Everyday....prefer tritium analogs. So I rotate between a Luminox, Seiko, etc... for work and an Armourlite AL48 at home.

I wear a wach every day. It's like something is missing if I don't have it on.

I always wear a watch, and carry a clip knife.

I have used Luminox for the last 15 years or so. On one the numbers have worn down on the dial and the crystal is cracked and it still works.

I just had my more recent one tuned up. New crystal, new bezel, can't live without one. It is nice to be in the dark and not have to dick with something to see the time. Luminox glow bright all the time.

Not had a watch on in 10 or 20 years.

I wore a watch every day when I was working because the time of day was often important. (Appointments, meetings, etc., etc. ad nauseam)

Now that I'm retired, I never wear a watch except if I'm going somewhere that time is of the essence, then I put on my $12.95 battery-powered Wal*Mart watch.

Of course, when one is "retired", EVERY day is SATURDAY... and I never wear a watch on WEEKENDS !~!~! grin

I wear one, currently a Citizen titanium ecodrive. Not to expensive and mine is on line between sporty and dress wear. I wear it 24/7. I pop it off for a few seconds in the shower to wash it a bit, but thats it.

I tried the cell phone thing, but it had a couple of limitations. Its somewhat impolite to keep looking at your phone when with customers and in my off time I spend a bit of time in boats or water( summer) and in the backcountry the rest of the year, with no service and the iphone is heavy thing to tote around just to check time. Undoubtedly useful when you have service, but I seem to spend a fair amount of time without.

I have worn a watch since a day during my senior year in college when I ask a fellow who was probably about my current age if he knew what time it was. He looked me right in the eye and said "yes" and kept walking. That told me it was time to grow up and wear a watch like other men rather than acting like a kid. I wear cheap Timex camper watch on the weekends and working on the farm or more expensive watches I have recieved as gifts of the years when I wear a suit. I would rather leave my knife at home than my watch.

Currently I'm wearing an Amitron self winding watch, but I don't know why I even bother to wear a watch anymore as I have such a strong magnetic field that any watch I wear gains about ten minutes so I have to look at an atomic clock or the phone to get the right time.

Always.

Was just now asking my co-workers this question. It would seem you tell a man's age by the answer. grin

Other "Jewelry" looks like hell on a man. A watch and a ring or two is nice on a man, but other than that it just weirds me out.

Took a good 3 weeks to get used to not having a wrist watch on, but I don't wear one anymore. A cell phone is carried as frequently as a wallet; they're just too handy not to be a necessary accessory.
