There was a time when wrist watches were the only ones that were watched the most. Wall clocks, time pieces also got equal importance..
Then cam computers followed by mobiles
We all have choices now and it depends on the individeual what they look at the most I am a homebody and the most I look at are the wall clocks. We have two of them.
Wrist watches these days have more features and they are normally chosen by those who are health conscious
I do have have any wristwatches and have never felt for their needs.
What's your story?

I seldom wear a wrist watch these days. Just use my mobile to check the time.

Not many these days are seen wearing watches. Is it a special watch?

@allknowing No, a very ordinary one. if I had a special one I would be bound to lose it or damage it somehow!

I have one wrist watch that is very beautiful. I bought it for myself many years ago..whether it works or not, I have no idea..I have it wrapped in cloth put away.
It is not valuable at all.
I have one clock on the wall, which hung in my Mother's place when she was alive..RIP

I too have one like that just put away and I too am not sure if it works. That clock on the wall must be reminding you of your dear mother

@allknowing The picture of wall clock with 12 different birds in the dial designed instead of numbers is really good.
I have 4 wall clocks the one is a complement from Sensodyne.
I have Fast-track wrist watch, but I am not wearing it now .

Those birds used to chirp but no longer do. I tried to fix it but no luck.
What is fast-track?

@allknowing Aaw it would be nice if the birds use to chirp .. I think it will be fixed by the manufacturer's service centre.
Fastrack is the wrist watch I wore long back

Although I am sitting right in front of the computer I will always look at the wall clock to see the time
I wonder if there is business for wrist watches these days

I still wear a watch, it's easier than getting my phone out of my pocket. And I don't always have the phone with me anyway. For example if I'm working in the garden, I can easily glance at my watch, I may not take the phone and if I do I don't really want to put my muddy hand in my pocket to get it out and then get dirt all over it!

I thought Fitbit is worn only when one walks?

@allknowing It is a watch. It also gauges your sleep. Some will connect to your phone so you can answer it and other things to

Although I can use my cell phone to tell the time I always wear a wristwatch when going to the beach. I also find it useful to wear when participating in sports activities like tennis or golf, and walks on the boardwalk.

That is exactly what I thought many would wear fitness watches.

I spent some time with an electronic watch when I was a child, but it quickly broke down. Later on, I stopped wearing a watch, but I saw many boys like to wear watches. They like brand watches, ranging from thousands of yuan to hundreds of thousands of yuan, which seems to be a symbol of taste and economic strength.I'm talking about RMB.1 US dollar equals 7.31 RMB

Many follow trends and spend loads on it. Good you do not spend like that It is not necessary
