Useless Poll #512: Do you wear a watch?

[macbeergeek]

For the past 30 years, yes, most of time, but in the past few years during the times when my watch or watchband has been broken, I go without it for a month or two (partly just due to procrastination). As others here have said, I did feel naked without it, but just for the first week or so, and then only when I wasn't near a clock (which I usually am).

My current watchband broke (I'm hard on watches so I never buy really expensive ones) and since I now have a cell phone with me most of the time I decided to go longer without it. Been about 6 months... so far so good... If I'm not near a clock, then I generally have my cell phone with me, and the screen saver is set to display the time in big numbers.

So far I'm not really missing the watch, which was just another thing to have to remember to put on in the morning, and like incognegro I don't like the metal twisty bands... they rip the hair out of my arm (yow!), so I usually have a leather band, but if I sweat on them in the summer they tend to get that sweaty-leather smell (yuck). There are clocks all over our house, in the cars, in the train station, and at work, so for me it hasn't been a big deal. One less thing to worry about.
