mstribling Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 No wristwatch. Battery died and never replaced it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUDAS Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 No, l don't even know what day it is, let alone the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarpSpeed Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Yes, mostly when going out, like to know what time it is and it's convenient... Which is what I thought the purpose of a watch was ? Don't have to worry about batteries as it's kinetic.. Just wear a few hours per day all is well.. Edited May 3, 2011 by WarpSpeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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..

norwayeagle Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 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 Hi Judas Seriously ,i bet you would have slept like a Child if you left your watch in the sink I have some experience my Chap ,so please listen: Forget the watch and all will be ok!! Me? no wear ,me have mobile Ps: You have a phobia, WristwatchOPhobia hehehe.Stay Cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzieovaseas Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
