Who doesn't wear a Watch?
on: February 24, 2016, 05:38:13 PM
So, 30% of the topics on the front page of this subforum are about watches. What watch are you wearing, Hey Look at my Watches, Help with this Watch etc.

 So how many of you guys (and gals) do not regularly wear a wriasmurfch?

And yes, my wrists are skinny.  And hairless. :kirky:

I didn't use to wear watches until I came to this forum. I had a Casio Edifice which was pretty and I loved it, but it was heavy, it didn't have an alarm clock and it just had a tons of exposed glass that kept getting hit on stuff.
Also I had my phone which just showed time easier...

You guys got me into G-Shocks, they are light, strong, pretty, easy to read, have alarm clocks and are just what it's needed when baby cries in the middle of the night and I need to see if it's time for food and how long do I have until I need to leave for work...

I haven't worn a watch in forever, like 10-15 years.  I did think about getting one a couple of years ago but say "nah" since I have a phone that shows it, what is the point?

If I get into longer hikes/camping trips, then I may get one to wear on those outings though!  :)

I am another who didn't wear a watch again before this forum.

I did back in middle school, but lost my favorite and never bought another.

Bought 1 cheapo, yall pushed me to a G and I haven't switched back!

I rarely wear a watch.
Only when I travel a lot or have a tight schedule I wear one. Else, there are so many watches everywhere and I often carry a mobile phone.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

Well, I also did wear watches when I was at school, university later, but once I graduated and my watches' batteries died, I didn't care to buy new ones anymore. I work from home, always at the PC, when I'm out, I have my phone.

I've pretty much always worn a watch as far as I can remember.  I actually like the way a watch feels on my wrist.

That depends on the watch.  I really dislike the way my Pebble feels, although that might be because the slots on the strap are either too tight or too loose.  I need to order a Nato strap for it.   

Of course I'm used to its functions now and it's a bit awkward to switch back to a Seiko Orange monster with no step counter or a G Shock that doesn't read my texts etc.  :D

Good for you! I'm all for having an alarm to warn us about them!

Blasted pedom... wait, what? Oh... nevermind...

I am the destroyer of watches, lost count of how many I broke as a younger fellow.
Then one fateful day I got some sort of burn from the back of my watch. 25+ years later still watch free.

This sounds interesting moonweasel - did they break through accident or misuse or is there something about you that watches react badly to?

I seem to have an effect on electronic devices - none of them last very long with me. I have Palmer Hyperhidrosis which means my hands sweat profusely at times and I've often wondered whether that had something to do with it.

Can't stand wearing a watch. But I don't wear any kind of jewellery either. Not only would a watch get in my way at work it's also not allowed because I'm a sparky by trade and I work in a food grade environment.

Just wear and tear for the most part, I was very active. I'm fairly normal as far as I am aware.
As for the burn I have no idea if it was chemical, faulty product/heat, or some sort of alergic reaction, and no desire for it to happen again.
And for work it will just not be practical now.

It's been more than 20 years since I've worn a watch.

Last I had was a POP Swatch, since that's all that fit on my wrist.
