Do you wear a watch every day?

Dooom

Always have a rolex on. It's real. Honest.
Never haven't worn a watch, feels weird not having one.

Nalz

Nope

Had an awful habit of putting it in my phoca when I was younger, before the mobiles were on the scene. Wrists arent the biggest either and they always pulls my arm hairs!

The phone for reading the time does me. Dont see watches as that much of a dressy icon

true, but you don't have two things to worry about losing.

I have no idea how someone could manage to lose a watch, and I've never lost a phone, so it's not something that concerns me greatly

My watch never comes off my wrist, ever.

Think I'm one of a few people that wears their watch on the underside of their wrist with the buckle/clasp pointing up. Prefer it like that.

Only wear a watch at work but minute I'm in the door off it goes

monkeyfudge

I use a pocket watch actually, anyone else?

I always forget to wind it though as I'm not too interested in recording the passage of time as it reminds me of my own mortality.

Oh ****! I was supposed to be in the office over an hour ago!

Buy a strap.:) Never liked the metal bracelet ones myself. They only really work if you've wrists like fenceposts.

I suppose they're one of the few items of jewelery a man can wear without looking too daft.

My other watch cost €500. I don't wear it any more as I have started to wear silver and it doesn't match. I do take my watch off at times during work. It depends on what I'm doing at the time.

I wear one every day, for the time and date.
I take it off in the Summer though.

I never wear a watch, ever. Phone/System clock does the job no problem.

I always wear my watch, one of those remote control ones that can control tvs. I use it to mess with tvs when I'm drunk in a pub.

I love turning off a telly with a match on, especially when the pub is full of braying Liverpool fans. I usually wait for a tense moment, like a penalty, before doing it. I've caused a few near-riots and no-one ever suspects me.

I also get a great kick out of changing channels to something that has a sex scene on and then turning the volume right up as some chick orgasms. This is particularly funny in an old man's pub.

Yes, I know, I'm a git, but it keeps me amused.

Always wear a watch and have done so since I was a kid. Feels weird without it. Goes on first thing in the morning and comes off last thing at night (and when doing work where there is a contamination risk).

You obviously know what exact time these scenes are going to be on at? A pm wouldn't go a miss.:D

No, just use zee mobile is good enough.

simply sellotape your fone to your arm....job done!!

Good ol' RTE Guide is usually enough. If there's a film with Heather Graham on, go to the pub for it and any time you change over, there'll be some action. Thank you Heather, you're the best reason in the world to have a remote control watch.

I never wore a watch when I was younger but my mother bought me a nice one for Christmas 3 years ago and I've worn it since. I always use my watch when I don't wanna take out my phone (ya know, if in a dodgy area), and in work.

Feral Mutant

Back when I was in school, I had in on during the day (weren't allowed to have mobiles in school). Now that I'm in college I use my phone. I still use my watch for alarms though.
A few years ago my watch broke and I got a new one (or maybe the battery died, it was a cheap casio so it's easier to get a new one, can't remember which) I got one the exact same type and model as the last one. A year or two ago, that one's strap broke. Again, I got the same one to replace it.

fish-head

I love watches, I always feel a bit naked without one on.

mike65

I hav'nt worn one for about 15 years. Got clocks on the wall in the car/van/phone why wear one?

Mike.

Could you not have bought five?

Sad Professor

I used to always were a watch but not much anymore. Odd time maybe. I just use my phone now. I never wore my watch around the house anyway so it just seems like an extra thing to have to remember/grab when going out.

KamiKazi

i have my watch on almost 24/7, only take it off when im having a shower.
feel naked without it

Rb

I wear a watch most of the time. Never in the shower or in bed though.

The battery died in it recently though, haven't had a chance to replace it and it feels a bit odd not having it on my arm at the mo!
Its an old-ish watch though, would love to get a new one sometime soon.

Manic Moran

Always wear one. Sometimes take it off for showers or sex.

It's a hell of a lot quicker for me to swivel my wrist a fraction and glance at the hands than to reach down, flip up the 'phone, and read the numbers. Oh, and I work in IT too.

I have a nice, simple $40 dual analogue/digital Casio. It amazes me that people will spend $200+ on a G-Shock or some other such large, flashy watch that does absolutely nothing more than tell the time. ("Dress" watches are excepted from this rant). My little $40 thing has lasted me through tank school and a year in Iraq, if it lasted through that lot, I can't think of any reason for the extra expense for an "Even more solid" watch.

Strap's needed replacing once, though.
