Watches, how do you wear yours?

[trollnystan]

I used to wear a watch but then it ran out of batteries and I never did figure out how to change watch-batteries. Also people were always asking me what time it was because they knew I had a watch, instead of taking out their phones. Darn them...

But when I wore it, I had it on my RIGHT wrist - this always shocks people for some reason, but I'm left handed damn it - with the face on the back of my wrist. Opposite of how you have it that is, OP.

I wear mine on my right wrist, facing away from me when I'm standing with my hands by my sides.

 

[Crazy Zaul]

Haven't worn a watch for yonks. Thought they were obsolete now cos everyone uses phones.

 

[Roofstone]

Got a pocket watch, black silver. <3 So.. I wear it in my pocket.

 

[thiosk]

unused thanks to the wonders of the Smartphone.

The pocketwatch has returned, and it has more functions than even a 100,000 dollar watch.

 

[MordinSolus]

I wear mine on my right wrist, clock side on the top of my arm. Everyone tells me that since I'm right handed, I should wear it on my left wrist, but it feels weird.

I wear a silver Seiko solar powered watch on my left wrist facing upwards- wearing it on the reverse side is a bit effeminate.

I don't think mobiles have made watches redundant, watches, and by that i mean the expensive ones, do have an aesthetic quality that mobile phones can't replace.

people who wear pocket watches are probably in the top 5 worst kind of nerds

 

[Cowabungaa]

Uh, just regular I guess, on my left wrist.

I have a pocket watch I carry. There is no substitute for that kind of awesome.

If I ever get a jacket I'll so get one of those.

Excuse me?

Despite being a right handed dude, I also wear my watch on that wrist. Odd habit that I picked up years ago. Seems normal to me but other people seem to become bemused by it.

Excuse me?

anti-theists and my little pony fans are obviously the top 2, but there's a lot of overlap and I can't think of any others that would push pocket watchers out of the #3 slot

 

[WarDialler]

I don't need a watch, I have an implant on my optic nerve that overlays my vision with a rudimentary heads up display which has the time in the bottom right hand corner....


ok I lied, I'm right handed and I wear a green seiko chrono on my right wrist facing out. I can't stand wearing a watch on my left wrist, it feels unnatural.

I don't get all this Hurr Durr I have no watch I has phone lol being bandied about. I want to know the time, I look at my wrist. I don't have to go rooting through pockets for my berry. I dont have to unlock it or take it out of a holster or anything. It's just there. on my wrist. aaah Convenience.

I would like a nice pocket watch but they all seem to be garish and gold like good fountain pens. SOmebody give me a nice SILVER pocket watch!

This calls for a:

I mean really, pocket watches?

in my pocket... on my phone. =]

 

[AD-Stu]

Haven't bothered to wear one in years - always having a phone in my pocket made having a watch as well seem kind of redundant. Really they're just man-bling these days.

When I did need to wear one for telling the time, it was on my right wrist with the face on the palm side. Because I'm special.

 

[Rin Little]

If I wear a watch it's usually face is on the inside of my wrist. Otherwise I use the good ol' cellular phone to get the time of day.

 

[babinro]

Seeing as I haven't entered the cell phone age yet, a watch is actually useful to me still.

I remove the bands off any watch I own and keep it in my pocket.

 

[Formica Archonis]

Top side left wrist.

Bottom side left wrist is my ground strap.

Wish they were on one strap.

I came into this thread preparing to bring up how much I really want a nice pocket watch, and was totally expecting no one else who was into them. I love it when I'm wrong.
