Mid-40s and nearly always - not in the shower, nor when asleep, nor when working with power tools.
I find it instinctive to look at my wrist for the time - and much faster than pulling my phone out and turning it on.
Wow. That’s a massive way to overthink it. Start by not using a carrier 
Then, just pull it out of your pocket whilst pressing down the unlock screen button, check screen and slip back in pocket. My hand hardly leaves my side and it is done in seconds. You make it sounds like it requires a military operation.
Compared to a turn of the wrist? It is. 
My $12 wristwatch is a much more convenient timepiece than my $10 cell phone. There’s a reason most people abandoned pocket watches.
Because I carry a mobile phone anyway, and it’s one less thing to deal with.
You first have to grab the sleeve and pull it up. You may even have to remove your coat. Then turn the wrist, hoping that the watch itself hasn’t been pushed round to a place you can’t quite see. Then you have to make sure there isn’t light beaming down from on high like an alien invasion force.
Either that or they’re both really, really easy.
I collect automatic watches as a hobby and I’m always wearing one of them.
Am I allowed to ask what a manual watch is and how an automatic one differs from it?
An automatic watch is self winding using your arm motion.
I did when I had a need to tell time. I don’t now, so no.
I don’t like using a cellphone for telling time, but I do understand why people do: the inconvenience of having two different things to remember is greater than the inconvenience of having to pull something out of their pocket. I avoided this by not having a cellphone–I couldn’t justify the expense.
I wear a pocketwatch instead. Haven’t worn a wristwatch since 1988.
I haven’t wore one since my last one died, probably 6 or 7 years ago. Before that, I was a daily watch wearer. Now, of course, I have my phone, an accurate clock in my vehicle, an accurate clock on my computer, laptop, and iPad. It’s never hard to know what the time is.
Cheers.
This is why for me, too. At least on the pulse and respirations, not the fancy-schmancy cryosurgery bit.
Mine is set to 24-hour time, and I’m always amazed when people try to catch a glance at my watch to see the time, and have to ask me, “What’s wrong with your watch? Why does it say 23:45? That’s not a time!”
Yep. Something just feels “off” when I don’t have it on.
I just turned 51, and I seldom wear a watch.
FWIW, I think this is the first time in my life that I have been able to choose the oldest category in a poll.
That makes me feel really old.
I’m 25.
I have a Swiss Army automatic chronograph that I wear pretty much 24/7, except in the shower.
It is great. It is much more convenient to simply look at my wrist than dig my phone out of my pocket, press the wake button, check the time, and put it back. Plus, analog displays are much more mentally efficient to read than digital displays - I would never both to wear a digital watch.
The chronograph feature is great too, for timing everyday things (like grilling or cooking times). It takes a split second to start the timer on my watch, as opposed to about 20 seconds to start the timer on my phone.
Plus, I think the design and engineering that goes into mechanical watches is super cool. Mine has a glass case back so I can see the workings of it when I take it off.
I normally do not care about expensive luxury items, but I could definitely see myself paying big money (tens of thousands of dollars) for a really nice watch. Not for something where you’re paying for the brand name or pointless “luxury” materials (what the hell is “rose gold” anyway?), but for some old Swiss guy to assemble it over the course of a month.
Forgot to add - in my mind, a beautiful, hand-crafted, well-engineered, intricate mechanical watch is a kind of artwork that far surpasses anything Picasso, Rembrandt, or any other painter ever did.
EDIT: Here’s the back of my dream watch, at a mere $65,000 or so - a Lange Datograph.
Female, 34. Never. I stopped wearing a watch right around the time I graduated from college.
Female, 38, I have a few different formal watches that I wear on occasions when checking my phone for the time would be inappropriate, like when I’m doing a wedding, but I’d never wear a watch every day any more. They feel like burdens on my wrist.
I also have an upside down watch-on-a-pin that I wear when I’m attending a birth. Opaque gloves (and birth goop) make wristwatches impractical but knowing the time during a birth is kind of important.
I haven’t worn a watch since about 1964. (my Mickey Mouse watch, which I still have)
