Yeah i wear a wrist watch. Not really to see the time.It looks nice. Nowadays wrist watches have become more of an accessory than an elementary element for people. To look good and fashionable people get there bodies tattooed..... wrist watch now falls in the same category...

If I have my mobile phone switched on it can by accident phone that last number I dialed. When that happens I can loose all credit on my mobile phone. I pay as I go which means I pay £10 or more then have that credit on my mobile phone. Therefore I only have my mobile phone switched on if I am sending a text message or making a phone call. My baby daughter is six months old. If I wear my watch she fiddles with my wrist. I am therefore worried that she might brake my watch strap. I hope that you get your watch working again. If not you have your cell phone to look at to find out what time it is.

Carrying a cell phone is need based. For my lifestyle I do not need to have the cell phone with me. In fact I put it off and use it only when I want to contact someone or I am expecting any calls. I have two other landlines. I do wear a watch when I go out.

You know its ironic, I have spent 13 years in my career working for call centers of one type or another, in the customer service field. Everytime I get a call from telemarketers trying to sell me the latest and greatest cell phone and plan they all say something similar. They quote some random survey that says 95% of all americans now own a cell phone. Except I'm not one of them. I dont need a cell phone, and really honestly dont want one. But to answer your question I don't where a watch either. Not because I dont have one, or want to use it. It's just I am hard on watches, and all my watches have broken wrist bands. Go Figure

I still do. Looking at my watch is faster than fishing my phone out of my pocket to check the time.

Hello kuloor: I need my wristwatch. Its like a part of me and I feel that something is missing if the wristwatch is not on my wrist. I have them in basic colors such as black, brown, silver and dress watch. Even though I do have a cell phone, I always use my wrist watch to check the time.

I wear a wristwatch. I have in total twelve although two are running. The others need batteries. Sometimes people with cell phone ask me the time. I tell them to look at their phones. It does have a clock on it. They then have the audacity to get mad.

Yes I wear it religiously everytime I go out of the house. My wrist watch is a part of my clothing accessory I cant rid off. My cellphone is in my bag, I'll take it out when someone texted or calling me.

I still wear my wristwatch. I find it effortless to look at my wrist to tell the time than to get my phone from my pocket. Plus my watch adds style to my rather boring fashion sense.

I don't wear wristwatches nowadays. It's not that i don't like it but it's just that I can not find any that will fit my wrist. I'm kinda thin you know and I haven't worn any watch since my grade school years. Wristwatches provides elegance than any cellphone can give. If I could I will wear one now.

I still keep and use my wristwatch. But I only wear it when I'm going out and not bringing the baby. Now that you mentioned it, I think I'm missing my watch. Haven't seen it for a while now.

I prefer a wrist watch. If I want to know the hour on my phone I have to take it out from my purse and open it, which is pretty annoying, so I carry a wrist watch that will allow me to know the hour easily in any moment.

I do like watches but seriously seriously after the popularity of cell phones they have become more of a show piece than anything which can be put to good use.Like many others,I have given up on watches too because I carry my cell phone all the time.Also wearing a watch is more of a headache for me because usually I am getting late to classes,so why add an extra job to the routine..LOL...Also many times,I even forget wearing a watch so now,I have learned to live without it....:)
