Re: Do You Wear a Wristwatch?
I don't bother with a watch now I just use my iPhone. But I do have a divers watch a Citizen Aqualand 2 which gives me maximum depth, time and a log of my dives. so only wear it when diving as the iPhone does not like water

Re: Do You Wear a Wristwatch?
The bottom looking button is actually a emergency beacon that when activated will send a air sea rescue chopper to you.

Re: Do You Wear a Wristwatch?
I used to but haven't worn a watch in years. I just use my phone for the time.

Re: Do You Wear a Wristwatch?
Never bothered and most of the time I'm not concerned about the time. At work it's on the computer so I can join meetings (and most importantly go home) promptly. There's one in the car. Else I usually know how long it's going to take so allow some lea way and leave "on time" by wall clock. Get there early and wait.

Re: Do You Wear a Wristwatch?
I wear a cheap digital watch bought from eBay for £4 including postage. It does me as I only use my phone when I absolutely need to.

Re: Do You Wear a Wristwatch?
I still do sometimes we're when out and about, it's one the missus bought me a year ish after we met 20 odd years ago. She comments on it every so often so i know it makes her happy to see me wearing it, i won't stop because of that... even if i rarely use it to check the time lol.

Re: Do You Wear a Wristwatch?
I wear a Casio G-Shock radio controlled watch. Because it's radio controlled (ie checks the time/date automatically with the signal in cumbria) and light on electricity, I don't have to worry too much about whether it's accurate or not (indeed, I can't remember the last time I had to set it).
My iPhone does tell the time accurately, but that's assuming it's got battery power, and assuming I'm in an area safe enough to be be flashing a smartphone worth several hundred pounds in. Neither is a given if I've been out for a drink.
