Before I transitioned, I always wore a watch. I felt lost without one.

After transitioning, I never wear a watch. I don't miss it at all.

I use an Apple Watch with a nice feminine band with a flower motive.

I Apple Watch for me as well. Now that I'mm a fairly high fall risk it makes it easier for others know when that happens so as to get help to me sooner. Hugs

I'm currently wearing a FitBit Charge 5. It was my birthday present to replace my Charge 3 which was getting too dim to read in sunlight.

Time management is a big portion of my life. I always wear a watch. My current watch is a cheap Timex Ironman Triathlon watch in pink and black. I don't need all the bells and whistles of a smart watch, so this suits my needs just fine.

I have always wore a watch in my male oriented past life.  Before the crash, I posted about how my recent purchase of an Apple IWatch is credited with saving my life per my doctor.

Thanks,

In my 20s when I went out but its dangerous to wear one when working on cars so never when working, always have loads of clocks around in my flat and workshop. Do have a good sense of time though and never far off at a guess, my phone is my watch now.

I wore a fitbit charge 5 for a while until it started telling me it was Tuesday all the time, no matter the day... and finally switched to an Apple Watch and really like it. It's mostly to track activity and sleep, but I think I've always been a watch person... so I'm glad to have an excuse to wear it.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.

A watch is good to wear to keep track of exercise and to tell the time of course.

I do not wear one all the time and usually not when at home.  I wear it more when I  am more active.

I wore a watch to work for so many years. I'd get to work and take it off because didn't feel comfortable while I was on the keyboard.  I'd put it back on for the drive home, then I'd take it off so's not to damage it working in the yard.

When I got a mobile phone I stopped waring a watch.  A few years back I got an Apple Watch.  For what ever reason it does not bother me at the keyboard.  I wear it from the time I get up to when I go to bed.  It works so well with the iPhone that I feel lost without it.

I did get the smaller watch with the red case.  A red watch band too. The larger watch seemed too masculine.

I always wear a watch.  A plain old analogue watch, with two hands.  It doesn't have wifi or monitor my heart rate or any fancy-pants stuff like that, but it does keep accurate time.

My wife doesn't wear one, and it drives me crazy.  She has no concept of time or how long anything takes to do, and will think it is 2:00 when it is really 4:30. She is always asking me for the time.

no watch. In really old days it was not practical to wear one while working as it messed up my arm. I carried one of those cool pens, with digital clock, in my shirt pocket.

Later, after changing careers, the metal band shorted across the back of an alternator during a weekend repair. I still have the scar, I no longer have the watch. I've not worn a watch since.
I left the door open, only a few came through. such is my life.

Ouch.  I've heard of this with rings, wedding bands mostly.

It was not pleasant. It got infected, made it to my shoulder before the antibiotics kicked in and stopped it.

I wear a smart watch and switch out the bands often (mostly cute pastel or floral pattern bands that I buy on Amazon for a very low cost. I think matching my band color to my outfit makes for a nice accessory!

I never thought of doing that.  It makes sense.  I probably will not do that.  I do change up on bracelets and other adornments.
