I only use my cellphone to time my classes. Then I leave it on my desk, and it helps me ensure we are on time to cover the planned lesson. Apart from that, I use my watch. With so many great designs of cheap watches here, you can update the style of your watch regularly, and for a few dollars, it's great!

Most of the time I forget to even wear my watch, but I never forget to bring my cell phone along. And the funny thing about that is, I really don't talk that much on the phone. My main reason for getting one, was just to be able to reach and connect with my daughter...SS

It's been a LONG time since I've even owned a watch. If I'm out, I use my cell phone to check the time. I still use an alarm clock, though. I don't use my cell phone. I love the handy little snooze button. LOL

I still greatly rely on my watch. I hate to admit it but there are times where checking the time is inappropriate and I do anyways. These times include during meetings, while I am interviewing someone, or even just chatting with someone. With a watch, I can be a little more inconspicuous in checking the time by just glancing at my wrist rather than whipping out my cell phone.

Cell phone is the only phone I use, because I disconnected my home phone long time ago.

I haven't set the time on my cell phone so I usually check it on my watch. Now that you remind me, I must set it, as I often forget to wear my watch mbut I never forget to take my cell phone with me. I use an alarm clock to waken me in the mornings as it has always been reliable and I wouldn't like to change.

i always wear my watch and use it as my primary source of checking the time when i am out and i use my phone as a backup whenever i forget to wear a watch. i remember in the pass when i always feel uncomfortable if i forget my watch at home and there's no mobile phone yet as a back up. but now i don't worry much if i forget wearing my watch because there's always a phone to save me from my time consciousness.

I haven't worn a watch for at least 15 years (other than, now and then as a piece of jewellery ) .. the last day was on a Friday .. 13th !! I had an important exam that afternoon where you had to time yourself with the answers ... and the blessed watch strap broke .. and from the examination place I went straight into hospital to have an op the mext morning so I needed to make sure I had no food after a certain time ..
I never have my mobile phone turned on .. and now I don't work I really don't need to know the exact time .. I even have the TV programmes I want to watch on an auto record programmable recorder ... so no worries about missing anything ..
When your time is your own .. knowing the exact time is rarely needed ... and I only have one clock in the house ..

I've never really been goo at timekeeping. I tend to use the car clock or my phone, my lounge clock is 2 1/4 hours behind at the moment so I use the one on my laptop. The bedroom clock is usually 10 minutes fast, if I really need to know the right time I look on the TV.

I did not use my armwatch for a long time, because the battery was exhausted, and only a watchfixer can exchange it. So it was in a draw for a few (5) years :), but last year it made put a battery in it, so I like to use it. It is an analog watch, shows the day and the date too, and also if it is daytime or night. I bought a very nice crocodil-leather watchstrap. It is very special, I am wearing it.

I always forget to ask my mom to buy me a nice watch so i check the time using my phone. but im a student nurse and we need watches whenever we take pulse, respiration rates and temperature, so i just borrow from my classmates.. you see how poor i am?! haha just kidding. well it's kinda hard for me when i wear a watch coz i use my left hand to write and im not used to wearing watches on my right arm. so when im wearing a watch, it gets in the way or i cant write easily. you know what im saying. well there you go
