Do you wear a watch?

_blank_

I don't.

I find that wearing anything like this highly irritating.

Rings, a watch, anything around my neck etc etc.

I specifically ask about watches, because they seem, to me, to be a bit unnecessary in today's world, no?

Mobile phones have in-built clocks. I use my mobile like an old-style pocket watch tbh. Most every computer has a clock display in the corner somewhere. Sky News, and the like, constantly display the time. As does the "TV Guide" button on digital TV systems.

So, do you wear a watch?

chopperbyrne

A poll perhaps?

I don't wear a watch.

Any watch I've ever owned, I've taken the strap off and used as a pocket watch anyway.

Phantasm

Like you, I enjoy the naked feeling of living a bling-free life.

I used to wear a watch until the strap thing broke, but it was just a pain to have around anyways.

I wear the odd ring now and then, though.

Steve_o

I wear a watch, taking your phone outta your pocket to check the time is an annoyance, especially if your sitting down ansd wearing jeans...watches FTW.

Rob_l

I haven't worn a watch in about 5 years maybe more but yet every birthday or christmas is another chance for people to buy me more watchs i wont wear.

Holsten

I used to wear my watch every day, all the time, without fail.

Then it broke and I never got it fixed, that was about 3 years ago, havent worn one since.

I think the mobile phone has replaced the watch, well for me anyway.

token56

I wear one only because I use it for when I am out running, things like hearth rate monitor, stop watch, lap memory etc. Oh and I use it as a second or third alarm depending

biko

Occasionally - whenever I wear a suit.
Otherwise the phone is all I need.

Ruu_Old

I wear one at work to keep track of my activity log. Not allowed carry my phone around.

Dave!

Nah I haven't worn a watch in years really... I also find it irritating, and used to take it off when on the computer, etc. Now I just look at my phone if I need the time and I'm out somewhere.

Captain Ginger

Nope, since at work I'm always sitting at a PC and when I'm not here I always have my phone on me.

Not really a fan of having things I don't need.

it keeps an eye on activity and lets you know when you need to 'drop a log'?
cool watch.

The Bollox

I haven't worn a watch in 3 years. I have been kinda meaning to get myself a new one, but I couldn't really be arsed. I like having a watch, but it would hurt my wrist while on the computer for some reason. anyway like most other people on the thread I just use my phone, but it can get a bit irksome

bennyx_o

Used to always wear one, but it broke and I never got it replaced. Use my phone now, but it can be come an annoyance when you're wearing jeans as Steve_o said

Jigsaw

I wear a quite heavy bracelet watch.

It's the gentleman's way tbh.

humanji

I live in Dublin which is swarming with Johnny Foreigner and the working class, and so stopping and taking out my phone to see the time would only invite them to ravish me and steal my shiny valuables. Therefore, it is best for me to have a watch that I can look at while swinging my cane at the huddled masses.

Never, hate watches - always felt to heavy on my wrist.

I do have a couple of festival wristbands on my wirst though;)

aren't watches just a fasion statment now though, not really used to tell the time, but just to look good?

Yes, they are a fashion statement.......in the same way that wearing festival wristbands are.

This is why we need a 'thank you' button in AH. Quality post.

On Topic: Every watch i have ever owned has been lost as a result of taking it off to wash my hands and walking off without it. Every single one.

MuPpItJoCkEy

Haven't worn a watch in over a decade now. Never really liked watches although when I was a kid, I loved that calculator watch. Anyone remember them yokes!

You're right here. I do wear a watch, but if it broke, I'd probably not buy another.

Dragan

About 50% of the time i will have a watch on. I like them myself but they can be annoying at times.

OrangeDaisy

Always wear a watch....it's the one i got for my confirmation and i'm really attached to it!! It has a picture on the dial that shows the sun for day and stars and moon at night

I don't wear a watch and I don't see the point of wearing one.

Quality

This is my watch, I always wear it.:D

Apart from when I am cleaning or swimming!

The G Child

Watches are the ultimate accessory. So, you can get the time on phones etc, but its still handier to look at a watch. A nice watch just looks classy on your wrist, so they serve 2 purposes, telling the time and looking good. Plus, less likely to run out of power than a phone.

Clink

Nope don't wear a watch. I can't stand the feeling of having something on my wrist. Plus when I used to wear one I'd get obsessive looking at the time every 2minutes.

I hate being in the company of someone who keeps looking at their watch too :rolleyes:

Nichololas

Same as the OP - don't like wearing watches or anything else like it. I don't wear glasses even though I need them because I found them more distracting than anything. Contacts ftw..

Defenestrate

I always wear a watch, I'm very much into timekeeping and punctuality.

Reku

Yes. Phone batteries die a lot more regularly than watch batteries.

boneless

I feel naked without my watch. I have a cheap old MilTec which seems to have an everlasting battery. Handier than taking out the cell phone all the time in my opinion.

PeadarofAodh

Never used to wear a watch until about a year ago - now I find it indispensable during training - rowing and cycling are hardly easy sports to be able to whip a phone out and check the time. Tend to wear it 24/7 now

I'm exactly the same way. I can't wear watches, jewelry or anything else like that. It annoys the hell out of me.

Ginger

Always a watch ...

Either this one or a heavier one.

Dont like light watches..

Creature

I always wear a watch, have done so since I was a kid and always will do. I don't use my phone that much and don't always take it out with me.

Le_Sabotage

Not for many a year. Just use my phone.

Keano

I am a total saddo going by most posts

I have a watch for everyday wear (swatch) and one that I wear at the weekends.
Got another one a few years back that I also wear now and then.

WEST

I always wear a watch. If I do forget it, my hand feels weird. I hate having to take out my phone and unlock it just to check the time.

Ginny

No watches, bracelets or rings, they annoy me when I type.

Jay P

I likes watches. I can't not wear one because I have a tan line from it. Oh the shame!

Ross_Mahon

I use my phone for the time,reminders, and the date if i somehow forget. I think the only reason to wear a watch is to show off or your old school, the phone pretty much does everything.

echosound

I wear a watch. Didn't for years, just used the mobile to check the time, but found that it is far easier to take a sneaky peek at a watch if you're attending something very dull rather than whipping out a mobile every 20 seconds to see if you've put in enough time to be able to leave without appearing overly rude.

Riddle101

Yeah i wear a watch although i take it off as soon as i get home and sometimes forget to put it on.

But i always wear it when i go out for a night in the town because it stylish

Creamy Goodness

only on special ocassions, my wrists are constantly resting on the desk at work and that scratches the watch clasp and i don't want that to happen.

_feedback_

Yeah I wear a watch all the time..

Ha! Remember the ones with the universal TV remotes on them?! We used to have great craic in school if we were watching a video!

5starpool

I'm a watch wearer, but I take it off at night or if I am just lounging around the house watching telly/whatever. The longest I have gone without wearing a watch is about a month I tihnk when I was too lazy to get the strap replaced.

Kold

I don't like things on my veins.

Xavi6

Always wear one. Only on the left hand. I don't trust people who wear a watch on their right hand.

If I wore one, it'd be on my right because I'm left handed.

r3nu4l

The only times I don't wear a watch are in bed or in the shower.

Oh and I don't wear one when I'm interrogating someone because:

a) it's hard to get the blood out
b) it aids in sensory deprivation if they have no idea how long they've been suspended from the meat-hook in the ceiling.

Mossy Monk

I do not partake in the wearing of a watch.

Gavin "shels"

I nearly always wear a watch, easier than taking the phone out of the pocket and unlocking it.:D

I'm right-handed and wear my watch on my right wrist.:eek:
