Watches seem to stop when I wear them...I was told that I had some kind of magnetic thing going on with me. I dunno. I have a nice gold Pulsar that has been sitting in my desk for years that I don't wear because of it.

I do, but I usually use my cell phone for the time since I oddly trust Verizon Wireless to keep time more than I do the time I set on my watch. So my watch is basically just a mechanical bracelet, I guess.

Usually only at work but less and less. Of course, I no longer wear a suit and top hat either.

Been using my cell phone or PDA for time since 1991... the last watch I bought was in 1989.

Not anymore. The battery in mine died, so I just got into the habit of looking at the time on my cell phone or on my computer.

Plus, it's too hot to wear one. It would always stick to my wrist and then I'd find myself doing this crazy arm-shake-thing to get it loose. I ended up smacking one of my kids in the face trying to get it unstuck one day. Ooops.

Maybe I should make the jump & become Amish. It appears I'm close enough to it now!
I don't carry a cellphone & only bring it along when I travel. I don't really know what a PDA or blackberry are. I cannot text message to save my life, and I still wear a watch.

I am sure that crowds of people are pointing at me behind my back and waiting for my knuckles to start dragging on the ground.

Yes, but primarily as a fashion statement. Hey, I'm part of the swatch generation, what can I say?

yes, I still do. no cell phone. This is an interesting question, as you guys are right--I guess most folks are using their phones for the time now.

I only wear one when I dress up. I got so sick of people telling me that I am late (which I am not because I make up my own sched.) that I stopped wearing one. Live with my cell phone on.

Have to use one at work - no cell phones allowed in a school. That keeps me in the habit of always using it.

Hells yeah. I hate not IMMEDIATELY knowing what the time is when I want to know. I'm constantly getting new ones (usually as gifts) and enjoy the envious looks I get from coworkers. [}:)] I am currently saving up to buy this baby:
