Do you still wear watches? Is there any point for a watch nowadays?
I just came to the realization that I've never worn a watch in my entire life. And that's because by the time I became a teenager I had a cell phone, and your cell phone already tells you the time.
So what is the point of a watch in today's day and age? Everyone owns a cell phone. You can just look at your phone for the time. Not only are most watches expensive, they do nothing but sit on your wrist all day. Do you people still wear watches? Is there any point? Or is it just a fashion statement nowadays? |

Haven't worn a watch in years. Used to always mess up the band on it. The last watch I had, my father had it and left it at his friend's house. Neither of us ever visited again, though for reasons. That aside, I wouldn't mind a new watch though. Easier than digging through my bag to take out my phone to check the time. At least you can't accidentally drop your watch.
Surprisingly, here in Japan, I still notice people using watches despite having cell phones, especially businessmen. |

I've got a nice expensive one that my wife got me to wear on our wedding day.
I wear it when I have to dress up smart and that's about it.

I wear a watch on my left wrist. In EMT class there were plenty of people younger than me who wore watches so no, it's not just old people.

Sooner or later you'll start seeing more people wearing watches when Smartwatches become the norm, one of the advantages of having one is, you can check your phone's notifications or see whose calling, even answer and talk on the watch.

Today at work, I decided to take notice of my coworkers. The majority of them were wearing watches, which included those in their early to mid 20s.
Cell phones were more prominent here than other places got hooked on them, and people still seem to use both phones and watches. It's like how you can still find working payphones here, despite the majority of people using cell/mobile phones and smartphones. |

I still wear one. It's useful for time management at work, keeping track of how much time to allocate for a specific task.

I use it when I'm on a run or doing exercise.

I like watches. It's a helluva lot easier to quickly glance at the time on my wrist then to dig out my phone to check the time. Even now my watch band broke so I'm watchless, and my wrist feels so naked!

Found out yesterday that Pebble was bought my Fitbit, and then the company shuts down, they stopped production on the Pebble Watches, and Kickstarter backers who were supposed to get the newest watches are getting a full refund, But the existing watches will continue to work, but probably with some limitations.

I wear one, all the time because I do Cross Country and Track, so I kind of need it.

I just ordered a Huawei Smartwatch, Its one of those watches that uses Android Wear, so I can put on a bunch of watch faces or watch apps on it, and they have TMNT Watch Faces too.
