Do you wear a watch?
When I was younger I wore one everyday, but now I don't even think about it because I have my phone. But I've been considering wearing a watch again for convenience and was curious how many people still wear them...

Your bag is way too big to find a phone in there.  |

I do. I feel naked without one. Obviously the time is on my phone but I just think a watch is something a man should wear. Plus, I actually have in interest in them, like some people do cars, etc. |

I never put my phone in my bag. Because I use it to check the time it's always in my pocket or my hand. Gets tedious, actually.  |

Until 2 years ago I always wore a watch.
Always.
Could not live without it.
Then I just stopped . I don't wear one at all ( except as a bit of " jewellery" when I am wearing a suit).
And don't miss it. ( but I still get the "wrist twitch" if someone asks me the time).
Have to admit, though, I do keep looking at apple watches .... |

You need to get one of those funny gadgets that go on your wrist that give you an indication of the time. I think they also pick up your phone messages too now. |

I don't wear a watch for the same reason as you op
Everyone has a mobile these days and it's on there... I think watches are a bit old fashioned but apparently they're fashionable again. |

I think thats why most of us wear them tbe. The time is absolutely everywhere, I just think you look more adult wearing one, especially in work suit. |

"I haven't bought a watch for about 15 years, But I did get a great looking one for free by mistake 
Did the alarms not go off when you left the shop?"
No I returned one that was broke and they refunded me but also sent I new one a few days later

Haven't worn a watch for years, felt liberating not to be obsessed with 'what time is it'. Over the last year I've started wearing my Mums just because it was hers,still use my phone to check the time though. |

I've never liked them..I don't like the feel of stuff on my wrists. I hate when my festival work pass is in the form of a wristband (They get cut off no sooner than I've left site for the last time) Same with any jewellery really. Can't abide rings on my fingers or watches or neck chains or anything like that at all. |

Yeah, I actually get annoyed when I wear a bracelet because I can't stand them on my arms. I never had an issue when I wore a watch, though. Strange. |

Must be that a watch doesn't disappear half way up your forearm I guess.
I'm just like that with anything on my arm or hands and things. I don't know why. |

Christmas 2014. A watch received and it was the first one I had or worn in many a year. 6 months later and I broke it. Never had it fixed or replaced.
This thread has spurred me on to do just that |

"I would feel lost without my watch 
Try a compass.
You can use a watch as a compass.
Not a digital one though.
Unless it has a built in compass "
That's a good point. Get a built in compass watch. You can tell the time and do some orienteering, and not just on Sundays. |

I want a watch with a wire saw as well so I can do surviving when I'm outside effectively finding my way about |

I think you want a Swiss Army Knife. Other nations army knives are available. |

I can't go out without putting a watch on. If I'm not wearing one, I feel like I'm under dressed. I also prefer not to keep checking my phone for the time. |
