Do you wear a watch?
or just use your phone?
I haven't worn a watch in a long time, mostly because I have issues with my wrists. But I wished I had one while traveling recently. are they necessities? . . . or accessories?

I never wear a watch. If you're not in a place where there's a clock to see, you don't need to know the time.
![]() That's my motto and it works well for me. I'm hardly ever late for anything either. In fact, most people say I'm the most punctual person they know.

I wore one from the time I was a kid until about 1997. Then I just used my pager, and now my cell phone.

I don't normally wear one. But I will be wearing one on my bike trip for the alarm.

I lose them all the time, so I voted sometimes.
When I know where one is, I usually wear one. My phone is an old POS. The time is always wrong. Nokia 5190, almost 7 years old...

I don't wear any jewelry. Also, I don't carry a purse.
The modern mobile phone gets its time from the network and is more accurate than any watch. I know mine is right, because I've compared its time to that of my Oregon Scientific WWVB-synchronized clocks. I will occasionally out-geek even hardcore geeks. |

I started wearing a watch this past fall--but only to classes. I take it off as soon as I get home. Real expensive, classy model---$14.99 at Meijer.

I wore a cute one I bought in San Diego, until it broke. I was out 10 bucks!
![]() I find that if I get into the habit of wearing one, I start to depend on it. If I don't wear one for a while I don't miss it. Shopping malls and casinos are the only places where they don't want you to know what time it is.

I found out this morning that April paid $30 for this Nike watch sitting next to me...totally not worth it, IMO.

I still have two of my old Swatches. I'd still wear them today if I were a watch-wearer.

I wear my Swatch sometimes, but I'm more used to checking my phone for the time.
