My profession at this point in time focuses on my mechanical skills. It requires welding, cutting and squeezing into small places. I really don't need something around my wrist during this. And if I am not doing these things, I am on a computer which has a clock also. |
Very accurate if the you have the correct measurements for the shade at each time of the year ;) or he looks at the clock in his car` |

I'm part of the cellphone generation. I own watches but only wear them when going somewhere I can't bring/don't want to bring my cellphone. I can't recall the last time I saw anyone my age wearing a watch, and I go to a large college campus twice a week or more. |
A watch and a pocketknife were symbols of manhood when I was a kid. So was a belt |

I wear a belt and carry multiple knives daily. I also wear literal jackboots (I actually think they're damn comfy, give me good traction and protect my feet). ![]() But I don't wear a watch regularly... Few do from my generation, even in the redneck and military crowds (not all young people are emos, metros or goths). |
Well said. A watch has become almost like womens' jewellery these days - an accessory only. |
| I voted cellphone only. But honestly, every damn peice of electronics I have displays the time (my multiple computers, my car, my phones, my TV, my DVR, microwave, the wall clocks, my desk phone, etc). That and every watch I have owned, I have broke within weeks/months of buying. Just I just stopped wearing a watch. |
Sorry, but I'm a left brained type, I need to know what time it is all the time. I use my cell so little I'm much more apt to leave it at home than my watch. If I leave the house without a watch on I'll actually turn my car around and go back and get it, I'm naked without it. Reaching in my pocket and pulling out a phone to check the time is just plain wasted effort when I could simply tilt my wrist. Plus, I just got a new watch (Seiko Aviator) and it's fun to play with the slide rule. |
We may not see eye to eye on much, but on that one, I'm right with ya. ![]() Not wearing a watch is for right brained artsy people who don't give a shit if they're on time. |
