If you have a cell phone, do you still wear a watch?

I quit wearing a wrist watch once I finally went to a Smart Phone in 2017. The men could not stand me still using a old Flip Phone...

I was hard on wrist watches when working offshore and would use the lower cost Timex's as they was tough and if/when I tore one up it was cheap to replace.

When I was Roughnecking, I did not wear any jewelry (wedding ring) or watches as you could get hung up in Cat Lines or the Spinning Chain and then would be known as Stumpy...
 
I never enjoyed wearing a watch or other jewelry.

The iPhone, computer, car, microwave, and television are all more than happy to provide the time.

I’m never tethered to my cell phone. It sits in the glove box of my car for emergency use on the road, and I only bought one because pay phones became functionally extinct.

Watches I am never without. I even wear an lcd one to bed that illuminates the dial at the push of a button so I can tell what the heck hour it is when I wake up In the darkness.

I love little machines and devices, and watches and clocks fall into that category. I scrimped and saved until I had enough money to buy my first watch at the age of ten. The cheap mechanical thing gained or lost at least ten minutes a day, but I loved holding it up to my ear so I could hear it tick, and I always knew what time it was, within a few minutes, that is… ⏰
