Do you wear a watch?

[Patiod]

Poll question: Do you wear a watch?

Why? Why not?

[nickinSTL]

1. why? I always have

it drives me nuts to not know what time it is.

(I'm also one of the most punctual people on the planet)

[MemphisTiger]

3. Same here

it's like not wearing pants if I don't have my watch on, and I detest people being late

[Goldmund]

4. You know, it's funny

I always wear a watch and it also drives me nuts to not know what time it is.

But at the same time, I'm also one of the least punctual people on the planet.

I guess I use my watch to know how late I exactly am... :shrug:

2. No my cell phone has a clock on it.

But I never wore a watch before the advent of cell phones either.

[Reverend_Smitty]

5. Always

but I'm the person who shows up 5 minutes early to any place I go

[Napoleon Dynamite]

6. Never.. I don't like the tan lines I get

There are clocks everywhere anyway.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. I almost always wear one...Why?

I want to know what time it is, silly!

The only places I don't wear it are: In bed, in the shower, doing dishes...


:hi:

[ulysses]

8. yup.

digital Casio. Tarzhay special.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

9. A Rolex Presidente' if you don't mind.

:sarcasm:

16. 18kt Daytona for me please

[Crazy Guggenheim]

19. My my. I'll get some pictures.

[Rainbowreflect]

10. I can't wear one. Every time I wear a watch it stops.

My grandmother had the same problem.

[bridgit]

11. always, except to bed...

[Doctor_J]

12. I use my cell phone

no need for watch

[BikeWriter]

13. Hmm, as a retiree all my appointments are...

ones I'd rather avoid. I seldom wear a watch.

[Tyler Durden]

14. one of 3 21 jewel SEIKO series 5 automatics.

BEAUTIFUL self-winding, day-date with a crystal back. One for everyday, two different styles for dress.

They keep perfect time, are shock, water and magnetic proof, oyster case, the "Japanese ROLEX."

A watch to leave to one of your kids. I give them to relatives' kids as graduation presents.

However, if I'm feeling old fashioned, only one of my 19th century WALTHAM pocket watches will do.

[TX-RAT]

15. 24 hrs a day, same watch, it's damn near 30 yrs old

[youspeakmylanguage]

17. An old-school Casio G-Shock is the way to go...

I have a retro design in silver (rare). I love it to death, even if it's a big hunk of ugly plastic.

[trackfan]

18. Never. My wrists are too slim.

But I am very punctual. If I'm going to be somewhere where I won't otherwise have any access to the time (radio, other people, etc.) I will carry a watch in my pocket, if I currently have a working one.

[bertha katzenengel]

20. rarely - it's uncomfortable

[Patiod]

21. Almost never

I don't wear rings or bracelets either - don't like stuff on my hands.

Now, if I could ever find a vintage woman's sterling Cartier tank watch (sapphire cap on the stem), that I'd wear.

If I'm traveling, I'll pack one in an accessible pocket in my carryon...

[rbnyc]

22. Used to always--now almost never since...

...baby was born. It scratches him. :(

[Left_Winger]

23. I like my pocket watch...

as it belonged to my grandfather, stills works like a champ although it is mechanical and must be wound daily; and I also have my cell phone.

[tjwmason]

24. Always have one with me

But wear it as little as possible.

I hate having anything round my wrist, so whilst I'll wear a watch walking to work, it gets dumped on my computer even before I start making coffee once I get into work.

I have a couple of pocket watches too - but one can't really wear those from day-to-day.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

25. Yup - I'm like the White Rabbit

Always running about checking my watch. Clocks and calendars are all over my house. The only time I don't wear a watch is during law school exams and the bar exam; I took it off and propped it up on the table (for some reason it freaks me out to feel the watch on my wrist as I write under pressure).

[Saphire]

26. I am allergic to metals. Like the band, or the back of the watch.

Although gold doesn't seem to bother me, I can't afford it.

[Patiod]

29. Paint it with clear nail polish

I got a lovely Brighton tank watch as a gift, and I do wear it once in a while.

It made a watch-shaped welt on my wrist, but then I painted it with several coats of clear polish, and no problems. Have to repeat sometimes as it peels off, but no more welts.

[SarahB]

27. Only at work.

I need to take pulses and do respiratory rates. Other than that, I find them annoying.

[Blue-Jay]

28. I stopped wearing one about 6 years ago.

a) Because it bothered me.

b) Because clocks are everywhere. (at work, in the car,at home, on my cell phone)
