Well, I don't need one to tell the time. I have either my smart phone, computer, or whatever else for that.GeorgW said:
Beyond that, I'm not really into wearing Jewelry much.
I still don't get the reasoning for the excuse "I don't need a watch, I just use my phone to tell time." I don't care who you are, having the ability to simply glance at your wrist to tell the time is much better and more convenient than digging in your pockets for your phone.Zechnophobe said:
I mean think about it. With a watch, one twist of the wrist and you know what time it is. With a phone, you have to fumble around in your pocket to get a grip on the thing, pull the phone out, press the button to pull it out of sleep mode, and only then do you know what time it is. If all that crap is "more convenient", then I really have to doubt modern society's definition of "convenient".
(Using your computer's clock to tell the time while you are using said computer I do understand, though.)
That isn't the point. The point is that I have a smart phone either way. Investing and wearing some other device that does something I can already do doesn't make sense.Skywolf09 said:
Even more, the utility of knowing what time it is, is a pretty minor thing. For those times when I'm not near a computer, clock, or other publicly displayed time telling device, I generally know pretty well what time it is. Maybe I need to know when to return for lunch each day? The added benefit of the watch over the phone is so very, very slight. And once again, I have the phone either way.
To push even further, I would say that the forecast, for example, for the next few days(or hours!) is generally more useful to know than the time. I can Also get that info on my phone. But do you see me lugging around some device that only gets that? Nope.
Na I'ma pocket watch guy, my jacket has headphone cable band that holds the chain perfectly then i put it in breast pocket on the other side. What?! it looks good on me, its a good conversation piece too... coolest ticking sound as well, pain in the ass to wind every 4 or 5 hours then resetting it in the morning but at least it's a habit now.
cellphones... inconvienence in a phone.
I like watches, espicially if they have a laser emmiter you can murder people with! like james bonds!

I wear my wrist watch occasionally when I wear my suit, but it's only because my watch (I'm not kidding) cost me $300+.
I've always found them uncomfortable anyway. I haven't worn one since 1996 when I began regularly carrying a phone.
Oh, well, thanks a lot, I guess I'm old.Zechnophobe said:
Have you ever thought that some of us don't want to whip out our phones to check the time, sometimes, we just want to check it with a flip of the wrist? Or maybe we have jobs that require a watch which also indicates the seconds, and it's way simpler to just use your watch instead of taking out your phone and going into the clock application in order to find the stopwatch section.
So yeah, sometimes a wrist watch is more practical.
I would wear a wrist watch if I had one, always knowing the time without having to pull out my cell phone...awesome.
