It seems odd to me that people bother wearing watches anymore other than to show off (e.g. a Rolex or some such).
Computers have clocks on them.
Cars have clocks in them.
Cell phones and PDAs have clocks on them.
If I'm some place where I don't have access to one of those three, I probably don't want to be bothered with what time it is anyways...
Watches can break, need battery replacements, get stolen, and leave that horribly tacky untanned band on your wrist. What a pain in the ass.
Why do YOU still wear a watch?

I am so used to having a watch always. I never look at other clocks much unless I've looked at my bare wrist first.

Woah! For a second I had a flashback of some training session from 1998 on the impending doom approaching at midnight 12/31/1999.
While I do work at a computer all day I don't own a PDA and I only get custody of the family cell phone on weekends. Also, neither of these is comfortable when strapped to my wrist. So those times when I want to know the time I would have to dig them out, sometimes turn them on, an

2. I can see what time it is with a twist of my wrist rather than having to dig out my cell phone. This is especially useful when riding my bike.
3. My watch keeps better time than my cell phone or any other clock I have access to that isn't synched to an atomic clock.
4. I know what time base I set my watch from and what the offset is. This isn't always the case when using whatever the first random clock I find is.

Probably the only American under 30 (for six more months, anyways) without a mobile phone.
Plus, my watch has the Detroit Tigers Logo on it.
