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.

I do not wear a watch, not for years but did before transition, I rather wear bracelets now.

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.
Yes
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.

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.

If you wear TWO (2) watches, you would be a two timer.
Not good.
Not wise.
Wrong.
Right now I'm wearing an analog watch with a pink strap. I just get cheap watches because batteries are so expensive, so it's cheaper to just get a new watch.

That makes sense.
I wear an Apple Watch which has it's own data plan and cell connectivity so even if
I leave my iPhone at home I can use it to make and receive phone calls and data.
It is also paired to my iPhone so I can recieve and make calls from that cell number as well....
...... I am "connected"

No, I kind of like using "ish" as a word. What time is it? It's lunchtime-ish. ;D My life isn't really in a place where I need to rely on punctuality right now.
A watch is not needed as much if you have a telephone with you.
However, it is nice to see Minnie's arms point to the hours and minutes on a more girly style watch.
Or SNOOPY antics on a smart watch.
Chrissy
No.There's a clock on my cell phone.
I haven't worn a watch in years. I used to wear a diver's watch because my hands were often underwater. Then I learned that smacking said watch against a rock instantly removes all waterproof features. After replacing the crystal several times, I gave up.
Now I tell time using (STRT), Sephirah's Temporal Reckoning Technique, with descriptive terms like "day", "night", or "hungry-ish". ;D
I do sometimes

Lol, I should patent that. ;D

Mine's an Apple Watch too but without the cell connectivity. It's more of a remote control for the iPhone. Pretty much anything you can do on the phone you can do on the watch. Most things are easier on the phone but for previewing messages, it's awesome. It's also great for driving navigation, the next turn information shows up on your wrist, that's already in front of your face.
