I wear a watch. My cellphones stay on my desk. My watch also has a built in altimeter for tracking climbs on the bike.

people that leave their cell phones on all the time are annoying. If they could remember the ringer, fine. They can't. Cell phones are stupid.
Nixon makes good watches, they are nice, good craftsmenship, but I have not used a watch for years, maybe cuz I was still in school. But honestly I have not had a watch for about 5 years.
It makes me want to kick people in the nuts when I see them dig around in their jacket or whip out their cell phone from their handy little holster just to see what time it is. Watches are good.
I wore a watch for 4 months in the summer of '99 when we visited Europe. Those damn trains are *prompt.*
Other than that, haven't worn a watch since college.

I need to get a watch for this summer, prolly sumtin with, altimeter,barometer, so on and so forth. I plan on goin on a 2 week hiking trip in the Olympic Mountain at the end of this summer.
i dislike wearing a watch. it always seems to get caught when jamming yr hands in yr pockets. if a mobile phone can serve multiple functions, why carry redundant equipment?
Apparently it is a great accessory for showing your "worth"..........narlus said:

I wear a watch whether or not I have a cell phone (which I don't right now, since I cancelled it a couple months ago).
Why should I carry a cellphone everywhere when my watch just stays on my wrist?

Does anyone own one of those fancy watches with GPS, and other usefull things when going on a 2 week excursion??
Don't carry a watch, don't own a cell phone. That's right, I'm the annoying guy who always asks the time. Actually I usually just use the sun's position to tell me the time. If it's nigh I usually don't care what time it is. Also, asking the time is a good way to introduce myself to girls....as the idiot who refuses to use modern technology.stinkyboy said:
I really like watches, but I always seem to damage them. I also have thin wrists and they tend to be fairly uncomfortable(I do have 3 or 4 nice watches though...2 or 3 Swiss Army and a Rusty Branded Nixon watch). If I worked in an office I'd probably wear a watch as I think they are classy and look good. Since I'm in college and spend most of my time by a computer or on my bike or rock climbing or around people more than willing to whip out a cell phone I don't see a point.

I wear a watch on night rides so I know how much juice I have left in my batteries. I stopped bringing my cell phone on rides after I broke two by crashing on them.
Parents gave me a Suunto Observer for B-day. It's great for skiing, etc since it counts vert distance, number of runs, etc.yonton228 said:
I always wear that or either of my other 2 watches because I think looking at my phone all the time is obnoxious and I tend to not have it on me anyway...
So *you're* that dude riding all the trails on a rigid steel bike with all the Suntour components!ito said:

Not I... I have a cell so I really dont even carry a watch anymore. However if the ever have a watch cell phone... OMG!stinkyboy said:
I wear a watch, and get pissd off when I forget it. My waterproof metal Timex digital is broken at the minute so I have a somewhat more stylish but much more fragile analog one, which means I have to take it off for riding because I fall too much.
Every time I look at my bare wrist it annoys me.

I wear a Kenneth Cole. I love the simplistic analog style, how flat and thin it is and the all-stainless case and band. It's so comfortable, I hardly know I'm wearing it.
....fixed even. Now you starting to feel the age?SkaredShtles said:Ahhhhh..... to be young again.

How much did that Ken Cole watch cost, his clothing line is expensive as hell.
I always wear a watch during my day-to-day activities. I take it off when I get home or when I ride.
Well, I do have as much of a tanline as I can get in Ireland (i.e. bugger all) but it's mainly because I have worn a watch since... gods, I can't even remember when, but I probably had a few years left in single figures. I swap wrist every now and then for variety's sake but when I want the time, I check my wrist. It's that natural and that annoying when I can't.ito said:
I needs a new sports watch :mumble:
i hardly ever take my watch off. only to do the dishes and to shower. other than that i always have it. i have a couple of back ups laying around just in case i lose my main one.
strange...
i thought wearing watch was normal, christ! i feel naked without mine.
i've always worn a watch, only take it off when i go to bed, shower, etc apart from that i always have it with me, if for some reason i forget it it totally buggers me up for the day, i feel lost.
i have a mobile as well but never really thought about looking at it to get the time, i only use it for calls and wakeup alarm.
most people i know wear watches as well.

Maybe it's you USAnians that are strange, I certainly know exactly what Steve is on about - most people I know wear them too.
