I forgot mine at home today. I was in a bit of a hurry this morning. I am sure I will be staring at my wrist all day wondering what time it is. Do you wear one?
 
I used to wear them and collect them. I had (have) over 50 and would even sometimes where over 15 of them at a time. Of course, that was in the late 80's and early 90's. I haven't worn one in years. Anymore, I just use my phone for the time, which is ironic since some of the watches that I wore didn't even have batteries, so it was not really about telling time. Now, they are not as "in". I wonder if that will change again as the fitness watches and phones become popular. They are just now starting to make them cute and/or fashionable.
 
I used to wear one all the time, but then switched to always checking my computer/phone/clock on the wall, etc. But I just got the new FitBit Blaze and found that I'm enjoying having it back on my arm (since it shows the time as well).
 
I used to wear swatches all the time in high school and College. I had a ton of them! Loved how funky they were for the time. I also had a collection of fun watches like tigger, snoopy, and of course a Mickey Mouse watch.

Now I don't wear a watch because I have my phone with me all the time and there's a clock on it.
 
I usually do. Plus I always have my Garmin Vivosmart fitness thingy on and iPHONE is always close by.

I haven't worn a wrist watch since I stopped working at a nursing home and didn't need it to take vital signs...so it's been about 6 years!
 
I haven't worn a wristwatch in a very long time. I'm right handed, but always wore my watch on my right wrist because I have a scar on my left wrist that the watch would irritate. I was glad when cellphones took over for watches!
 
Always!! Only take it off to shower! I feel naked without it.
 
no watch here...I have tiny, tiny wrists and they feel clunky esp when I am on the computer all day. I do have a fit bit that I try to remember to wear but it has been almost 2 months since I had that on now. I haven't moved much since I had my surgery. :)
 
LOL I haven't worn my watch since the battery died....I love it though and for years I have been saying I need to get that battery replaced!
 
I used to love watches and collect Mickey ones back in high school/early college. But at work I can't wear one so I got out of the habit- I have started wearing a fitbit and I love it. I'm trying to convince myself I don't need an Apple Watch (there's a Mickey clock face option!).
 
Yes, I always wear a wristwatch. Where I did my master's degree and in the places I've worked, it's considered rude to check your phone when you are in class or with a patient. So I wear a wristwatch and always have. If I forget it I feel completely naked without it!
