Do you still wear a wristwatch?

[DamnFineBob]

It seems like wristwatches are going out of style now that we all have cellphones clipped to our waists that also tell time. Do you still use a wristwatch?

You can select multiple choice on the poll, BTW.

 

[Austin]

Yep

 

[ngollehe]

Yup, looking to upgrade considering I chipped the crystal next to the outer bezel recently.

 

[Chevyguy]

Nope, just look at the cell phone. Haven't worn a watch since 1995

I rather forget my pants than my Citizen.

 

[azmark]

Always

 

[_MementoMori_]

Yes. I will never stop wearing a wristwatch.

It doesn't hurt that I hate cellphones passionately.

 

[Crixus]

I do. A Swiss made Wenger. Tough as nails.

I'm proud to say that in nearly sixty years, there has NEVER been a digital watch strapped to my wrist. I got my first watch as a lad while Dwight Eisenhower was still in office. Went through a 5-6 year period in the 1970s when I did not wear a watch, but other than that, I had the time. On me.

I have heard that many younger folks don't, because of their phone--or do so only as an accessory and not for its original intent. I guess someday it will be a tradition for fathers to pass along their cell phones to their sons.

During the summer, I really dont like to wear a watch since im dressed a bit more casual for the summer heat. But ill throw on my Tag Hauer every once in awhile.

But since its getting colder out, Im dressing a little nicer. So the Panerai and the Baume and Mercier get thrown into the mix.

 

[xillion]

You bet.

 

[stoutreader]

I carry two cell phones and am around GPS sync'd clocks most of the day and I still always wear a wristwatch. I wouldn't be caught dead without my handkerchief either so I may be a bit old fashioned.

 

[BigRich]

Yes. I will never stop wearing a wristwatch.

Same here. I don't even tell people I have a cellphone. I only carry it when my wife or daughter might need to get a hold of me. The rest of the world can wait until I get to the office or get home.


Although, if Verizon came out with an iPhone...

 

[Dave in the basement]

Most of the time, for me. I like the little splash of style they provide. I only have a few, but hope to buy a couple more in the coming year. I need a nice black one that won't break the bank.

The only time I don't wear a wristwatch is when I'm bathing, sleeping, swimming, or doing something so messy that I don't want it to ruin a watch...even a cheap Timex.

 

[Zephyr]

Of course, how should I else be able to tell what time it is?
I wear a analog Festina, that have served me well the last ten years.

 

[RCC]

I view a mechanical wristwatch as jewelry. (No batteries please)

 

[Rossmeister]

To be honest, people who pull up their mobile phones constantly in the company of others to check for time, messages and whatnot strike me as extremely rude.

I've worn a wristwatch since my parents gave me one when I learned to tell time.

 

[BladeRunner001]

I feel naked without one

 

[bananaman]

Recently started to wear one again. I had stopped for over 2 years, and just used my phone to tell time.

I realized that it was more about telling time to me. I enjoy the weight on my left wrist, and it is the only piece of jewelry that I wear all the time.

In short, I just enjoy it.

Every day. Kenneth Cole for work and special occasions. Nixon Scout for afterhours, camping, etc.
