Why just one watch?

I only need one. I wear it for practical reasons because I like to know the time. I wear it on my left wrist cause its safer there.
Im right handed. If I wore it on my right wrist it wouldnt survive. It barely survives on my left. I like a nice sturdy watch with a stretchy band that I can push up out of harms way when Im working on something. I prefer a mans watch. Womens look like kids watches on me. Also I cant see the time without a magnifying glass. Right now Im wearing the husbands Timex, but I have a bunch of vintage ones that I sometimes wear for out and about. One of my favorites is an older Elgin that was his grandfathers.

For me checking the time on my phone is really inconvenient. Swiping and all that. Also I think it can be rude. Im having a conversation and youre checking the time like you cant wait to escape. FYI. Its less obvious to sneak a peak at your watch if you need to escape. :D
 

I actually have two watches, they are health tracker smartwatches, but I only would wear one at a time. I was going to return the 2nd watch to Amazon, but it was inexpensive, and I started to like it so I kept it.

Many people don't even where one watch today, but those that do why just one? Why not a watch on each wrist?

My collection of watches are mostly vintage, meaning that they are clockwork, you wind them up. Choosing which one to wear is much the same as which tie, which cuff-links and so on, they are an accessory. To see the time I could just look at my phone, but I never remember to. All my phone ever gets used for is voice and text messages.
Did you know that back in pre-technology days, men wore their wrist watch on the left whilst women wore their's on the right. Wiki explained it in some gobble-de-gook, so I'm none the wiser. My watch is always worn on the right.

What I was told when I was a kid is people wore watches on whichever wrist wasn't their writing hand.. so watches wouldn't get in the way when they were writing.

I agree; it's so much easier to check the time by just glancing at my wrist than digging my phone out of my pocket and waking it up.
