Weekend Open Forum: Do you still wear a watch?

Yes, timex is my favorite brand since my youth.
...plastic, cheap, and long life; cheap battery is easy to swap/replace.

Yep. Nothing like a knock-off Mont Blanc to impress people with the time!

But yes, I do wear a watch any time I leave the house. As others have said, it's easier to look at my wrist than to whip out my phone when someone wants the time.

I think the only piece of jewelry a man should have is a watch, I have an automatic Baume et Mercier and eventually would like to get another watch, is not really a tool but more of a accessory for me.

Yes I do still wear a watch .

I wore a Wayne Gretzky watch for a week in 1982.

I use watch for special events and it is automatic wristwatch which I don't worry about battery at all. I grew up with many watches, this is my last one (I hope) cause I keep replace battery and water got in. This is 30th watch.

Now I use my cellphone to check time.

Speaking of which, I can only wear a watch thats plastic (I hate plastic) and/or Stainless. The acids in my skin will make anything else corrode within six months.

Well, I'm older than 30 years... so yes I still wear a watch. I drag that dam smartphone with me everywhere I go, because I must given the terms of my employment contract. But when I want to know what time it is (quickly) I simply look at my 15 year $150 Seiko (analog read-out... digital is for children, and children wanting to be adults).

Funny, my 25 year old Casio is a digital watch. And until now, I've never heard anyone say digital was for children. Maybe thats why everyone wants HDTV, because they want to be adults.

"Maybe thats why everyone wants HDTV, because they want to be adults."

Don't know about that (had HDTV for the past 13 years... much of my adult life). But I'll take a quick glimpse at my wrist watch anytime over dragging that dam phone out.

I bought an all-steel Rolex 26 years ago. I wear it constantly and it still keeps perfect time.

I was wearing a watch until a month ago or so, when it stopped running, just a week after putting in a new battery. Since then, I watch clocks in my environment for telling the time. The computer is the easiest one, but on the street there are usually clocks around, although I have the impression that their number has dropped. Getting out my phone to check the time is a bit of a kludge, since I first need to press a button to activate the display and then wait for the "Press * to ..." message to disappear, as the message is positioned exactly on top of the time. Plus, my phone tends to run slow.

I do and I always will...power of habit.It only got bigger..

Dont use a watch since I retired. Only my wedding ring. Cheap cellphone. Dont need to be online all the time. Remember when life was so much simpler.

I have several watches in my dresser drawer, but I use only two. I inherited a beautiful, dainty little Bulova from an aunt. I wear that to formal occasions. For typical work days and everything else, I have a trusty steel and ceramic Tag Heuer.

Nope, not at all.

Lol no and the question even makes me laugh. Why carry a watch when I have a perfectly good and always accurate phone in my pocket?

I wear an Omega Constellation because:

1. It's a matching pair, was a wedding gift
2. It's automatic so if I don't wear it for a few days it stops
3. It actually looks awesome

A lot of the time I still end up looking at the time on my phone though...

I wear a titanium Seiko solar powered watch. It's got no cronograph, digital display or any of that crap. It tells me the time!

The only people I know who'll ditch their watch for a phone are I-Phone users and that's because they are either too dumb or too lazy to read a watch. Finally... I do have a fantastic Galaxy Nexus with an analog clock on lock screen.
