I always wear my cheap digital watch.

Firstly, I only carry a cell phone for work. When I'm around the house or out shopping/whatever I don't have it with me.

Secondly, it's so much faster and easier to glance at my wrist rather than pulling my phone from its holster, and turning on the display to see the time. I can also do it with my arms full or when my hands are busy doing other things (insert pervy joke here).

Having said all that, those watches are completely stupid.

I wear a watch. One with an analog dial. It's a much better visual representation of time than digital numbers, and I don't own a cellphone.

Closest I came to doing the whole "check cellphone to see time" thing is when I went out hunting this year and forgot my watch at home. Normally I have the display on my ham radio handheld display frequency and battery voltage, but I changed it to frequency and current time so I would know when to start walking out of the woods.

For most people watches are jewelry. Clock on your phone, on your computer, in your car....it's rare I see people that have watches actually use them for their intended purpose.

I can't believe how many of you nerds have cell phone holsters.

I have one built into all my pants. It's called a "pocket".

i just look down and to the right on the screen.

Work is pretty much the only place I regularly care about the time.

iPocket?

/stopped wearing a watch when i moved out here

//hot, like Mila Kunis

Humean_Nature: Anybody else a fan of pocket watches? My wife gave me one for a wedding present, and I love it.

I used to carry around a nice brass Mickey Mouse pocket watch. I really liked it, but the fob keeps wearing out and I haven't wanted to mess with it.

This. A holster came with my Otterbox case, and I immediately threw it out. Never, will I ever, wear one of those. They're as bad as socks with sandals.

I love watches. I only wear one, and I can't afford the watches I'd really like to wear. But Fossil is good enough for me. And not wearing it feels as weird as not wearing my rings.

My husband loves them. I think they are elegant.

I gave one to my husband on his first anniversary and he absolutely loves it. And it now makes buying presents easy every few years. "So, how do you like your new watch fob, honey?"

yeah +1 here.

Unfortunately is broken, has a little problem and gets stuck sometimes when getting to the middle of the hour because the hands for minutes and seconds get too close, I need to find a horologist, I guess I could try to fix it myself, the problem is simple enough, but I really don't want to mess with it.

mgshamster: gopher321: Yeah, that watch looks damn stupid, but I still choose a wristwatch over reaching into my pocket and pulling out a cellphone to find out the time.

I used to just use my phone for the time. Then I started riding a motorcycle, and it's really difficult to pull out my phone while flying down the highway or riding through the city. A wristwatch is much easier.

You know how I know you don't wear a jacket and gloves when you're riding?

I'll stick to my lightweight titanium Skagen for now thanks. Tho next time I'm on St Thomas I hope to have some extra funds to invest in a nice Movado. I do also have a cheap digital for times when I don't want to wear the nice one, but that's rare.

dittybopper: I wear a watch. One with an analog dial. It's a much better visual representation of time than digital numbers, and I don't own a cellphone.

I will only buy an analog watch. Can't stand the digital ones. And I don't carry my phone around with me everywhere I go. It's for my convenience, I'm not a slave to my phone.

i encourage everyone to stop wearing watches. It gives the few of us that do an air of class that you can't get from an ithing.

$90 for that? I doubt the electronics in it cost more than $20.

Who still wears watches on their wrist?

I carry a Victorian era pocket watch on a chain.
...And by pocket watch, I mean an iPhone.

/I also wear a monacle.
/with TWO lenses, cuz I'm that rich.

Love my Seiko Automatic. Cheap, far better resistance to scratches and bumps than my cellphone, and doesn't need to get taken out of my pocket to check the time.

Only drawbacks are setting the time when you forget to wear it for a couple of days, and setting up the date when there's a month with less than 31 days.

BKITU: Humean_Nature: Anybody else a fan of pocket watches? My wife gave me one for a wedding present, and I love it.

I had a gold one that I absolutely loved. Family heirloom. My grandfather and father both owned it. The fob had broken, though, so it was getting kind of embarrassing carrying it around with this old leather strap. Anyway, I needed money to buy a Christmas gift for my wife this year, so I ended up selling it. Got these beautiful tortoise-shell hair decs for her. She's got this super-long hair that's just gorgeous.

I hope she likes them. I wonder what she got for me.

-_-

/ what you did there
// I seen'd it

If you insist... wearing this right now, also possess a smartphone and do not wear an onion on my belt.

Bah...keyboard watch.

the new iPod Nano can be worn as a watch...and it has a touch screen.

Pfffft. Time is something made up by the Chronograph Consortium to sell timepieces. The sun is free! Wake up sheeple!

You eat at some very odd times.

I've had a Citizen 0850 EcoDrive Titanium watch for 10 years, it is waterproof, never needs a battery and always tells me the time with a glance, in that time I have had 7 cell phones none of witch were as reliable as my watch.

mgshamster: How can you tell? Because I actually do wear a jacket and gloves. I just tuck a bit of the glove and sleeve under the face of the watch, so I can see the watch face when I ride.

Really ? I just have a watch on my VFR's dashboard.
