I don't have a watch and I always forget that my phone has that function.:w00t: Then someone will ask the time and I say... I don't know I dont have a watch and they will say...duh! you have a cell right there. It is the new way of things isn't it. To tell time with one's phone.

Sometimes I'll look at the time on the cell phone, but I try not to do that because I don't want to be a tightly wound up prick.

I used to wear a watch years ago, but at my last job, I couldn't due to safety, it could get caught in the machinary, but now, since I actually have a cell, that's what I use.

I use my cell phone... Though I wear a watch. I stopped wearing watches for a couple years and got used to looking at my cell phone. For the past couple of years I have been wearing watches but I usually forget it is there so I pull out the cell phone. I have been pretty good about looking at my watch for the past 6 months though sometimes I still use my cell.

my deal with watches are their weight... I bought an ultralight titanium watch that i loved wearing because it didnt feel like i was wearing a watch. then the battery died and its been sitting on the counter for almost a year. hehee
