Poll: Who WEARS wrist watches anymore?

[Eclectic Dreck]

I use a watch for a few reasons. First, it's easier than pulling out my phone and, perhaps more importantly, it gives me something to fidget with.

 

[skcseth]

I do! Mandatory uniform item on deployment.

 

[Scout Tactical]

Oh lawdy. The OP must be too young to have a job.

Yes, I wear a wrist watch. It looks stylish and professional, and it also is more practical than wrestling my phone out of my pocket to check the time.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

I only use either a pocket watch or my MP3 player.

 

[AWC Viper]

I always wear my watch. Force of habit from Cadets. Always carry my lighter, watch and a knife/multitool.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

I don't need a wristwatch,my phone can tell the time just fine.

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

I wear a wrist watch every day. I don't care that my cellphone has a clock in it, it's much simpler to look at my wrist than it is to fish my cellphone out of my pocket.

A wrist watch can also be pretty useful if you're an outdoorsy type and like to go hiking, since you can use a watch as a compass if you ever get lost.

 

[ViaticalTarsier]

Some of us just like being well dressed and a nice looking watch can be a nice addition to a mans wardrobe.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

I don't even have a watch. I use my cell phone or the clocks in the subway stations/tram stations to tell the time.

The answer is simple.

For Men, Gentlemen. For Women, Ladies.

... and for you, your Boss.

My watch is comfortable, versatile, and never runs out of battery. I'm wearing it right now. I like my wrist watch, and to me, relying on a cellphone seems a bit silly and less convenient than simply wearing a watch.

Given there's nine pages before me, chances are somebody said exactly this, verbatim. Yay...

I always have a watch on, I've always worn one. It's just easier to look at my wrist than fish out my phone all the time. And besides, even people who do have phones always ask for the time anyway.

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

I use one because I can't take out my phone blatantly in class and look at the time.

Besides, stylish ones make you look cool.

 

[Ziadaine_v1legacy]

I still wear mine, actually adds class to your appearance depending on the style watch. This is mine

Spoiler

it's a inventory essential for me, along with my mobile, wallet, lighter and keys.

 

[Kingjackl]

I love wrist watches. I wear my digital, water-proof $20 everywhere!

That said, analog watvhes seem to be coming back in...

 

[jonyboy13]

Social status. Yet another accessory to show off. Maybe a family treasure or something like that. Any other reason is quite stupid.

 

[MurderousToaster]

I wear a wrist watch because I want to know what the time is when there's not a clock around. I'm not the sort of person who carries a phone or whatever around at all times. And even if there is a clock or if I have another device that tells the time, it's simply more convenient.

 

[NaramSuen]

Not only do most people I know wear a wristwatch, but they also have different watches which they wear with different outfits or to fit their mood. A wristwatch has a number of advantages over using your mobile as a timepiece. In addition to being a fashion accessory, you can casually check the time far more discretely by glancing at your wrist than you can by hauling out your phone. Also, it increases the chances of an attractive stranger asking you the time by 100%.

If my friends didn't wear it, I wouldn't know the time for a good amount of the school day.

It's generally for when you're going to school, most people have cell-phones nowadays but I say wrist-watches make you look[sub]rich[/sub]smart and organized.
