Who still wears a watch?
 
Not to poo-poo on Andrew's Christmas present, but with clocks now in so many devices, I can't even remember when I last wore a watch.

I always wear a watch. I lost my watch this summer and went nuts without it for a week or two until I got it replaced. Of course as soon as I ordered a new watch I found the other one :rolleyes:

Andrew 12/26/2007 12:08 PM

I wear one every day. Even durning the night. :D

drauka99 12/26/2007 12:10 PM

I wear a watch daily, around the house not so much but I like to have it on when I go out. i also have clocks around the house where I can glance and see waht time it is.

Misled 12/26/2007 12:16 PM

Always, (except when I'm nekid).

Mine.

I wear a watch everyday. I've actually had the same Timex that I got from Walmart for the last 3 years and have had to change the battery once.:D

:) Its been several years since I last wore a watch. I used to wear one pretty much 24/7 (even at night), then my last one broke for who knows what reason and I never got around to getting another one. I don't have a cell phone, PDA or any other type of gizmo like that I carry on me to tell the time either. We have plenty of clocks here in the house to look at, and if I'm out of the house I don't rightly care exactly what time it is. I can usually guess pretty close what time it is without anything telling me the time (within 15-20 minutes at least), and that's all the more accurate I need to be on an average day ;).

Here's a couple that I have, but I've got a couple more including the black one I wear most of the time which is like Jesse's watch.

I never do but I got a nice gold miami hurricanes watch for xmas

My job requires me to wear a watch, but I rarely put it on my arm. I hate the way it feels (I don't wear jewelry) and I end up checking it a few times a minute, which makes the day go by SLOOOW. I just keep it in my pocket.

And what's the deal with putting it on the opposite arm that you write with? I've never heard this properly explained. I'm right handed, so it is much more convenient to put it on my right arm, when I do wear it. That is, however, wrong. :confused:

drauka99 12/26/2007 12:49 PM

Marks - I'm sure the oposite side thing got started when people were having to note times and such on records, much easier to write it if you can keep pen on paper and look at the watch at the same time .... but thats just a guess

I wear mine on my left arm and I am left handed.

I have this exact model, except in silver. :)

hubris007 12/26/2007 01:12 PM

i haven't worn a watch in 3 years.

billsreef 12/26/2007 01:35 PM

Always wear a watch. It's water proof, my cell phone isn't...and I work around lots of water :D

We should all envy you...sounds pretty low stress!

jpfelix 12/26/2007 02:09 PM

i used to wear one all the time, but then i got too fat for it. i haven't gotten a new band so i keep it in my pocket. i use it everyday at school. maybe i should get a new band for my birthday?

Andrew 12/26/2007 02:22 PM

What kind of band is it?

dkh0331 12/26/2007 02:43 PM

I have two. I will just about always wear one when I am out of the house.

joeychitwood 12/26/2007 02:57 PM

I wear a watch at work and when I'm dressed in something more formal than jeans and a T-shirt. I received my watch from my lovely spouse, so it is special to me.

If I wake up at night, I can usually guess what time it is without looking at a clock to about a ten minute accuracy. I seem to be able to keep track of time while I sleep.

Nice watch Joey!!!!


:thumbsup:

redawg 12/26/2007 03:05 PM

It's easier for me to look at my watch than to dig my cell phone out and check the time. I'm not the type of person that always has her phone in her hand. I forget my phone more than I forget my watch!

dwd5813 12/26/2007 03:11 PM

i have a decent watch that i will wear if i'm going out, or going to class, but for the most part i do not wear a watch. any poll with porcupines as an option skews my answer though! :)

knowse 12/26/2007 03:31 PM

I always wear a watch.

I lost mine on Sat. and miraculously one showed up yesterday morning. How kewl is that!!!
