"How Often Do You Wear a Watch?" Topic

Are watches antiquated now? Or do you have the latest digital watch?

* all the time
* most of the time
* some of the time
* rarely
* never

Just about all of the time. I like watches that have traditional watch faces. No digital for me.

All the time except when in bed. Like 79thPA I have a watch with a traditional dial.

Young people may rely on their mobile phones to tell the time.

All the time and traditional watch face.
I think I have a thing about perceiving time as chunks of a circle

Only wear a watch if I am going out for a formal evening – then it is a traditional dial

Into my 30s I did, but electronic devices it's pointless, phone can tell be any time on planet, set multiple alarms for the day.

Never

I wear a watch which monitors some of my life signs.

I sometimes use it to tell the time.

Never

I haven't wore a watch in 30 years. I use my cell phone to tell time. I'm 76 yeas old now and still going strong. Of course I have a lot of young people I game with.

Always while awake.

A few years ago my perfect watch was a Casio which was both Analogue and Digital, I have not been able to find a similar since its demise. But now I only need Analogue (traditional).

Still wear a watch. Traditional face. I have several and rotate through them, and keep them maintained (replace batteries, bands etc). Bought a new one a couple of years ago actually. I had some digital watches back in the 80s but all died eventually.

My children (boys 20 and 17 currently) have never been interested. They have cell phones and computers or look at clocks on the wall.

Everyday

Always! Never take one off unless I'm putting a different one on.

Since I retired 11 years ago never. Before retirement always.

When I retired the first time in 2004…to now…never.

P.

Never have.

Traditional watch, everyday. I prefer digital because it gives me more data.

Always unless I'm sleeping. Always analog, since a period in which I tried crossing the International Date Line with a digital.

Don't remember last time I wore a watch. I look at my phone for the time.

Never. I still own a watch and someday I will replace it's battery.

Rarely and only for special occasions (my wife bought me a fancy watch at auction) – mostly use my cell phone

All the time.

I haven't worn a watch in, probably, thirty years or so. I bought a pocket watch about 15 years back, and I still have it. Hardly use it, though.

Never. That's what my cell phone is for.

(Hated watches and all things contacting my skin all my life, so cell phones were a blessing. Exception is clothing.)

Always. A big luminous analogue so I know what time it is when I wake in the night.

Phones that tell the time? It'll never catch on.

Stopped as soon as I graduated from college and didn't need to worry about class times constantly.

Always did until the last one had it's band break( I am rough on watch bands). It's still working but sitting on work table( somewhere). My wife bought me a Fitbit a year ago. It's only really useful for being a watch and recording my weight. It doesn't think I am walking when pushing a grocery cart or my wife in her wheelchair.

Apple Watch everyday. Didn't think I'd like it when I first got it. I was wrong.

Sports watch. Wear it 24/7. And it talks to my phone so I'll never miss a call from my wife again.

Daily, so almost all the time. I wear an analog watch. I do use my phone for the date, though.

Except when charging.

Reading texts, taking calls, pulse ox, EKG, workout tracker, calendar, driving directions, it's indispensable.

Oh and it tells time: analog face of course

Most of the time – not when asleep, not when doing the dishes, not when painting figures…..

…but in normal awake time, most of the time. Standard watch for telling the time.

Can't stand having to get my mobile phone out just to check the time. So much quicker to just look at my wrist.

I wear an analog watch all of the time

I haven't worn a watch in a decade.

Damon.

So close to never that it may as well be.

Wore one during the Gulf War. The canvas band is stained with grease and oil, sweat, sand, and blood.
When the war ended I took it off.
I've never cleaned the band, and I never have worn it since then.
It sits in my cigar jewelry box along with some of my other mementos.
I've a couple of other watches that I don't wear, and I find myself favoring pocket watches now.

I used a pocket watch up to about 10 years ago when I got a flip phone. I ditched my pocket watch when it broke and I couldn't find a jeweler willing to try a repair. So I just used the flip phone and now a smart phone.

Wear a fitness tracker daily that tells time. I'll switch it out for a nice watch when I get dressed up.

Yes, everyday, all day.

When I was working every second counted. Now that I am retired 5 years my analog face watch is jewelry. I wear on those few occasions that I wear jewelry. A few times a year. Just as decoration. And it's not either fancy nor expensive.

Never since cell phones came around.

At home I rarely wear it. Away from home, always. I may forget to take my cell phone, but I very rarely forget my watch. I don't feel right without it. Never would I wear a digital watch.

Most of the time, I wear a watch. My favorite is a true one of a kind Mickey Mouse watch which I have the watercolor painting for by one of the Disney artists. It was then made into the watch. I have the only watch and the painting, and sadly the artist has passed.

I also have a collectible Mickey Mantle one, a CCCP paratrooper watch, a Lone Ranger collectible watch, a pocket watch from Versailles, and quite a few others.

I used to wear a nice one for work and when going out. I also had lower quality watches so I could time pulse and respiration rates when on EMS duty, but always was weary of wearing one when firefighting.

Now I no longer wear a watch and find that even if I want to on occasion, the battery is dead. My phones (one work and one personal) have replaced the need.

I own a few working watches (and a couple that don't work, but that have sentimental value).

I wear my late father's dial watch with Arabic numerals and a sweep second hand and no day/date or other extraneous stuff -- but only when it's possible that I won't get signal for my mobile phone or that my mobile phone batteries will run down.

That means that I only wear it when travelling to different countries and may not get sim cards for all of them, or when taking a long hike in a very remote place.

I wear a cheap digital watch all the time while I am awake, at night it is in the bedroom waiting to wake me with an alarm!

I haven't routinely worn a watch since 1991.

In the Navy, on a ship (an other places) a wristwatch (and a wedding ring, for that matter) are a safety hazard for certain evolutions. I wasn't really interested in putting it on and taking it off every fifteen minutes, so I just stopped wearing one. Also, on a US Navy ship, you know what time it is all the time.

My first XO told me, "We have all the time you want right here. We have chronometers (analog wall clock) that are maintained a couple times a day by the quartermasters, there is network time on the LAN, tactical time on the C2 networks, several digital clocks that show different relevant times in different time zones, and we ring the hour (that shippy bell ding-ding thing). But the only thing you need to tell the time is my ass. If you can see it, you're behind me and you're late."

Ever since, I have worked on an event-driven time system instead of a chronometer based one.

(When I went to the ship, I would leave my wedding ring with SWMBO.)

All the time except when sleeping.

All of the time (even when sleeping so the I can check the time if I wake up in the middle of the night). Than said, I rarely carry a cell phone unless I am on a long journey. Also, I have sent less than 10 text messages by phone in my lifetime and none of them that I can recall have been more than one sentence long. I think that is one reason I am happier than most people.
