Not any more. Stopped about 20 years ago. It was always a pain finding a reasonably priced all stainless case wristwatch, otherwise my sweat would just tear into the metal of the case. My father has the same problem, so I probably inherited that trait.
Last straw was that I found wearing a watch was aggravating carpal tunnel problems on that wrist as well. For a while after I stopped wearing a watch my job had me on a pager, so used to use that to keep track of time. But I turned that pager in when they laid me off from that position. They wanted me to keep it, but my position was if they were not going to pay me to be on call, I was not going to keep the pager.
