Do you wear a watch?

I use the clock in my vehicle, the cell phone and the computer monitor now. Also, my DH has this thing about having numerous clocks throughout the house and office, so it's very easy to find out the time.

No, i don't wear a watch. I just use my cell phone to keep up with the time.

Nope. I just check my phone...

I stopped wearing my watch when I got engaged..it didn't look right with my engagement ring, and it was too awkward on my right hand.

I NEVER wear a watch! I always have my cell phone with me, so there's no need for one.

I'm having thread deja vu - until I realized, I'm not mistakingly remembering things. http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=159849

I put 'it depends'

Why? Because I rarely wear one, but have one just in case. I stopped wearing them regularly in 1997 after something happened in my life. I think I wrote about it when i was in the soptlight a few weeks back or so... If i need to know the time, say for getting to work or an appt, I check my cell phone or the clock in the car. If I'm just running errands, or goofing off, I carry nothing. No watch, no cell phone (unless I'm expecting a call).

I learned in '97 to stop obsessing over what time it was and take a step back. Live for the moment, enjoy what you're doing, not how much time it's taking. I had to, it was slowly draining the life and joy out of me. I still have my moments where i obsess... sometimes I have to know for work's sake. But if I'm not required to, I don't want to know. I just enjoy what I'm doing.

So yes, it depends...

I used to wear them when I was in probably 8th to 10th grade, but I'm hard on watch bands so they always broke without me having access to replacement bands. My husband always wears one at work and has a nice one for when we go out that he wears every now and then. He used to wear it all the time but I think his wrist has gotten bigger since when we started dating.

I use my phone to check the time. I have a few watches but all the batteries are dead and I've never bothered to get new ones. I havent worn a watch in so long, it'd probably feel awkward anyway.

When I left my job 2 years ago that I was working at for 4 years they gave me beautiful watch! I loved it so much I wore it when I started teaching! It broke a few days after my birthday (in January) and I have yet to get the band fixed and it needs a new battery. Being a teacher, you have to have one! I relied on my classroom clock but during the TAKS test, I was having a difficult time keeping up with the time. I really should get that watch fixed before school is back in session..................

when I was doing nursing I wore a watch all the time! Now I dont!

Yes i always wear one

I have a question for all of the healthcare workers that wear watches...Don't you worry about germs and bacteria getting trapped in or under the watchband? To me it seems unhygenic to wear a piece of jewellery that can collect bacteria so effeciently. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I am a welder, so I don't wear any jewellery including a watch. It really increases the chance of personal injury. Imagine getting a watch or ring caught on a piece of moving equipment or a drop of molten metal trapped under your watchband. Also, it wouldn't take long for a watch to be ruined by my work. I used to carry a pocket watch, but now I don't even bother with that. My cell phone is fine. Also, with cell phones, the time doesn't have to be set, so it is almost always accurate.

I will occasionally wear a watch when I dress up, but that doesn't happen often.

I don't wear a watch anymore, mine broke and I haven't gotten a new one.

Yes... I like not a big fan but love some brands like
TAG & Citizen
In fact the actually I have is a titanium model... ...

No, I don't. I hate the way it feels...I can wear bracelets but not that constrictive watch.

That's a really sharp one, Rigel. I love titanium, as I'm allergic to a lot of metals, but can definitely wear titanium. I used to get black marks on my face when I wore metal-framed glasses, but that hasn't been a problem since I've gotten titanium ones.


It's interesting that so many people depend on their cell phones rather than a watch. My students aren't allowed to have their phones on in class, unless they have young children, so they're constantly asking if the classroom clocks are showing the correct time. Some wiseguys/gals will change the time because they want to get out of class five or ten minutes early.

I always wear a watch, although I do take it off sometimes in the evenings as I have a nickel allergy. If it's itching, it comes off. I'd be lost without it when I'm not at home and would hate to have to get my phone out every time I want to know the time. It seems a lot of people rely on cell phones these days - at work (I work in a library) I'm always being asked the time by customers. I sometimes feel like screaming at them to get a watch!

I haven't worn a watch in years and I don't carry a cell phone so if I need to know the time and there aren't any clocks around, I just ask somebody.
