    Do you wear a wristwatch?

    I haven't worn one at all in years. Before I stopped wearing a watch completely, I only worn one ocassionally for about 10 or 15 years.

    I don't need one. If I want to know the time, I have numerous other sources.

    Re: Do you wear a wristwatch?

    Yep...I wore expensive stainless steel Diver's watches for over 35 years then switched to cheap water proof throw-away watches purchased from Wally-Word.

    They generally last a year or two then I just throw em away and spend another $20 on it's replacement.

    Re: Do you wear a wristwatch?

    Yep. I wear one. I have two: one I have set for standard time,
    the other I have set for daylight savings time. I simply switch them
    when the time changes!

    For work, I use my cell phone. I only wear a watch when dressing up to go somewhere.

    Re: Do you wear a wristwatch?

    Yep, a cheap timex I replace every couple of years. It's got a little nightlight inside it, and an alarm, and it's pretty cool Called the Expedition, a really "pilot" looking kind of watch. I'd never buy a Rolex; I know I'd lose it or someone would steal it from me.

    Re: Do you wear a wristwatch?

    I have worn a watch on my wrist, since I was probably 15 or 16. I do not feel dressed if it is not on my wrist. Just now they do so much more. I have had them that had my schedule in them, with alarms etc to keep me where and when I needed to be.

    I proably could pass on it now that I am retired, but doubt that I ever will.

    I thought a lot of people used that method.
    I've been doing it for years, now. And I know that
    I didn't invent that procedure! To me, it just seemed
    the logical thing to do.

    And like you mentioned before, you can always get an
    inexpensive watch. With all the clocks in the house that you
    have to change when the time goes back an hour, forward an hour,
    not to mention the clocks in the vehicles, I just got weary of changing
    my watch up & down, is all!
