Do you still wear a watch?
Discussion
Mentioned in the ties thread that less people are wearing watches these days due to having the time on their phones/computer screens etc.
Haven't worn a watch in a couple of years since my Mondaine Swiss Railway watch broke and it hasn't bothered me in the slightest. Before that I hadn't worn one in years and felt quite liberated by it for some odd reason.
Recently found an old Reymond Weil watch of mine which was last worn in 1995 with the strap broken (big fight with an ex's ex-boyfriend
) and a dead battery.
Now I can't wait to get the battery and strap fixed and start wearing it again. Forgot to take it into town with me to get that done this morning.
So do you still wear one, have you always worn one, do you never wear one or like me do you go in phases of watch-wearing?

I stopped when I got into extreme sports and got used to not wearing a watch but thanks to accidentally finding the help group on PH, got back into watches.
I am not sure what it is; I like all watches irrespective of price or movement. I guess it is being able to appreciate the design. While waiting in the Tesco queue, I might stare at it for longer than is healthy. And then I'll look at my watch.

This is a bit like going into the music section and asking if they still listen to music
I have owned a couple of nice watches but got angry with my reasons for wearing them so have been watchless for a number of years now. Might go back to watches later in life though and now rely on the phone to tell the time

Yes and No.
I wore a watch when I was of school age, then later I seemed unable to keep one. Two watches met their doom when I dropped them down the same toilet one within a month of the other. A third was eaten by an angry green winged Macaw called Pepe (who we later discovered was actually female). At this point I decided that karmically speaking I probably was not meant to wear a watch, so I stopped doing so for about fifteen years.
Recently I have taken to wearing my Suunto D6 now and again when I fancy wearing a watch. If I am on holiday, I will wear it throughout.
I am always late, slightly ruffled, and grumpy regardless.
