I used to when I took public transit and needed to know the exact time. Now I never do – most of my day is in front of the computer so the time is right there.
I preferred a Timex analog with Indiglo for my wrist. But once I discovered watches you can hang from a beltloop, that became my preference.
Timex Expedition I had my last one for at least ten years, but the metal finally started to degrade, so I bought this one: cheap, durable and accurate. And it’s back-lit.
I always wear a watch. For the past few years I have had cheap watches from Target. I love them. Round face, large black numbers, leather strap. I don’t think I have ever had a digital watch.
A few years ago I was teaching an elementary Russian language class and we were covering the topic of telling time. I said to my students, “Now look at your watches” and they all stared at me as though I were insane. None of them had a wristwatch. I have never felt such a clear generational divide (nor have I ever felt so old). Most college students just don’t wear watches anymore but I hadn’t really noticed until then.
Yep, and I use it daily. I’m a home health nurse, and when I count heartbeats, I need something to tell me when 15 or 60 second are up. Lots of people don’t have clocks on their walls anymore, so I wear one on my wrist.
I can always tell which new hires I’m precepting come from home health. The hospital nurses start to listen, panic, and then have to stop what they’re doing to go find their phones.

When I was ten, by dad asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I said, ‘I want a watch!’ So he let me.
I can’t stand wearing things. Watches. Jewelry. Pants.
I have a watch. If I want to know the time, I look at my wrist. This takes about a second.
I could use my phone, but that entails
This takes ten seconds if all goes well.
So the watch is a superior way to tell the time. Just because a technology is new doesn’t mean it’s better.
I have to push a button. The display would drain the battery too quickly. The battery is rechargeable via USB.
I only ever wear a wristwatch on airline flights and at the movie theater (where I’m checking the amount of time between the official movie start and the actual movie start; usually fifteen minutes of previews and such).
Used to, when I was out of the house more. Had a Seiko pilot’s chrono that was something of an heirloom (I’m having it restored for my son). Have a nice all-titanium Skagen that I wear for summers and vacation - hardly weighs anything and the titanium is always comfortable against my skin because its heat convection is so fast.
I wear my good watch when I dress up (== nice shirt, most days), a Breitling chrono. It’s titanium as well, but so much of it that heat convection doesn’t mean much. 
That’s exactly what I’ve been wearing for maybe 7 or 8 years now. Best watch I’ve ever had. Always exact, hardly a scratch on either the glass or on the band, long battery life and a cool classic seventies design to boot. I don’t think I spent more than 70 Euros for it; that’s about the amount I’ve maximally spent on every watch I’ve had before, but the Timex was the best investment of all. I don’t think any other watch I’ve had lasted so long.
I haven’t worn a watch on my wrist in well over a decade. I use a pocket watch. It lives in a pouch on my belt.
I have a solar-powered Citizen Ecodrive watch that I wear every day. I’m not sure I actually use it very often (I mostly just look at the clock on my computer when I’m at my desk), but I’d feel odd without it.
I am currently wearing a Seiko SARB017. I have a nice little collection of Seiko automatics including a sweet mid 70’s automatic Chronograph that was the first chronograph to go into outer space.
I like the workmanship and the feeling of a purely mechanical object on my wrist. It’s also a fashion choice for me.
I may pick up a Suunto ABC watch for summer activities.
I wear the watch I received for my 21st birthday (I’m now almost 68). It is a self-winding analog watch. It never needs its battery changed and never needs to be wound. I wear it virtually 24 hours a day. Though it’s water resistant, I do take it off to swim or shower and for some sports activities. I do wear it to bed.
It is much faster (and less obtrusive to others) to check the time by looking at my wrist than consulting my phone. I wouldn’t be without one.
I suppose I might as well add that I have four mechanical clocks in my house. A weight-driven grandfathers clock (originally purchased in 1911 by my grandfather) and three spring driven clocks. All of them chime the hour.
$30 talking atomic watch worn except when I’m in water (except rain).
That’s my watch too. Radio syncs to the atomic clock. Hardly ever off my wrist. To bed, in shower, in the pool … Use it every day - like WhyNot need the second hand in my work. And use it to tell the time.
I wear a wristwatch … and it LIES to me … it is NOT Monday January 29th … lying piece of shit …
Always.
But the sad thing is that as a runner, the Apple Watch fits so well in my lifestyle that it took over and my Swiss watches only come out for church and special occasions.
When I go to church I usually wear the Omega Speedmaster Professional “Moon Watch”, known for being the first watch worn on the moon. Mine was manufactured in 1976 and has been maintained to perfection by diligent Omega watch technicians at an absurd cost. I tend to alternate that watch with the Rolex Submariner, and equally beautiful timepiece.
Unfortunately, the Seamaster Pro Chrono has stopped keeping time, meaning it will need to go to Omega for a >$500 servicing, and I’m not quite ready for that.
Alas, these beautiful watches sit in the winder box waiting for their day in the sun because the Apple Watch is just so darned useful.
ETA: Hey MikeG, which one was the “sweet mid 70’s automatic Chronograph that was the first chronograph to go into outer space”? I know about the Speedmaster Pro being first on the moon, but wasn’t aware of the other watches in space.
Only when I am traveling abroad. Never at home. If I’m planning a trip and I can’t find one that works, I go to Walmart and get one for ten bucks. Oh, I usually wear one when I take the bus to Walmat, too, because I know what time the bus leaves the store, and I can pace myself to not have to sit at the bus stop so long. But I’ve met a lot of interesting people at the bus stop, so I don’t mind waiting…
Last time I wore a watch daily was in 1996. Now, if I need to know what time it is and I’m not at home, I can ask somebody. Everybody has a phone, and most people are looking at it.
