I never wear a watch. Watches annoy me.

Do people who carry cell phones wear a watch? If so, why?

Any watch in general or the wearing of something on your wrist? Cell phones annoy me.

watches do alot of things aside from telling time. also, a watch is the only tasteful bling a man can rock.

i find the action of flicking my wrist to see the time is quicker than reaching into my pockets.

that sounds a bit like a rhyme from some rap song.. "say kids what time is it?!!"

but yeah i hardly wear a watch unless i need to accessorize.

I don't like wearing anything on my wrist. I actually don't have a cell phone either. I just figured that a person who carries a cell phone wouldn't need to wear a watch.

I haven't worn a watch since one of those calculator ones when I was 9.

Sometimes I will see one and I'll think it looks cool and I'll want to get it for a brief moment, but then the feeling passes.

I was contemplating getting a pocket watch last week.

I couldn't cope without a watch, I have an OCD about being late.

I've got a nice cheap Casio watch day to day, and a Skyline GT-R anniversary watch for when I pretend I own one.

Back when I used to wear a crappy Casio digital watch that beeped on the hour, people could ask me what time it was and I could tell them without looking at it. I was rarely off by more than five minutes. I guess my mind was programmed by the watch.

I know a couple of teachers who work with middle school-aged kids who can't tell time from an analog clock or watch.

Cool thread! I've definitely got a weakness for watches. I'm with Lamour on this one as far as why I wear one. I don't have any tattoos or jewelry so watches are the only accessory I wear.

These two are in heavy rotation for me now

I wear this Alessi as a more formal watch

and this G-shock for running. It's been trusty and reliable for about six years now.

I had a bunch of Tag Heuer counterfeits when they were easy to get on Canal street. They would usually oxidize on the inside of the band within a month and I would just buy another for fifteen bucks or so.

I have a Tag/Heuer like the one in toybots pic...Never wear it unless i'm going to some fancy gathering though..We do a lot of timing for mixing acrylic/epoxy based resins at work but have shop clocks everywhere so it's never an issue-plus like GB said i also use my cell phone..

i have a tokyo bay watch that i love, I am looking for something new though. It is a cuff, and with a Bright red band, so it doesn't work with everything, but i wear it all the time.
I tend to buy big watches, because I have a wrist tattoo and work in an office. ;)

corporate camo.
