Do You Wear A Watch ?

[Theland]

Given that you can tell the time from your phone, I pad, cooker, fridge and TV etc do you really need one, if so why?

[Peter Pedant]

6 y o on train
hey grandad look at them
those two old men are wearing watches!

moi - - for it was I - do you want to have a look
Grandad: o yeah OK I can see why you wear this ....

[Zacs-Master]

Fashion. I have several.

[Bobbisox1]

Always, I'd be lost without mine

[Apc2604]

Only when I go out. I use clocks at home and never use my phone for the time when I'm out because I rarely take it out unless I'm alone.

[Theland]

Even more puzzling to me are expensive watches :×}

[Baldric]

Don't feel dressed without one.
I grew up in a rural area where you couldn't hear a church clock let alone see one, if you wanted to be home in time for meals a watch was the only option.

[Mamyalynne]

Not for years since I broke my wrists and they became uncomfortable to wear.

Have a couple of fob watches but no real need to wear them.

[Tilly2]

I don't feel dressed without my watch on.

[Jackdaw33]

I only wear mine when boiling eggs as I can count in seconds.

[dannyk13]

Yes. I wear one for convenience.

[sadielady]

Always, feel something is missing without one

[Zacs-Master]

You wouldn’t like my Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore then, Theland.

I used to until I got a fitbit. I seem to remember wearing both for a short while, until the strap on my favourite watch broke.

[Bobbisox1]

Nor my husbands Longines TL

[Apc2604]

As soon as I get home after going out, I take watch, bracelet,rings, and any footwear, including socks off. So all through lockdown I am unadorned!

[Bobbisox1]

I wear an Apple Watch

[SparklyKid]

No, not since I retired 25 years ago.

[Apc2604]

And just for PP, I confirm everything else stays on!!

[Prudie]

Nor my diamond encrusted gold Citizen Ecodrive :-) I wear it all the time and regularly look at it to check the time when I'm out of the house. The last thing I use my phone for is to check the time.
