Do you wear a watch?

[The Real Jdbye]

I never take off my watch, it feels like something's missing when I do.
Checking the time on your watch is pretty much the most convenient way to check the time, and much easier than pulling the phone out of your pocket just to check, so I think watches will stick around forever.
Cheap watches suck though - they either run too fast or too slow. I have a (not too expensive) Seiko watch (after having had 2 Swatch watches, one of which broke, and apparently they're unrepairable). Metal watches are the best.

I do not wear a watch and do not have a mobile phone or any other electrical device for time telling when out and about.

so how do you tell the time? Look at the sun and get a sun dial out? lolz Constantly asking people for the time? (that gets annoying fast) what if you are late for a meeting, how would you know that you are late?

No, but I'm planning on buying one because I'll need it as a teacher

 

[ZAFDeltaForce]

I've always worn watches since my old man gave me one when I was 5

I never take off my watches and even shower wearing them. They smell like soap

 

[zygie]

Yes, just a simple watch; Casio MTP-1239DJ

Beats pulling out my phone all the time. Plus, I'm used to wearing a watch everyday. My left wrist looks naked without it. And it was supposed to be my grandfather's, but he passed away before we could give it to him. So I guess it has some sentimental value to me.

 

[impizkit]

Here is my watch. I love watches and I dont like batteries so I use automatic watches.

It really depends on the person lol.
I personally see most women wearing on the right hand and men wearing on the left

.

I wear chain/bracelets on the right hand lol

Yeah I guess, person to person thing

But I hate it when cousins bash me for wearing on my right-hand where majority of women wear lol.

 

[Hachibei]

I wear a watch, partially for function, partially for fashion.

People say girls wear on the right hand while boys on the left hand?? Who makes these kinds of rules? I wear on the right since childhood

I've also heard people say this, and most of the girls I see with watches usually have it on their right, even if they're right handed.

I'm right handed, and I used to wear my watch on my right. Nowadays though I wear on my left.

You should wear how you feel comfortable lol.

Like I said, I wear bracelet/chain/armbands on the right hand.

My right hand feels kinda "light" if I dont wear anything

! BUT if I wear watch on the right hand, it kinda feels weird lol.

I used to wear a watch, then it fell apart after several years. Now I just use any random thing with a clock on it to tell time.

 

[Nujui]

Use to, but then it got too small so I stopped wearing it.

 

[.Chris]

Yes, I do. I use my iPod Nano 6Gen as my watch.

 

[impizkit]

Yes, I do. I use my iPod Nano 6Gen as my watch.

Strap it to your wrist, do you? I think it would be more considered a time piece than a watch if it is not on your wrist.

 

[GamerzInc]

Everyday. I even sleep in it.

I used to wear a watch when i went to school but now i don't really see a need for it as i could just whip out my phone. The next reason i don't wear a watch now is because the watch i have is pretty old and needs a battery and new watches (the ones i like) are pretty expensive. I'll probably start back to wear watches when i can afford a good one.

 

[chris888222]

I wear a gshock

Forgot the model... But it's an old one. Bought it last year

 

[Demonstryde]

i would wear a watch if it ticked to the time of the beat of the big bang... since time on earth is realative to earth, and most of my time is spent in my head dreaming of far off galaxy's and alternate/duplicate/multi-verses , i do not feel the need to wear a piece of clicking metal components(plus a Quarts).space case i may be, but knowing what time it is only matters if your late.. and i am never late.
P.S. if i did wear one it would be on my right hand, even though im right handed.

It appears me and mine live a carefree existence and tend not to worry about time for anything and if time must be measured it appears more empirical things are used- "I will be there mid morning", "I have some stuff do to for a couple of hours after lunch so appear after that", "I will be there first thing", "try and be there before the school run starts"..... Makes life easier- it is something of an expansion on the not dropping everything and leaving when an extra fifteen minutes might sort something properly.

As for the what hand thing I thought I was aware of most of the wives tales and such things but I have never heard that one. Indeed in my admittedly very poor sample/memory of such things handedness was not even a great indicator of what hand a watch might be worn on much less gender with it tending to be more based on what it restricted.

edit
"i would wear a watch if it ticked to the time of the beat of the big bang... plus related stuff"
Given time can vary with gravity speed and possibly even fundamental constants (see the formation of the electroweak interaction)...
Failing that it would be a huge number or one of such "precision" as to be somewhat pointless not to mention "time since the big bang" is effectively treated as a constant.
