Hi, myLotters. Nowadays, I find that there's fewer people wearing a watch on their wrists. They bring their cellphone with them everyday and think it's no use to wear a watch. When they wanna know the time, they just watch their cellphone. We have to accept it's also convenient to ask the phone, but I still wear my watch every day except that it doesn't work. I'm used to it.:) There's a new discovery.^_^ Especially as summer comes, some people will take off their watch and leave it at home or in their bags, like some of my classmates. Will you wear a watch or just use your phone to see the time? As season changes, will you still wear a watch just like me or take it off? Share your thoughts. Thank you in advance.:)

I use both. When I go to work, I always wear my watch to know what time it is unless I have forgotten to wear my watch. When I am at home, I love to watch time from the clock hanging against the wall. Cell phone, for me, is to communicate with people.

I will prefer wearing a wrist watch, even if I have my cell phone with me. It feels convient to me to glance through my watch, instead of seeing mobile. I agree, in summers, it becomes difficult to wear wrist watch, due to heavy sweating.

actually i'm one of those people who rely too much on their cellphones. i also don't wear a watch and rely on cellphone to tell me the time. but now i'm planning to buy a watch because it's more handy to just look at my wrist than to search my bag for the cell. it's also fashionable especially if you picked out the really nice watches to go with your outfit. and sometimes i can't put my cellphone inside my jeans pocket so i have to leave it inside my bag and from where i work, we have to leave our stuff inside our lockers. so yeah, i'm going to buy me a watch coz it's more handy that way.

Hello, diannebcrs. Thanks for your honest response. Yeah, wrist watch is so handy that we can take it to anywhere. There do have some limitations sometimes with your cellphone. Wish you can find one satisfied and fashionable soon. Thank you very much. Have a great day! :)

During my working hour I used to know the time by looking at my watch as cellphone is not allow to use in our office. The rest of the time I usually use cellphone for watching time.

I always wear a watch and it has become a habit for me to wear from my school days.So whenever i dress up to go somewhere i wear my watch without fail. In my cell phone i have the timer settings on my screen and most of the times i look into it to see the time but unable to separate from my wrist watch as it has become my companion.

I have a very small wrist and I have a hard time finding a watch to fit me and so I usually just use my cell phone to know what time it is as I carry it all the time that I am out. I guess the cell phone has changed the way we live in a lot of ways.

Yup, I do rely on my cellphone if I want to know what time it is. I am not really into wearing watches. I think the last time I wore a watch regulary was in college. I get apprehensive when I wear a watch, I feel that I am always running late. So in order to calm myself, I got rid of it entirely.

I agree that having a cellphone gives us full of advantage by that we can do anything now. I use my cellphone as an alarm clock but not as a watch itself because I still use my wrist watch to check time. d=)

I still wear wrist watch so i could look what's the time easily. unlike when you don't wear wrist watch you still need to get the phone in your pocket or bag it will consume more mins before you know the time.

Hi there mexshyl. Right now, i wear a watch, but there is no guarantee for the future. I have been wearing the watch i have now for about... 6-7 years now, it is a digital watch i have had since i was 11 years old. I love my watch and i think i am kind of attached to it now. I only take it off when i go to shower and wear it any other time. I find my watch really useful to track time and do count downs and so i think i will stick with a watch. Even if i get a cellphone in the future, i will still keep a watch for time instead of using the phone.

well now a days technology has been developed a lot.so ,man has to change himself to this devoloped technology .once upon a time by the shadow they had said the time ,after some years by using sand machine they had said the time after so many long years the clock has been invented.so every one has used the clock in their homes .after wrist watch has been invented this is the easy process to know the time by hang it to their hand the size and and the shape has become so small .but now a days we and almost not seeing the watches to the hands because we are using the cell phone frequently.so we are kept in the cell phone in our pockets for different purposes. it will show the time also so for this purpose of time always every one is dragging out the cell phone and knowing the time .so a cell phone used for one purpose is saying the time also .so there is no need of using a watch to the wrist .it will be unweigable weight to our hands.but we have to remember one thing that is in the exam halls we must not use our cell phones so its better to use a watch.in the traffic also its very difficult to take the cell from our pockets on two wheler vehicles .so its better to ues a watch in such type of situations its my openion.
