I never got into wearing watches. I would be annoyed at having bulky piece of metal over my wrist. Plus, if I need to know the time, I use my phone, LOL.

No, I used to. But after starting to work out my wrists were getting bigger and it was a pain to readjust it all the time.

I never did enjoy wearing a watch when I was younger, and that was back when it was basically expected that everyone would wear a watch when they grew up. Having something on my wrist everyday is definitely not for me.

No, I cant take it. Very awkward. I sometimes carry a pocket watch. I like those. I don't need it as much these days because of cell phones.

a watch always feels like a bracelet to me so I am uncomfortable wearing one ... I had a mobile phone I used as a watch

but it was only after I couldnt use that anymore that I realised I had became a slave of the 'clock' ... becoming obssesed with timing every move and action to the Minute ... and to be honest I felt like watching at my phone was nothing more then lighting up a cigarette to have something in your hand you can 'hold on to' ...

No, I haven't for around 9 years. It just feels awkward now and I always have my phone anyway.

I can't remember the last time I wore a watch. I believe I stopped wearing one around the time I got my first cellphone. Also, I was weird when I wore a watch, because I was the only one I knew that wore the watch on my right hand (as I was right handed).

I can understand that. As a right handed person myself, having something on my left wrist but not my right would drive me nuts.

Almost always, I find it more convenient to check the time by slightly rotating my arm than to take out the phone from my pocket especially if I am in a crowded place.

I used to before I got a phone. Now I see no need because my phone tells the time.

No, hate them. TBH I hate clothes most of the time and would prefer to just wear something like a loincloth or toga, but society wouldn't like that...

I was given a watch once, I think from a coworker when I was accepted into college (during high school). I wore it out of respect for him, but eventually I got a cell phone and seeing as how I don't check the time more than a few times a day, a watch is a pointless burden on your wrist when you have something less noticeable in your pocket that serves the same purpose.

I understand watches are as much a fashion statement to some, and while I can understand that, it makes me hate watches even more. You could easily argue I am repulsed by watches.

I would totally be on board with pocket watches, though; I think they should make a comeback (but again, they won't, cuz cell phones).

yeah if I ever get "promoted" to a lab job at my work, I'd likely get a watch, or more likely a stop watch.

I used to for a long time but just kinda stopped.

I still have a fancy outdoors watch I wear for hiking trips that has a altimeter, barometer, thermometer and compass built in but apart from that my wrists remain unencumbered

I've tried wearing watches but they just get ripped off too easily. Last watch I had got screwed up by a tractor hitch while I was putting the mower on so I said screw it.

Cell phone is in my pocket, I can just whip it out to check the time.

No. I don't think I've ever even owned a watch. I just don't see the point. When I'm at home I have a clock in my living room, and even my oven, TV and computer have clocks on them, and when I'm out or at work I always have my phone on me.

Watches just seem so pointless, plus until you start getting to the expensive ones (like £100+), most are pretty ugly. Seems like a complete waste of money to spend £100+ on something that only does one thing when, like I said, that one thing is already done well enough, by multiple other devices that I own.

Me neither... and I think it's a waste of time to put it on and take it off too. Smartphones tell time better anyway.

I wear a watch everyday. I have a Timex Ironman, I love it because it does exactly what I want without the weight on my wrist. As someone that works in education it is amazing how valuable a wrist watch still is.

Everyday. Every single day.

I would like to get another one. I have one analog one and one digital one. I haven't used the digital one in years. The digital one has excellent battery life though. I think it is going on for 15 years without changing the battery, while my other one had to be replaced after 5 years.

I never used to, but as i got older its become more normal. I say it has to do with the occasion. Also even though cell phones have the time, its easier to just lift your wrist, then to have to dig into your pocket for your phone.

No I don't. Funny thing is I was out walking and some one asked me what time is it. I said I don't no don't have a watch on. They said so how do you tell the time . Same as you. True story.

Yes. Always. I'm used to it, it's more convenient for me, and goes well with office attire. Switched out my traditional watch for a pedometer that tracks activity and keeps time.

yup. i dont feel right going outside without it. its just handier for telling the time.

i dont think i will bother with a smart watch though. i like the old fashioned ones but i want to get one that winds itself up/recharges when you move so i dont have to replace the battery.

....not that its a big deal since a battery usually lasts 2-3 years :P.

Generally no. Though the strange thing is I have five of them that I've recieved as gifts for my Birthday or Christmas.

So I make an effort to wear one on special occassions.
