As a younger man I don't habitually wear a watch. If I'm wearing a suit I wear my only and only watch.
Cell phone is more accurate anyway That is SOOOO metro-fugging-sexual. I wear a man's watch, a Seiko dive watch. Here's mine. Self winder I bought for myself as a graduation present. It looses a few minutes a day now, time for a new spring.

With the exception of showers and sleeping I always wear a wrist watch. Have 16 of them. A watch ho.
10 Citizen Eco Drives (3 of which are the radio controlled atomic clock synchronization chronograph versions touted by Citizen as the "worlds most accurate watch" losing 1 second over 20 million years).
1 Ben & Sons (quartz)
2 Invicta (quartz)
1 Swiss Legend Tungsten Pro (quartz)
2 Oakleys
Of the 16, I only use two for range and field use.
28 Nosler,,,,300WSM,,,,338-378 Wby,,,,375 Ruger

I've been wearing a wristwatch daily since the 3rd grade. None of them have been all that expensive. Instead, I found WWV on my Dad's shortwave and started syncing with it starting at age 12. I am probably the only person on here that has organized a Leap-Second party. I know, it's a sorry excuse for a party, but no more so than New Year's, right?
My current two are both Casios. My weekday one is a Time-Ceptor that gets a hack off WWV every night. My weekend watch is a Hunter Timer that gives local sunrise and sunset and moonphase as well as peak game periods. The latter is completely useless, except it did give me over a decade's entertainment proving it so.

A big part of my job Is getting 1 minute flow rates so I always have my watch. My wife says I have a 1 minute flow rate-I'm calling B.S.-I'm good for AT LEAST TWO!

I got away from wearing a watch about 20 years ago. I was doing a lot of work on optical lab equipment at the time, and I didn't want to get hung up inside a machine. I still have my dad's last Timex and drag it out every once in a while now. I usually pick up a throwaway digital on the way to deer camp and wear it until it craps out and then buy another one the next fall.

I wore a watch all my working life, a Timex (not the same one) and quit the day that I retired. I still put it in my pocket when I am hunting and need to know shooting hours and time of kill, for tags. I had an ink pen one time that had a watch in it that kept the best time of anything that I ever had, and a Timex is good. It also had the date, and knew the lengths of months, and when it was a leap year. It fell in a river and was lost and I never found another. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

We start every brief with a time hack from the naval observatory, so a watch is part of the uniform for me. Besides, what else would you shoot with your hands? Mr. JStuart- Still have the O&W? THIS. And Rolex overhauls are up to 750 now...

I, like some of you, am a watch whore. Not much into other types of jewelry but love watches. Always wanted a Breitling but could never afford it. Now I can and don't want to spend the money. Go figure... Still may get one anyway. I'd like to own a Luminox also.

Been thinking about replacing my old Luminox. Can't imagine not wearing a watch. Well, I guess I can, I just don't.

Nope, no watch here. I've never been a watch guy. If it's daytime I can tell time within 15 mins, if its night it doesn't matter.

I wear one only due to my volunteer EMS status.
If not for that, cell phone worked fine.

Yep a Cabela's titanium watch. Any other metals cause a rash.

Just curious how many folks still wear a wrist watch. I have carried a pager or cell phone for work for the past 20 years and use them to keep track of time. I have a watch I wear when I'm on vacation in the boondocks where I have no cell phone coverage. Otherwise, I have not worn a watch for many years. I never thought I would be comfortable without a wristwatch, but, I too, now rely on my cell phone, where I can. donsm70
