I wear mine all the time, every day of the week. looking at your wrist is so much more convienient than constantly getting your phone out, but then I never use my mobile phone, and its usually out of charge.
I've worn a watch since I was in Elementary School. It's a hell of a lot more convenient that looking at a phone, since I just need to look down at my wrist instead of getting it out of my pocket.
I'm wearing my watch like that from now on. Thanks for that.silver wolf009 said:Me... I wear mine like Artyom...
Like this see:
I have one but the battery died and I'm pretty lazy when it comes to looking up the size and replacing it. One of my roommates has one she uses often, the other wears hers constantly.
I wouldn't say they're outdated at all. They're unisex (yeah, they do make specific for each gender too), and come in a myriad of sizes, shapes, styles, and functionalities. You can even get an analog watch for your kid and make him have to know how to read a real clock instead of just convenient numbers.
Lots of people don't have cell phones. In some classes and places you're not allowed to have them on, so you wouldn't be able to check the time. They also run out of battery significantly more rapidly. I have a personal issue with how bright the back light is at night or when I'm watching a presentation or something, people KNOW you have a phone and it mars your night vision for a time.
Also, if you're working with your hands, it's often more convenient to just look at your wrist instead of breaking the flow of what you're doing to stop, pull out your cell from wherever it's at, and turn on the display, then put it back and resume.

I used to, until I misplaced my watch. It took me a year to find it, and apparently, the strap dissolved in bleach that somehow got on it.
It's a really nice watch though. One of these days, I'll find the right replacement strap.

I wear one on a regular basis. Being the backwards caveman I am, I barely use my phone for calling people, and only ever bother checking the time to see if my watch is getting fast. Also, I can't physically wear it with the watch face on the outside of my wrist anymore.
I wear a standard, crappy, 15? digital Casio one.
1)I prefer digital over analog. I dunno, analog ones just look so damn ugly to me. Yes, even the ridiculously expensive ones.
2)I'm rather obsessive about checking the time. I have to keep checking every few minutes, or I end up feeling uneasy.
3)I've worn one for so freaking long, I feel weird without one. Like part of me is missing.

I also have bad luck with watches. I break any watch I get(not on pourpose, mind you) my hands on. XD Somehow, I broke a waterproof watch... by getting water inside it.
I wear one and found it has a few advantages:
-First off working to deadlines, who wants to be fishing in their pocket to see how much longer you have to write (especially when writing by hand)
-My watch has a solar cell in it which charges the battery, so while my phone (come mp3 player) dies I can still tell the time
-Don't know if I'm alone here but muggers/theives have a nice little trick; "Excuse me do you have the time?" then they either get to see if you are worth mugging/stealing from or simply snatch it off you, looking at a watch gives them neither opportunity.
-Finally it does make things such as a formal suit look better, especially when attending important interviews, the glimpse of a watch beneath the jacket sleeve has a certain air of professionalism.
Basically watches are significantly superior to phones for telling time, which is hardly surprising seeing as thats what they are designed to be.
