Poll: Who WEARS wrist watches anymore?

[Draksila]

Personally, I don't have a cell phone. I'm always either at work or at home, so if I'm not in either of those places I really don't want anyone bothering me. Ergo, I wear a watch.

 

[Creator002]

I feel naked if I don't put my watch on before I go out. It was given to me for my 18th birthday as well, so it holds some memories.

I was reminded of this watching the LRR about synchronizing time. Why would people even wear these things? They look and feel as outdated as a 'cell phone' the size of a toaster.

Conclusion: Old people are the only ones who wear wrist watches.

Edit: It ate my poll, oh well.

I wear a touch screen watch which has all sorts of fun doodads with it.

OT: Love Dresden Codak and your avatar.

 

[Direwolf750]

I do. They are still convenient, I like them, I personally I don't see why more people don't.

 

[Hashime]

Me... I wear mine like Artyom...

Like this see:

I found a Russian dive watch on ebay like that one. I so wish I could justify the cost of buying it.

 

[Hashime]

I would...

If I didn't have to take it off every morning for swimming.
Also, I'd break it unless it was made of something seriously heavy-duty.

Maybe a Casio G-Shock would work? They're pretty solid, to the point that it kinda feels like I'd kill someone if I hit them with it.

The G-shock 150m series is suitable for continuous immersion up to about 5m, and the 200m series is suitable for deep water (SCUBA) diving. In reality the deepest one ever really dives is 40m, but the 30-50-100-150-200m standards refer to the quality of the seals and the crown / button / back plate materials.

I didn't wear a watch for a while after the awesome one my godparent's bought me for my 18th became a bit old and scratched. Just used cell for time. BUT my girlfriend bought me this really nice expensive Fossil watch for my bday this year so now I wear a watch again. It's nice.

I don't really like to wear any jewelry. No earrings, rings, or bracelets. So just the feel of something around my wrist is annoying and uncomfortable. I usually end up taking it off ten to twenty minutes after I put it on. So, no. I don't use one. I use mah cellphone.

 

[Jessta]

I used to, but it gave me a really bad sore on my wrist so I tore off the part that kept the wrist watch on my watch, tied a string to it, the other end to me awesome coat, and thus the 'what time is it' feature was added to my awesome coat in order to keep my flash light, dice, music, internet sorry redundancy, snack food, emergency money, stabby stabby and thumb drive features company. now all I need is a hood and I'm SET for anything, I also have a roll of duct tape and bits of string in the there because those are incredibly multipurpose.

 

[Saelune]

If I had a stylish one, not the crappy sport watch I have, then yes. But I dont have a cellphone, and my iPod is inaccurate because I havent synched it with my comp in forever.

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

I own one but I don't actually wear it. It could be because the battery died. Or maybe because the last one I had got stolen, not sure which it is.

 

[philzibit]

I always wear a watch. It's called style.

I think you'll find that like glasses, people will continue to wear wrist watches for two reasons: price and style. Cheap ones are cheaper than cell phones, they can be lost, damaged or replaced or used on a budget. Expensive ones are classy accents that make you look sophisticated. You might be right about there being an age requirement. You probably have to reach a point where a suit looks good to you to want to wear one. That said, doesn't sound like they're going to die out anytime soon.

Like he said, btw that was an awesome album.

Should I be surprised that a man who admires Gene Starwind is covered in hidden utility items?

 

[Denos]

I would wear one, but i tend to lose them, but if i did have one it would have to be analog, and look classy.

I wear one every day. I have three, an 80 Seiko Diver, a Tag Heuer Grand Carrera and Monaco. Wristwatches are awesome! Mechanical wristwatches, doubly so.

 

[DragonChi]

I actually don't feel right (when I go out) without a watch on my wrist, It bothers me. Don't ask me why. I guess I'm just weird. The one I have is very stylish though. It's Black and Silver, and it's made from ROOTS Athletics. They always have REALLY stylish well made watches.

 

[Lykon]

I was given my dad's wrist watch for my 21st birthday, after he died when I was 12. so not only is the watch practical, its sentimental

 

[thefabulousvaati]

I had a wrist watch once, but then I lost it at a club in Japan.THIS IS WHY I CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!

 

[s0p0g]

one of my friends does not, everyone else, coworkers, most of people i see on the street, and including me, of course wear wrist-watches.

 

[Custard_Angel]

I have a watch that I wear when I go out because my girlfriend bought it for me.

Apart from that I have a phone.

I never wear my watch in everyday situations.
