Do you still wear a watch?

I remember when wearing a watch was the easiest way to check the time. Now, most of us just pull out our phones. The funny thing is that sometimes I take out my phone to check the time, get distracted by something, and then forget to look at the time at all.
At that point, a watch would probably be more efficient.
Do you still wear a watch, or has your phone completely taken over that job? Which do you find more convenient?

The only time I think about time is when taking my meds
or going to my Dr visits when I need to, other than that
time comes & goes everyday, so I don't need a watch.

@2ndchances24 After what you've been through, I'd be keeping a close eye on everything too

@sol_cee With as bad as my health was when I got out of the hosp,
& as much as I have learned about my health from what I went through
I keep a close watch on my meds & appts, my health is # 1 in my book.

It’s been a while since I wore a watch, but recently I bought a digital one that monitors my blood glucose and blood pressure in real time, so I’m wearing a watch again for health reasons. The technology is still in its early stages, so the readings aren’t always accurate, and the traditional blood draw test is still the most reliable for checking glucose levels. I’m mainly using it to track trends in my glucose levels, and so far it has collected a lot of data showing I’m doing well. I’ll double-check next month when my lab tests are done to see if the results match the watch’s readings.

@sol_cee it probably is my newest one I bought for my 15 year anniversary. I have a 18kt gold two toned Rolex zombie. I wear on weekends if I’m going out somewhere nice, below is an image of my favorite watch

I always wore a watch …I needed it when I was at work . When I had my accident last year and my arm was swollen I couldn’t wear my watch. Now I just use my phone ….its not as practical for me , but I haven’t worn my watch in over a year ….i should go back to wearing it though ….

@Traceyjayne It would be nice if all it needs is a fresh battery after its long vacation in the drawer

I only wear a wristwatch when I go to visit my doctor since there are no clocks inside of the medical center while there are clocks inside of the home.

@Deepizzaguy Oh, okay!
I was wondering why there weren't any clocks. The renovation explains it

@Jehanne Oh wow, that close? I wonder if that has influenced a lot of people in your area to become soldiers or police officers. I mean, growing up seeing them around every day and hearing their drills and chants must make the profession feel more familiar

@sol_cee the military camp is a 5mins walk and just across our home is the camp of police mobile troop.
True, it's the neighborhood clock. Their early jog and chants in chorus as well could be heard in the entire neighborhood. That somehow made you want to joined them.

Not anymore. When I was younger, I wore a watch every day.

I don't used my phone looking at the time as well.
Since our home is near a camp. A bell is my time.
While I was at work. I can easily see the time in my monitor.
