Sadly the main reason is that I'd have to take it off and put it back on every time I go swimming training, for the exact reason that if I hit someone with it they would get hurt.Steppin Razor said:
Sure, I could do that, but I'd just end up losing it.
Hypocritical Humour, much?Skullkid4187 said:
On topic, I'm 29 and I wear a watch. I've been wearing the same brand of digital watches for the last twenty years, in fact. I think the main reason being that I like the user interface on Lorus watches.
As for mobile phones, while I do own one, I hardly ever use it, and never for checking the time.
I am wearing a watch right now, and have been for a long time... i also used to have a pocket watch on a chain, all i needed was a monacle
No one really wear them.... It is fact, why? Because we have time keeping devices called CELL PHONES
I got one to look more professional at work. Which is sad...because I'm a manager... at McDonald's...
I have an analog wrist-watch, and I wear it every day. I'm sixteen.
Who doesn't wear watches?
Cellphones, while they can tell the time, do not come close to replacing watches for me. For one, they have to be taken out of a purse -- which would quickly become annoying to do every instance I wanted to glance at the time.

I wear a watch. I half-got it for work as an effective means of telling the time, but really that's just what I keep telling myself... Its definitely more of an accessory, but its the only piece of jewelery that any self-respecting man would wear (aside from wedding band).
Story time: I was at a bar a while ago when conversation with some randoms sparked up about my watch, which was peaking out from my coat sleeve. Guy asks me, "Why are you wearing that?! Who ACTUALLY wears watches anymore? Unless you're some kind of Doctor or Pilot or something..." And I said, "Well yeah, I fly airplanes."
But he did have a good point. We looked around and not a single person aside from myself was wearing a watch... That's when it hit me that I was in a hipster bar. So, I asked the flannel-dressed thick glasses and beard man beside me, "What's up with that? How come nobody else is wearing a watch?" And this is what he says:
"Because nobody here wants to know the time... We come here to escape from time and schedules."
Eh, I always thought that was interesting.

I had worn a succession of cheapo watches, then I met my grandfather for the first time in memory. He regaled me with how he found a nice watch while shovelling out grain cars. He then gave my mom $100 and lectured me on how "every man needs a watch."
We went into town, and I pored over trays of elegant fancy watches, and selected the bulky, ugly digital Casio G-Shock DW-5600. (Warranty valid while rock-climbing, motorcross racing, rock-drill operation, and SCUBA diving (not using Helium-oxygen diving gear).) So, I didn't have to worry about bumping it into the counter, or wearing it in the shower.
When I brought it back and was showing it around, the other relatives quietly asked my parents if I had trouble seeing, since the numbers were so big.
Wore it 22 years until the cost of replacing the gaskets and rubber casing was about half of buying a new DW-5600, so I bought a new one.
I wear a watch. It has a stopwatch, countdown, alarm, dual-time zones, is partially solar powered, and is faster and easier to read than digging a cellphone out of my pocket. And it reminds me of my grandfather.
Cell phones do a lot of useful things. So do watches. Use either as you see fit.

I wear this sexy beast any time I leave the house.
Partially for fashion, but, it's also faster than taking out my phone and unlocking it, locking it and putting it back. And I need it for work. I need to be able to time heart rates, and times for diagnostic tests down to the second and my phone needs to be off during work (not that I'd be able to use it for that anyways).
I'm 22, for record keeping.

I wear a watch. Feels weird when I don't. I know people generally cary the time around on cell phones or iPods and a number of other things but I can tilt my wrist and know the time instead of pulling a phone out of my pocket, turning on the screen and then putting it back in my pocket.
I have a cheap watch, digital/analogue and a decent one, analogue, (and waterproof,) which I got for my 16th birthday. I need to replace the strap on my good one so I just use my cheap one at the moment.
I'm 23 so I'm not old either.
