Do you wear a wristwatch or do you prefer not wearing one?

I prefer not wearing a wristwatch as the band usually breaks off or the battery dies and I don't feel like having to keep replacing it. I know, I am lazy. :-) I carry my cell phone with me and that is my watch. LOL

I use my cell phone as my primary watch also, plus that way I know my watch doesn't jump or drop minutes either. It's always the same no matter what.

yes, very good point plus when daylight savings time comes and ends some phones automatically change.

That is neat that you have different color watches. One other person on here also mentioned she had a collection of watches. Mine usualy break and get thrown away.

I wear a wrist watch and feel lost when I leave the house and forget to put it on.

Thank you for your opinion. Timing yourself is not a great idea like you said.

I also carry a cell phone but i can't live without my wrist watch. It's easier than looking at the cell phone for the time.

I always wear watch so if I dont have it when I go out somewhere, I feel very upset. I usually go back and get my watch.

I am a great believer in wearing a wrist watch, but lately I keep having problems with them and have probably thrown the last 5 away after a short time. I keep intending to purchase another although I seem to forget every time I go shopping. I also use my mobile phone as a substitute watch, and as my alarm clock too.

My cell phone is my watch and as well as my alarm clock and also use the calendar for all my appointments and stuff. Has more value than a watch. :-)

That is what I do as well. No need for a watch since I have my cell phone.

My husband is the same way. He prefers to use his cell phone as a watch than wearing a watch. I used to wear a watch, but as time went on, I stopped wearing one. I don't know why. I used to buy a new watch every year. I have a collection of them now. Some of them don't work anymore. Once in awhile, I would wear them because I tell myself that I spent so much money on them, I might as well wear them, right?!!!

You are definitely right on the mark there. If you have watches already in your collection, might as well wear them. :-) Mine kept breaking down on me so I stick with the cell phone.

My partner is like that. He can not stand wearing a watch and he seems to be unusually rough on watch bands. I tried to get him to get a watch that has a metal band instead of leather...but he would also rather rely on his cellphone for the time. Me though...I have to wear a watch. If I do not wear a watch, I feel as if I am missing something.

I wear a watch and have had to change the band a couple times. Usually, my watches don't last long, but my current watch is in great shape (knock on wood) and the face hasn't scratched despite some hard knocks.

I have the habit of wearing a wrist watch since young. I feel quite lost without a watch when I am outside :P

I hate wearing watches. It slows down time. But I carry a cell phone around when I'm on my way somewhere so I'm not late.

No. I am not wearing a watch because I prefer use my cell phone as my clock. However, I like guy that wear watch. I also not know why, may be because they look more man wearing a watch or this show that they are more are time minded. Unfortunately, my boy friend never wear watch and I have bought him a watch as christmas present to force him to wear.
