Never ever. And I find it leads to my being more punctual. eeenteresting.

i have no sense of time. at all. no concept of it. for what i presume are the same reasons i can look at a crowded room and not at all be able to tell you how many people are in it, nor can i gauge distances. my mind just doesn't seem to be able to tally minutes well. so i require a watch or a cell phone or something at almost all times, otherwise i'm hosed.

Not that I don't use my cell phone or other time telling pieces but it must be something internal. Watches just mess me up. I get several comments from my actors that I can't be a stage manager with out a watch but I am always dead one,,,even when they test me... and my curtain always goes up 8PM sharp!

I look at watches and think, $20?! Time's not that important to me. I should get one though because I'm obsessed with the time.

I have a billion watches. When I have a watch that's working, I wear it every hour of the day except to shower. Feel naked without it. However, I have this annoying tendency to not be able to get around to changing batteries when they die. So i usually just end up getting another cheap watch. So I have a ton with dead batteries and not a damn thing else wrong with them. I haven't worn one in months becuase I'm unwilling to continue that cycle but I'm still too lazy to get the batteries changed. So...while my preferred nature is to have a watch on at all times...not so much happening in practice.

I used to wear an old fashioned watch on a chain. Now though that I have to carry a pager and cell phone for my job frequently, I just use that as my watch.

My cell phone is my watch. For years now.
So my left arm is completely tanned without any pale parts in between ;-D

my cell phone is my watch, as well.

when i went to japan, i forgot about this and my cell phone died en route, and i forgot my charger - not like the phone worked there anyway, but i had to buy a cheap little hello kitty watch to keep track of time :P esp. since i got tired of asking people and struggling to understand the answer ^_^

Yup!

I only use my cell... so when I go on vacation, like, out of the country or whatever, and I leave it at home... I always end up having to buy a watch.
So, like andrea, I have a lot of cheap watches sitting around in my sock drawer... but unlike andrea, they all have working batteries.
:D

I only take my watch off when I shower.
Prinut Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
Here, here...I feel naked without it on.

Exactly.� Although I will take it off at night.

My sister never wears one.� She discovered that when she had one, she was constantly checking it to make sure it was right and was really neurotic� and obsessive about being exactly on time. And that she was already anal retentive enough-- she needed to free herself.� Pretty much the same reason she got rid of her bathroom scale-- she kept compulsively weighing herself.

To me, it just feels like what's supposed to be on my wrist. I mean, I check the time, obviously, but no more than one would normally.

my watch, my athens olympics swatch, ticks VERY VERY LOUDLY.

i discovered this the first time I tried to put it on.

I carry a watch. It goes in my pocket. And I love it so. Although I'll admit it sometimes makes for awkward situations because it's impossible to look at it covertly.
Gordondon son of Ethelred · 19 years, 9 months ago
I wear my watch whenever I'm out of the house, it is part of getting dressed. I wear it in the house too but for some reason it bothers me when I'm on the computer.

My watch is one of my favorite possessions. I keep my phone book in it, I'd be lost without it.

i sit in front of a computer most of the day, and if i'm away from the computer, i usually have my cell on.
It's a girl! Back · 19 years, 9 months ago

But what about your powerpuff girls watch?

goovie is married! Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
the battery died and i didn't think it was worth it to replace it. sad, really.
stealthlori · 19 years, 9 months ago
i used to try to wear watches, but i kept killing them dead. i had some fairly nice ones, but after a few weeks, maybe a month or two, they'd just stop working and be unfixable. after i killed a few fairly expensive watches i started buying cheap ones, but when those died just the same they weren't even worth trying to have fixed.

so i gave up wearing a watch regularly. now i own a few, but i rarely wear them. in addition to not wanting to wreck a perfectly nice timepiece, i find the feeling of having one on my wrist to be uncomfortable.

sometimes i'll carry one in my coat pocket or purse, but usually i rely on the cell phone, the car clock, the computer clock or whatever other clock is around me.

i'm sure I mentioned this to you but Johnny Evers, the Hall of Fame second baseman of Tinkers to Evers to Chance fame could never wear a watch, they'd stop working after a short time just like you. He'd be given watches at dinners and such and he'd give them away since it was a waste if kept them himself.
Misch · 19 years, 9 months ago
Since I'm a little obsessive over time details, I find myself always wearing a watch.

Especially because I drive on the thruway... and it has all these nice numbers every tenth of a mile... and I know where my exits are... and I calculate the time it's going to take (barring traffic) in my head.

Maybe I should just listen to the music a little more.
Gordondon son of Ethelred Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
I do that all the time but I use my car's clock. It is easier to read while driving.

I actually go further I say, How long would it take at 80mph, 75mph, and 70mph. I don't bother with sixty since that is just a mile a minute.
Kris 'engaged' Bedient · 19 years, 9 months ago
I never take off my watch, it's waterproof...to 100 meters. I look at it all the time, then immediately forget what time it is and have to look at it again.

rrrowwwwr! *whistles at jaci*

When I wore a wristwatch, it literally never came off. (Waterproof, I even showered with it.)

An ex bf of mine observed the fact that while my car/computer/alarm clocks persistantly end up the wrong time, my wristwatches keep perfect time.

This (seemingly) extends to pocketwatches. I have a pocketwatch-style watch that hangs from my belt when I'm working. And a proper pocketwatch (with a skull&crossbones design in enamal on the case) that I wear to anything more dressy that I'm still wearing pants to. (Not that much short of a wedding - and sometimes not even that - gets me into a skirt or dress, but whatever.)
