do you still wear a wrist watch and if so when you put it on is that when your day begins. that is how I feel about mine, if my watch is sitting on the shelf my day is just for kicking around, but as soon as I put it on...it's all business.
 

Very seldom. I have some nice watches and some to just "kick around" in, but just got away from wearing one.
 
I wear mine all day, only taking it off at night. I have a man's digital atomic watch as I like to know the time to the second.
 

Yep, a cheap Wally Watch that I just replace rather than replace the battery when the time comes...
 
I have only one wrist watch... A nice Movado.. On workdays, I put it on at 5AM and remove it when I get home at 3PM.. I have had that watch for 10 years.
 
I wear a wristwatch, got some really nice deals on watches on ebay. I wouldn't leave home without one. Basically, I prefer the watch to looking to my phone since I am rarely on my phone except to use it as a ipod.
 
I love watches..I wear one all the time.. just one of many that I own. My watches are expensive..but I wear a basic nice looking timex for work!!

I couldn't wear a man's watch , I'm only petite so it would look like I was wearing a grandfather clock on my arm..
 
Actually I found dolls extremely creepy..and boys toys were much more appealing..climbing trees...riding horses..hated wearing dresses.(I always felt like I had no knickers on wearing them)..so I guess I must be a ''tomboy'' as well!..:D
 
The worst thing was..my mother made me wear a dress on Sundays..I used to be ejected out of our front door..and I would sit on the front step, sulking and refusing to go into the street!
 
I have an Omega "Speedmaster" which I wore when I was still flying. It's the same watch issued to the astronauts,.
I wear it occasionally but my "everyday" watch is the same kind that JustMe mentioned; no batteries, no winding etc.
and it keeps time to the EXACT second. Also it sets itself when the time changes. I put it on when I get dressed in
the morning and take it off just before I go to bed at night.

Tell me about it! Sunday was a nightmare! My mother liked her four daughters, of which I am the eldest to be beautifully dressed for church, hats, gloves the works.:mad: Mum always wore sophisticated designer clothes, she would turn male heads as she walked down the aisle with her daughters walking behind her! We had to wear our pretty clothes ALL day and woe betide us if we got them messy, no climbing trees for me on a Sunday!:(
 
I put on my watch first thing in the morning and wear it all day. I may be retired, but still like to know what time it is.I have several, all gold and small and neat.I remember when I was a teenager, and large watches were all the rage [and I was a small slip of a girl] I was wearing a very large blue watch with a blue strap, and somebody said on seeing it 'wow, that's a humdinger!'
Having never heard this experssion before, I worried about it all day until my Mother told me what it meant, and laughed.
 
Never leave home without it. Mine does military time. Writing tickets, some of us old schoolers still use military time. Besides, it confuses the hell out of those that were never in the military.
 
Nowadays most get their times from their cell phone wish to me doesnt make any sense.
A flip of the wrist and there's your time,day and date.
With a cell you got find it first "where the hell is that phone?" and hope there is still power in it to read the time.
