Do You Wear A Wrist Watch?

Featured Replies

If so why? This does not apply to people who are traveling or working, but to the normal tourist or expat. :rolleyes:

No wristwatch. Battery died and never replaced it.

Not anymore. I have a couple of nice watches but the batteries seems to run out in no time here, just a few months vs. usually two years or more in Europe, and at some point I realized I always have my phone with me in case I should need to know the time for happy hour or 7/11's curfew hours :whistling:

Wear one when I'm outdoors and strangely enough in bed too. In bed I wear it to check time during the night as I'm a poor sleeper and don't want to wake the wife up turning on the light. Two reasons I have one on when I go out: I feel strange without one, almost naked ;) and secondly, it's good to keep an eye on how much time I spend doing absolutely nothing :whistling:

No, l don't even know what day it is, let alone the time. :huh:

Yes, mostly when going out, like to know what time it is :whistling: and it's convenient... Which is what I thought the purpose of a watch was :huh: ?

Don't have to worry about batteries as it's kinetic.. Just wear a few hours per day all is well..

I know the feeling. :lol:

Only when I go out :jap:

Not for the last 25 years.

No. I have a phone. Don't see the point in wearing one

I never wear one, old technology which isn't required any more.

No. Messes up my tan. biggrin.gif

Ditto B)

I haven't worn a time-piece of any sort for 20 + years.

Had to stop wearing them here it itched so bad under the strap. Otherwise I would wear one.

Care to elaborate on this? :rolleyes:

Sorry, I seeI’m out of cool here, but yes! Why, I like watches, Ok so I don’t wear onearound the house, but when I go out……They are the most elegant thing about me.

Gave my Rolex to my brother this year. Hadn't worn it for several years here.

Everybody carries a cell phone, no need for a watch, UNLESS it's one of those Lao '' Rolex '' ones to make you feel a million dollars eh. :D

My phone's a pain in the ass to take out of my case every time I want to check the time and I'd never invite a possible attack over a pretentious, fake Rolex, Seiko suits me just fine..

I used to have this problem too, must have a good quality metal strap for good air circulation and prevents allergies..

Phobia is fear of something, I think you're trying to say he has an obsession..

I agree though probably best to take the watch off while sleeping, more comfortable all around..

I'm deeply touched by your concern gentlemen. Heart warming indeed :rolleyes: I feel it's my duty to attempt slumber without the psychological watch prop ;) Full report to follow in the AM

Finally, an excellent question that almost precludes antagonistic answers! Well done, Semper.

ANSWER: No, I'm too busy having fun and I don't have the time to put one on. :blink:

Never had one and do'nt need one.

When your an old bugger you can usually tell by the position of the sun in the sky.. I can usually guess any time of day within a 15 minute time frame.

Can't seem to do the same when back home for some reason tho :huh:
