Do you wear a watch?

[DonkeyDan]

Do you still wear a watch, or just rely on your phone for the time?
Do you wear a traditional watch or a smart watch?
Maybe you used to wear one and don't anymore.
Have you never worn a watch?
I've always worn a watch since childhood and currently use a smart watch. Just interested to see how many people still wear watches.

It's nice to see that people do still wear a watch and that traditional watches are still common. I do like to wear a nice traditional watch if I'm dressing up to go somewhere nice.

I wore watches. I wear traditional ones for work because I needed something analog. I switch between those and my "regular" watch, which is a Fitbit. I'm considering an Apple watch, or some higher end watches... but they're really expensive. I found a beautiful watch years ago, but no one could read it besides me, since it was in Roman numerals - they'd read the watch upside down. Ideally, I try to find simple analog watches with easy to read numbers.

When I was much younger, I wanted a Mickey Mouse watch, with the watch hands as his hands. So I periodically search for those, trying to find a style that I like, but so far... eh. Plus, I'm not always so sure about wearing those types of things as an adult, as some people are stuck in the "anything fun means immature and unprofessional." "If he wears a Mickey watch, I don't want him working for me!"

[hahahmm]

I tried fitbit but it's too annoying how often it needs to be re-charged and it only keeps time if you have the app! So if you leave it disconnected for a long time and power it up it has some random time/date on it. Yeah, it works if you're using the apps tuff all the time tho.

[ChrisMaster69]

Used to, however 19 months of lockdown and not really needed it, I have a watch case with unworn watches lol.

On a positive note the autowinders work

[DonkeyDan]

Yeah got to say it's only the last couple of months I've been wearing mine every day again.

[ChrisMaster69]

@DonkeyDan it’s been warm today so going without.

I was riding yesterday so wore one so I knew what time we had to head back,

[ChrisMaster69]

@DonkeyDan thank you for MHG most appreciated

[Blackcupcake]

I've never worn a watch for what it's made for hahah
I'll wear it as an accessory if it goes with my outfit and when I need to check the time I just look at my phone, and it's not even intentional I just genuinely forget about the watch lol😂😂

[PrettyPriya]

Yep! Tells me when I am lazy. In fact, it recently hinted I should get off my ass and out of g@g.

naturally, I have ignored it. 😕

[DonkeyDan]

@PrettyPriya
I've stopped mine telling me to constantly get up and move, it can mind its own frinkin business 🤣

[SecretsofKB]

@PrettyPriya that's the whole reason I you my watch... to ignore it completely lol

[PrettyPriya]

Lol I love I got mhg for this one! 🥰❤️

[MCheetah]

Yes, I wear a digital Casio Illuminator that also tells the time in the East Coast US time zone, and I use it everyday. Time is important to me, and taking out a smartphone and turning it on from sleep mode, is too much of a hassle just to check the time.

I've very rarely seen women wear watches, though.

[NamerOfStars]

My phone is a PHONE. Not a leash. Not a tracking device. It almost never leaves the house, and then it's in a Faraday cage (or pouch, someday, if I can make one that works). And I wear my watch on my RIGHT wrist, like right-handed people should, because the need to wind your watch ceased to be a factor years before I was born (that why people wore them on their left wrists; the dial was on the right, and you couldn't wind it if you couldn't see what you were doing).

[t-8900]

Yes I wear business watches, ring, bracelet, and cross necklace. I've read that many women like a man who accessorizes appropriately to compliment his outfits, with a good cologne, and confident demeanor. I've taken that to heart. And as the days pass by and I get closer to getting my business degree the more I want to start dressing like a businessman with suit and tie.

[dustybiker]

I wear tiny necklace watches. Easiest/fastest to check on a bike with full gear. Was thinking about getting an Apple Watch, but not worth the hassle. My phone is usually stuffed into a tight pocket or backpack and with gloves is a hassle.

[Rachelspiks]

I've got an analogue watch, which I don't really wear all that often, simply because most of the time I just don't need to know the time. I don't have a "smart" phone either, because I just don't need one.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Traditional Watch, ... at least as it only shows time and date. But its made of some kind of paper, so not traditional in these regards.

[Apulu_02]

I know weird for a girl but I prefer a black watch from men section. Because black one of women section is kind of lame for me. Don't mind me I know my fashion sense is weird.

[AudreyV92]

Yes, I wear a Nixon 51-30 Chrono everyday

[mobiusforniner]

I used to wear nice watches. But I always bang em against a wall, drop them, or otherwise destroy them within two years. So now, it's a Walmart $5 special and it works great.

[IAMNathanael]

For sure. My watch is pretty much part of my arm.

[Cherry234]

I don't wear a watch anymore. I rely on my phone to find out the time. If I wore a watch again I would want to wear a smart watch

[Flower7]

I’ve been trying to get back into wearing watches. I bought a few of them recently but keep forgetting to put them on.

[Iron_Man]

Yes my Rolex watch but it got ripped off In a house robbery

[DonkeyDan]

Man that sucks

[Iron_Man]

I know

[Mac-One]

Prefer a traditional analog or digital watch without any specialized functions; except possibly day/date.

[EmmaMary]

I have several traditional watches that I wear on a daily basis.

[Sarairocketship]

I wore watches when I was small. But I'm in the market for a watch now.

[MTC29]

Because of the phone, I've stopped wearing a wrist watch.

[Passion_Devil]

Never did. I don't see the point, having a phone around or having clocks around me so often

[JennBITx]

I wear a smart watch, but want a real one to separate myself from all of the electronics

[IncognitoBandito]

I have a watch though, to be honest, I never seem to be anyplace where there isn't a digital clock readout or actual clock to check the time.

[UnknownGagsUser]

I own a few but I’m not really a watch wearing person

[jamesgoldman]

I wear a traditional watch, my TAG Heuer is 39 now so very beaten up and ready to be retired

[najekim]

I have a simple Casio that I wear when being extra casual. When I wear "nicer" clothes I have a watch from MVMT I wear.

[Twalli]

It's digital and has the date and day of the week, but other than that it's a traditional one. My previous one just broke. No time, no nothing.

[HannWilliams321]

I usually wear an analogue watch but I switched to a fit bit after being diagnosed with breast cancer and I needed to track my health. I recommend fitbits! Cheap and reliable!

[LindaT1974]

Traditional watch when I go out, Apple Watch at work xx

[EaterPeter]

Smart watch or fitness tracker. Like traditional watch more.

[EaterPeter]

I wear fitness tracker mostly.

[SmokinAces2000]

I wear watches sometimes but it’s not for telling time it’s just for style

[888theGreat]

No, I sell them. Cell phones killed the watch industry

[Asianguy123]

I got Casio retro watch. It helps a lot. I am tired of smart watch that I have to charge it every single day. My watch has better lasting 10 years

[Rachel599771]

Yes i love wearing watchess😍😍😍all kinds of watches

[ChloeStarlight]

I wear an Apple Watch

[anniisa97]

Are they even worth it?

[ChloeStarlight]

@anniisa97 yeah if you actually use them

[DonkeyDan]

I've got a Samsung watch and I make good use of it. It's only really worth it if you're going to use the features mainly for fitness tracking etc. If just for the time it's not worth it.

[anniisa97]

Hmm, I might look into it. Would you guys say the watch help motivate you in a way? Or make fitness easier/more fun?

[ChloeStarlight]

@anniisa97 not for me, I only got it cuz it’s apple

[DonkeyDan]

@anniisa97
Yes I would say it motivates me, you can see tangible statistics as to your activity and decide if you need to step it up a gear, or if the activity you are doing is giving you the results you were expecting.

[anniisa97]

Can't your phone do that for you too? Like tracking steps and stuff? What's the difference?

Sorry if im asking too many questions lol, I'm just interested

[DonkeyDan]

Yeah it can do steps but I don't have my phone on me every second of the day. There are a lot of other things like heart rate blood oxygen and blood pressure. Also easy way to track exercise routines without having to do anything just automatically knows what you are doing. Also sleep tracking and lots of other every day things.

[anniisa97]

I see. Yeah looks like it could be handy, thanks for your time.

[Kdizzle85]

I grew up with a traditional one.

[dreamstar72]

No because they are a waste of time

[karaspara]

I wear a normal watch but not all the time

[ChrisMaster69]

@karaspara yeah losing a watch of your wrist….

[karaspara]

@ChrisMaster69 @DonkeyDan it's funny cos when people ask me the time I automatically look at my wrist whether i'm wearing a watch or not lol

[karaspara]

@chrismaster69 And there will be no account deleting thankyou very much

[ChrisMaster69]

@karaspara do they here a quiet ticking when standing next to you?

[ChrisMaster69]

@karaspara lol that’s actually a different question.

[karaspara]

@ChrisMaster69 Yeah IRA 😂

[ChrisMaster69]

@karaspara i was thinking more 👊🤜🐈

[karaspara]

@ChrisMaster69 Ha I know exactly what you were thinking 😂

[ChrisMaster69]

@karaspara you know the crocodile in Peter Pan…. Tick tock tock tock

[karaspara]

@ChrisMaster69 Yeah well Captain Hook shouldn't have tried to have some slap n tickle with a crocodile

[ChrisMaster69]

@karaspara yeah fucker lost his hand, who said they never had teeth.

Bet you he was trying it on with Tinkerbell, it’s well known fairies have teeth..
