3... phone, stove and the one hanging on the wall in the kitchen. The microwave is there too but it's facing the wrong way for me to see the time.

I actually do have a nice watch but I don't wear it at home.  Many young people stay on their cell a lot so that is their 'watch'

@betsygee  At least not where I'm from. Usually older people wear a functional one. As @Denice  mentioned, younger people usually just use their phone or the ones that DO wear a watch seldom know how to tell time in a watch with dials, they just wear it as an accessory. I don't know how many times I've asked people the time and they've either:

a) Get out their phone and tell me

b) Don't know how to read the dials - so I read it for them

c) The watch isn't even functioning! 


My dad taught me at an early age how to tell time on a watch with hands, so I have no problem with it.
  But it IS annoying when people wearing watches can't tell you the time

Haha, I was taught how to read a face clock but now I have to look at it closely to tell the time---I can't just glance at it like some people. My brain is too used to just looking at my phone or another digital clock.

OK, I see: my phone, the computer, the scanner, the face clock up front and the face clock in the back.

How interesting--it never occurred to me that there are people who can't tell time on a regular watch with hands.  I guess I'm one of those "older people"  
  -- I can't imagine not wearing a watch.
