Do you wear a watch?

I love watches, but I go back and forth with them. I notice at work, under 30, no watch. Over 30, watch. But, I don't know if that is universal.

Just wondering.

    Only on special occasions, although I do have several. I mostly wear them as an accessory rather than a timepiece. I am always surrounded by clocks....plus my phone tells me the time. :)

    I used to have a serious addiction, but I've tapered it down a lot since cell phones seem to do a better job.

    While traveling, I noticed my cell would just auto adjust to the local time, where I had to manually adjust my watch. I thought, how awesome is my cell, and how lame is my watch? Just an observation. However, when the power goes out and the cell towers fail, the watch wins.

    I'm lost without mine. Granted, my phone usually tells me the time, but I still love my Wenger Swiss Army watch. (annnnnnd I'm over 30...)

    Just use my cell phone... :)

    Just a side note I think of once in awhile.. remember growing up and the teacher would always say.. that you couldn't use a calculator because she said you wouldn't carry one around when you were older.....

    Well... I guess she was wrong too.. because my phone has one... :laugh:

    Over 30 and watch all the way. Feels wrong if I forget to put it back on.

    I have noticed a quick NSV, have had to change the notch I use this last week.

    It is the only jewellery I wear, apart from my wedding ring.

    I wore a watch pretty much every day until sometime in college. The only reason I took it off then was because it bothered me when I had to type papers - hitting the keyboard and such. I've never gotten back in the habit for long since then. I still have 4 (i admit, 2 need new batteries).

    The few times i've worn them recently is when I work out (my HRM) and the cruises we went on this last year since when we were on the islands we had to stay on "ships time" and wearing a watch was easier than having to remember what time zone we were in.

    Ok, the age thing wasn't serious. I've just heard many times in the media that people under 30 just aren't wearing watches. But, my 9-year-old son wants one sooooo bad. It made me think. Lol.

    Under 30, definitely have multiple watches... you can't stand between a girl and her Fossil (even though I've downgraded lately) :bigsmile:

    I definitely wear a watch - feel lost without it. I don't keep my phone on me at all times so that's not an option.

    My husband has six or seven watches that he rotates.

    I think buying and using my HRM watch has kind of got me back into it. I'm wearing my Rolex right now as I type. :-)

    38 y/o & no watch. I've got a cell phone, computer, desk phone and wall clock all telling me how little time I have to do what I need to do. One more screaming reminder of my hectic world is not necessary.

    Over 30 - an yes I wear a watch.

    Only because I do not carry my cell phone on my person, it is in my purse,which is not always with me. I would not wear my watch if I always carried my cell phone on me.

    I did when I had a custom made Red Monkey leather watch, but after it died, haven't worn one since; probably 5 years or so.

    So, some of you wear your HRM watches all the time? I was wondering about that. Hmmmm.
