Do you wear a watch?

[cuafpr]

yep, though now its a garmin vivofit vs an actual watch.

 

[ForumMaster]

That's the watch i wear. Feel weird without it.

 

[John Connor]

I own a watch, but very rarely rare it.

Raring a watch you wouldn't get that much compression.

 

[AMD64Blondie]

Yup.Casio G-Shock for me.

 

[jessieqwert]

Yes, Timex Ironman

edit- also a Skagen and a Pebble depending on the situation

 

[Bateluer]

No, I have a smartphone.

 

[jessieqwert]

No, I have a smartphone.

That's good, the older dumbphones couldn't do that

My answer is a 2014 reply. Had I been asked in 2005, my answer would have been 'No, I have a cell phone.'

I own several Citizen Eco Drives that I rotate around daily.

 

[halik]

Yes, because I'm an adult.

I quit about three months ago realizing my phone was a near perfect alternative.

 

[stargazr]

No, could never get used to it.

 

[Meghan54]

I've worn watches most of my life and see no reason to quit. Much faster to read the time on a watch compared to digging out a phone.

 

[KeithTalent]

Yes, every day. Feel naked without it.

wow these m5 owners are a bunch of douches, i'm sure its some kind of inside joke but whats with the m3 hate? (no i don't own a m3)

but to answer the question: I wear a Tag Link if I'm getting dressed up, but 98% of the time I just use my iPhone

M3 and M5 owners are not fond of each other. Kinda like sibling rivalries but with cars.

 

[dighn]

yeah i like watches

 

[IGBT]

I use a casio G Shock Solar self setting radio watch. Most cost efficient watch on the market.

 

[NutBucket]

Yes, daily. Usually wear a G-Shock at work and nicer ones on the weekend.

 

[Dankk]

Yes, every day. Feel naked without it.

Same here. I've been wearing a watch every single day since elementary school. It's gotten to the point where it feels weird if I don't have one on.

People tell me that they don't wear a watch because they "already have a cell phone". I always laugh at them. Digging into your pocket, pulling out your phone, and turning on the screen to tell time is nowhere near as elegant as simply glancing at your wrist.

I've entertained the idea of buying a smartwatch, but there is something alluring about the physical presence of watch hands, sitting on top of a traditional mechanical movement. Especially in an automatic, where you can often see the rotor and the gears moving around inside the case.

More importantly, I don't have to plug in and charge a regular watch every 24 hrs (an idea which I find absurd)

Watches these days are for fashion not utility. I don't own a watch because fashion isn't important.

Nonsense.

 

[rommelrommel]

'Do woman wear watches?' Is this the new hipster look now? Only parents and teachers wear watches as far I'm concerned.

Huh???

 

[Remobz]

I have not worn watches since 2003 more or less. I see no need to buy one.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Nope.

Cell phones made the wrist watch completely obsolete. The only reason to wear one IMO is vanity.

I sit in front of a computer all day. Much faster to read the time by looking at the lower right corner of my screen.

Unless you work in a field that precludes carrying a phone, or where you may need your hands for other tasks, or you need to use some of the other functions that a watch is much more convenient for than a smartphone...

Then the answer is NO for me.

I rather spend money on a nice silver bracelet to compensate for the "nakedness" feeling.

Gold or silver bracelets have taken the place for watches on my hand for awhile now.
