Do you wear a watch? (Poll)

[corn18]

I wear one 24/7. But sitting in the Detroit airport watching hundreds of people walk by, I have observed that only about 40% are wearing a watch. That surprised me. I guess the smart phone is replacing the wrist watch. Tom

I stopped wearing a watch years ago and depend on my cellphone now when I need to know the time and there isn't a clock visible.

Same here. I haven't worn a watch in years.

If I don't swim or run, then I won't be wearing a watch these days.

Twice in the last week I lifted my arm to look at my watch, even though I haven't worn a watch in the last four years. I don't see many people wearing them.

I haven't worn a watch ever since I got a cell phone, which I'm sure was 15 years ago. I wear a Fitbit, but the model I have doesn't have a clock on it. Although, it feels like I should be able to look and sometimes I catch myself looking at it for the time.

Interestingly, I'm the opposite.... I was never able to wear a watch growing up, because they were always too bulky, heavy, and uncomfortable. In college I found the Skagen watch company, which produces a variety of thin, lightweight watches that I grew to love. I've owned 4 since then, and still have 3 of them. Sadly all three are out of commission & in for repairs at the moment (2 my fault, 1 an overused metal wristband)... But I look forward to wearing them all regularly again. In the meantime, I do have a Citizen that I've grown into wearing daily. Had I not broken my distaste for watches with the Skagens, to this day I wouldn't be able to wear a watch consistently.

I wear a watch everyday and it's the same watch I've for the last 20+ years now. I'll be very sad when this watch finally kicks it. =(

Yep, feels weird if I happen to forget it.
I'm a big fan of the cheap Timex Indiglo watches. Have had expensive watches and scratch them up, etc., plus they don't seem to be any more durable or reliable. Last Timex made it about 8 years, current one is 3 years old.

I've always worn watches, mostly as jewelry that happens to have a function. A few months ago, my mom bought me an Apple Watch for my birthday. I always swore I wasn't getting a smartwatch till they had holographic displays so they could be smaller and look better on my wrist, but I decided to give it a try and found it to be pretty useful. My mom loves it because the haptic notifications mean I don't miss her calls and texts anymore. I like it being able to check the weather without pulling out my phone, and I like having my fitness tracker built into my watch.

I used to wear a inexpensive watch I purchased from a Boeing gift shop after a tour. It had a feature on it that I liked (it had an airplane on the sweep second hand. ). But, after I retired I stopped wearing a watch. I now depend on my iPhone for the time.

I hadn't worn a watch for maybe 20+ years, but two months ago I won a Fit Bit watch at work. It gives the time plus tracks my health. But I would not wear a plain watch again.

I'm really surprised by the results so far (50-50). I would have bet the No's would have been firmly in the lead.

I still wear a watch. Lately I'm been wearing a Casio digital since I've been remodeling my kitchen, and have an older Kenneth Cole watch. Both of these are 7+ years old, each worth less than probably $70 new, and were gifts.

While I hate the look of gold, my Mom gave an older Waltham pocket watch that was her grandfathers, which she had restored. I try to wear that for family events, since its so sentimental to her, than me. That would be the only piece of "jewelry" I own.

The only jewelry I wear is my wedding band and I don't have a choice about that.
