Out of curosity, how many of you still wear a watch for the purpose of actually keeping time? Or do you just wear the watch out of habit and rely on your cell phones clock these days to tell you exact time instead of having to rely on the hands of your clock?
How many of you have given up on watches all togeather and exclusively use your cell phones clock now?

I don't wear a watch on a daily basis anymore, mainly because there is no need to. I have my PC in front of me for most of the day and it has a perfectly serviceable clock. However when I travel I wear a watch, simply because airports tend to hire experts in the field of clock hiding and camouflage. Especially in modern terminals where any sort of time display is usually incorporated into the flight information display and is therefore unreadable from more than a metre away. Airports should have large clocks like old train stations used to have.

Always. When I don't have it on, I still look at my wrist out of habit before pulling out my phone to check the time.

Heh I go on jogs, and I normally bring my watch so I soon developed what I call"a watch tan".
I stopped wearing one and fell directly into this habit.

Cell phone here. At home and at work I have widget clocks on my pc's not to mention at work theres a clock every 40 yards in any direction.
While driving I have a dashboard clock on the truck and jeep and if I ever get around to it I can program the clock in the stereos too (same with microwave) and there are also clock on the moving billboards at like banks n such.
For the rest of the time it's the cellphone.
I used to be one of those kids in school who always had a watch though and the ghostly pale white stripe of skin to go with it.

As for me, I actually wea a pocket watch. I never liked wearing a watch when I was younger as the rubber band would stick to the skin and if it was a particularly hot day it would be even more unconfortable having it on. I try not to use my cell phone for its clock feature, though if im in a car its more practical to use the cell phones watch over the pocket watch.

I haven't worn a watch in many years. I never liked the white shadow left in summer and with my mobile phone and iPod Touch both having clocks I don't see the need.

I wear watches but not so much as a timepiece and more of an accessory in the same sense as a belt and cuff links, the line to draw is between taste and trash and wear something quality but still discreet.

I always wear a watch, though if I'm sat at a computer (or sat anywhere for a long time) I normally take it off else it starts to get uncomfortable. It's fine if I'm moving around a lot though.

In my line of work, I need to be aware of the time at all times, so a watch is a must for me. Quite frankly, I don't have time to dig out the phone or look for a clock every 3 minutes or less.

I need to know what the time is at work, unfortunately mobile phones are banned, so I wear a watch.

I still wear a watch all the time. It's just much more practical than taking the cell phone out of the pocket and checking the time.

I often keep my cellphone in a buttoned-up pouch on my vest/in one of my backpack straps (you know the ones that have pockets and all) so its easier and faster for me to look at my watch.
Also, even on my PC, I have my watch on the side of the keyboard and use that as well, even though normally the desktop of any windows Pc has the clock in the bottom right. The problem is that its usually in too-small a font due to my resolution size, and my watch is way bigger.

I wear a watch constantly, as I always have to know the time, and am constantly planning things out. I remember when I was 5 I got a micky mouse analog watch for christmas to learn to tell time. Then I remember in 1995 I had a basic timex digital watch that I wore every where, much to the point the case cracked and the water resistance was no good, and I accidently jumped in the water at the beach with it on. Surprisingly it still worked, but the display was buggered. Then I got a nicer analog watch after that, with the rotating dial on the outside with indiglo (I've always had Timex as long as I can remember, except the Micky Mouse, don't remember the brand). That lasted until I started high school when I got a really nice Timex Iron Man with an internal memory for up to 50 laps on the chronograph, 5 timers, 10 alarms and a small phone book (used a small LED thing to read flashing lines off the monitor to store it) with a second time zone (set to EVE time of course). That lasted me 7 years until I got my newest watch in January 2007, a nice Timex Perpetual Calendar analog watch with date display. It looks nice, and professional. Ny next watch when I get the money and presteige will be a nice Tag Heur, going to spend 2 grand for an nice automatic watch that will keep me going for the next 50 years until I can get a Rolex.
I still check my cell phone for the time when I need to sync up with friends for a meeting, but my watch is my primary. A day with out my watch is a day of insanity, I remember a few times forgetting my watch and going crazy about not knowing the time. With out my cell its peace and quiet. One time I left my watch at my GFs house, and spent 20 minutes fishing out an old digital watch from behind the fridge because it was driving my insane not having a watch on.
My watch is never very far from me, when on the computer its on my desk or in a pocket usually, and I carry it around when not wearing it. Its like an extention of my self, you don't realize how important and useful it is until you don't have it.

Can't remember the last time I didn't wear a watch, without there being some very good reason not to wear one( being ill, taking a shower, etc.)
Current watch is getting close to 11years of service and you can tell by the way my wrist looks. Especially during the summer months.
STill actually use my watch to check the time too. Althoug for some reason I grab my phone once in a while too. Which takes about a minute just to check the time because I always have the keys locked so the screen turns black. Only place I never use my watch to check the time is in the car. Got its own clock which allows me to keep both hands on the wheel.

Yes I pretty much always wear a watch, and it has to be within a couple of seconds of the correct time. My Linux servers run "ntpd" so are perma-synched with an accurate time serverr, so when I'm logged into one of those I tend to set my watch by that.

Don't need one. I'm either in front of a computer, in my car or in a room with a clock. Failing that my wife has a phone that has a clock on it!

For a long time I switched to using my phone to tell the time, but eventually I went back to a watch as it is more convenient, and its there the odd time I don't have my phone, like in a cinema.
And I always want to tell the time when I'm in the cinema, because I'm always wondering how long until the film starts.
