Do you still use clocks (not wrist watches) and how many do you have ?  email this discussion to a friend?

Nowadays I find people not replacing their clocks, as compared to earlier times, with a new one or repaired if that goes out of order - they always have their mobile phones to show them the time - while they still have their bedside alarm clocks though many people again prefer using cellphones for alarms and wakeup alarm too.
What do you do? Do you still replace the clock or get it repaired if it breaks down, and how many clocks do you have at home?
I have a clock in every room and yes I do replace them if they go out of order. and though I do not use a wake up alarm, in case I need to get up earlier than my usual time I use the alarm on the cellphone.

Does the computer clock count? No?
Well, I have one alarm clock in my room, but it's still in the box. I've never used it. XD

I've only got one clock in my home and I seldom use it as I myself have a watch and a cellphone.I set an alarm on my cellphone to wake me up every morning just like you. That's true more and more home clocks are replaced by cellphones and electronic watches.

We still have clocks here at home. My mom prefers clocks over her cellphone since her eyesight is not that good anymore. With clocks, she can see better. For me, I have a clock hung in my room but I use my cellphone for the alarm hehe

Quite agree with you, nowadays ppl seems seldom to use clocks to wake up.
I prefer to use mobile phone for alarms and wakeup as you do even though I have clock never using now; as not use it for a long time, I am not sure it still works or not, let me have a look, hmm... luckily, it is still working!haha~
I think we should have a clock at least in our house even using cellphone to get time or others more. because there is always having chance to get to know time from clock such as phone is power off...

Like me - so I join your gang re cellphone - after a great resistance my daughter finally forced me to get myself a cellphone very recently - that too because once when we were outside she wanted to get in touch with us urgently & after that incident I gave in - but I rarely use it - mainly it is incoming calls or as a wake-up alarm!!!

We also have a clock in every room in addition to the wrist watch.I accept your view that the cell can be programmed to be used as an alarm clock to wake us early in the morning and has taken its place.But i find that when i wake up early in the morning the wrist watch is on the table and cell doesn't show the time immediately its easier to glance at the clock and find the exact time.We repair old clocks as and when they break down and only replace them if they are difficult to be repaired.

Yes and moreover when you are just out of sleep it is easier & faster to read the clock than fiddle with yr cellphone.

We dont have a clock at home. My husband and I have our wrists watch and we also have time in the computer and in our cellphones so we dont need a clock anymore. It also annoys me looking at clocks cause they mean something else to me and that has something to do with hurrying up. I dont want to hurry but most of the time I do so to get away from that kind of mindset that I am already late, then I dont look at the time. It sounds crazy and confusing but that's what I do.

We still use traditional clocks. It's like the main clock of the house. Whenever i come home even when i'm wearing a wrist watch i always look at that clock cuz It's like family time.

I have my wristwatch in my bedside table (only put it on when I go to an appointment) and an alarmclock with big numbers on my dressing table. But the clock I use most is the one that is part of the microwave oven. I almost never use the microwave oven but that clock is important for me. Most of the time though, it´s the computer watch that I see. As for cellphone, I don´t own one and never will as I´m against them.
