .
