Does anyone still wear a watch!?

[Teachermumof3]

and if so-what's it like? I haven't worn a watch for years now, but am finding myself increasingly frustrated at work when my clock stops working (!) and my phone is in the cupboard and I have no idea what the time is!

mine

It's fab - had it from dh 6 or 7 years ago and only had to change battery once. Still waterproof too - went through the washing machine got rather wet recently and no problems at all. Looks really classy too.

I love my watch (cartier tank francaise) It's beautiful and functional. I hate it if I leave the house without a watch, even though I have the time on my phone.

I wear a Rolex my parents bought me the day I got the taken on in the job I do (very competitive).

I only wear it to work and for nights out/formalish occasions. Never around the house or when generally out and about e.g. shopping.

Why on earth would anyone rather go to the effort of getting a phone out than simply glance down at their left wrist?

Can't understand the logic.

(So, in case you hadn't guessed, yes, I always wear a watch)

I love wearing a watch. I think they're trés chic. I have a DKNY one for day wear which can get splashed and bashed and a gold 1961 rolex I bought with my late Nannas inheritance. It's small but solid gold so, I think, very fitting to her memory.

I love Fimbos one.

I do - have the one Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany's (a Hamilton) - had it 13 years now.

Err yes, all the time (family heirloom - sentimental value) didn't realise it wasn't the done thing anymore to wear a watch .

Agree with Greenshadow - why on earth would you look at a phone to tell the time - having said that I am not joined at the hip to my mobile as so many people are ............. can happily not use it for a few weeks days at a time.

I wear one and never take it off - a steel Rolex with a navy face. I only took it off for the birth of my first child!

I had bought my husband one so he returned the favour a year or so after.

Cost a fortune now with the Swiss franc where it is.

another one here who feels naked without one. Silver Gucci bangle style watch.

I didn't have a watch for many years but have just started wearing one of these from Bering - claims to have a scratchproof display.

Actually the watch is this one - the first link was to the whole collection.

I stopped wearing one when ds was born nearly 12 years ago as even with a soft one I seem to have the ability to scratch a child with it during day to day activities.

I need to see a clock though, I do get slightly paniced if I can't see the time so I have clocks all around the house. I use my phone mainly when out but I can't at work and I'm not always in sight of the clock (and I work in a pre-school so have the scratching thing) so I have a silicone fob watch on my uniform.

Yes I never take mine off. I even shower in it and just move it down my wrist to wash under it. I've had it ages and its a TAG. When the battery goes it has to be sent away to be replaced so I've also got a much cheaper watch to wear when it is being done. I couldnt imagine not wearing one.

And I agree, a good forearm with a nice watch is a good look for a man

not since student days...and bizarrely can now tell time almost to to the minute without it :)

Yes, I also am pretty good at 'knowing' the time without looking at a clock / watch, but I do wonder whether this is because I do actually look subconsciously on a regular basis.

Had my Longines watch for about 17 years I think. It hasn't dated. Always wear it when I'm out of the house, though cheap waterproof job for beach etc.

Yes, I have a lovely omega that I wear daily. It was my 30th birthday present and is the only expensive thing I own! I don't wear any jewellery, even my wedding ring.

I've just started wearing one again 24/7 after not wearing one for a good few years, but I can't remember why I stopped!
My day to day one is a stainless steel waterproof job, but I have a lovely gold one my parents gave me for my 21st

Yep, I wear my fossil one 24/7. I would LOVE another spoon watch though.

Yes, always. Mine is one of the ones that you don't need to wind (kinetic?) but if you stop wearing it for a day or so it stops going.

Nope. Haven't in years. I'm always on time though.

Always here too, feel naked without it and don't carry my phone everywhere. It's easier to look at a watch than a phone. Keep it at the exact time, it is an Citizen Eco drive and it stays spot on always. I am one of those people who hates being late.

I do, love it, mum and dad got it for me for my 25th bday, its got white stones set around the face in a pave setting that almost matched the way the diamonds on my wedding and engagement rings

Re being on time if youre a watch wearer - I'm not, ever! And my watch is always set a few mins fast to try and get me to be on time...... :)
