Yup. This is my watch:

…sorry…i’m…late…I…lost …track…of…the…time.
I wish I had a nice watch but I just never get round to buying one, also i’m so used to looking at my mobile that it probabley wouldn’t get used much.
I always wear a watch.
I have 80-90 watches, I collect them. I have all kinds, cheap, expensive, battery powered, solar, self-wind - which is powered by my movement, which is different than my kinetic, and wind-up.
Gold, Silver, various bands - leather, gold and silver metal. I just love watches.
I’ve had a number of watches throughout my youth. I started off with the little cheap ones when I was a kid. I had a Captain Planet water-powered watch at one point. Up until about two years ago, most of my watches were Wally World things that lasted (on average) six months.
Now I have a Casio Illuminator, and I’ve had it for the past two years or so. Timer, stopwatch, dual time, and water resistant to 50m. A good value for the price I paid for it (~$18).
I wear a Goofy watch from Disneyland. The numbers on the face are backwards, and the think ticks counterclockwise. If you looked in a mirror, it would look “correct.”
Everyone else thinks it’s strange. I love it.
Watches? Did someone say watches? I LOVE watches! I collect them, I only have about eight, but I aspire to reach Astro’s level.
One ov my faves has a “pi” symbol at the 12 oclock position, then it has “= 3.14159…” spiraling down the face. Got it at the Loo-vray when I was in Paris.
Another I like I picked up in the supermarket in Brug, Switzerland. I kept seeing it advertised on billboards and had to have it.
I got a Movado (that I have always wanted) in St. Thomas for $150 less than most jewelry stores wanted. Unfortunately, it needed to be repaired and that wiped out what I had saved a couple years later.
I prefer leather bands and chrome/silver bodies. Not a big gold or metal band fan.
I only go without when at home or working out. I wear my Timex Expedition swimming, boating and kneeboarding. Cheapo watch with a velcro band.
Oh, and for y’all that depend on others for the time - I always lie!

Not anymore, but I always have a time telling device with me.
Got my first watch in grade school when I learned to tell time. Wore it (and successors) 24 hours a day, except for bathing and swimming.
About 5 years ago my kids gave me a pocket watch and I switched to carrying it with me.
About 2 1/2 years ago I started carrying a Palm with me. It has a clock that displays with the press of a single button so I no longer need the watch.
No I don’t wear a watch. Time doesn’t really matter that much to me.
Thanks.
I used to, until I got tired of the watch band leaving marks on my skin. Now I just keep my watch in a pocket or (more likely) my knapsack. (of course I keep a close eye on the knapsack at all times)
My siblings think it’s weird, and ask why I just don’t wear it. Oh well. Time is relatively important to me… and I like to have an idea of the time when I go out, especially when I have to be somewhere around a certain time.

almost never.
I own a dressy little watch I’ve worn to interviews and the like where I need to know the time but don’t want to pull out my phone, which is how I usually tell time.
Don’t like the way it feels to wear watches or most jewelry.
I don’t wear a watch, or rather, I can’t wear a watch. Wristwatches have a tendancy to “die” on my arm. Over the years, I have owned several different brands of both cheap and expensive watches, analog and digital, and somewhere between 3 and 6 months, they just stop. No, I am not that ugly, nor do I break them in any way. They just quit. Despite new batteries, repairs, etc, most never run again. I now carry a pocket watch. It works.
I almost always wear a watch. But, first as a decoration, as jewelry, second as a time keeper.
It’s the only jewelry I wear. No rings (not even wedding), no necklaces, no earings, no tatoos.
So, it’s my only decorative vice. And, since it’s the only one, they’re pretty nice watches. Nothing that extravigant but, a couple hundred dollars a piece. I have a few.
It just looks good peeking out from a nice crisp long sleeve white shirt.
Results so far…
Yes (always, mostly): 38
No (never, rarely, palm pilot, etc.): 19
50/50: 8
Other (pocket watch, lost, etc.): 6
I love my old fashioned wind up skeleton pocket watch on a chain.
The only trouble is I learned to tell right and left by knowing my wristwatch was on my left. Now I get lost a lot but always know the time.
Heh, I’ve owned a few watches in my short lifetime, and I’ve always been horribly scatterbrained as to where I put them.:smack:Lessee… I have had a Lion King watch, a Powerpuff Girls watch that I could not get to work for the life of me, a star-shaped pocketwatch (my mom commandeered that one), a gold pocketwatch that I have not found since I was 12 or so, a silver wristwatch that I still have somewhere, and my current, a silver analog watch with a wristband made of red and clear glass beads. Speaking of which, I need to go find the bugger…walks away mumbling
Generally, if I get a watch, I’ll wear it until it breaks, or the battery dies, then I’ll go without one for a year or three. I adjust to the having/not having of one pretty quickly, only a week or so of checking an empty wrist or of forgetting to put it on in the morning.
Every single day. I only take it off to sleep or shower. I will wear it swimming though.
I used to wear a watch all the time. Digital. Since the band broke over a year ago, I now carry it in my pocket whenever I leave the house, since I am anal about being on time. I should at least get the band fixed or buy a new watch, but I am too lazy.
Not only am I too lazy to fix the band, but I just realized after hitting “Submit” that I like that the band is broken, because now I have a de facto pocket watch. Pocket watches are somewhat cooler and more interesting than wristwatches.
I wear a watch…from an assortment I have.
I take it off when I get home. Often, when visiting family, I take it off when I eat.
Some chick that dug me 12 years ago bought if for me (Tag Heuer). I always had nice watches. But damn, you’d think wearing a watch would give me some feeling for time!
I can’t believe it’s 12 years! I’m on my second battery and band.
