Do you wear a watch?

[Lumine]

Yes, I've always liked wearing one. And, the one I have now is a gift from my late grandfather, so it also serves as a way to remember him (as we were very close).

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

No, because it feels all weird on my wrist and I can never remember to put it on. I've been told I should get a watch fob, though.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

A digital watch, so it's strictly functional. I feel naked without it.

Me too

Same here, on my left wrist.

[TDAS04]

I do not.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I'm left-handed and wear it on my left wrist.  Is that 'wrong' somehow? 

Presumably it gets in the way when writing with your left hand or something?

Nope. I think it's just a weird hangover some strange people have from the days of pocket watches.

[Oakvale]

I'm left-handed and wear a watch on my right solely because it's slightly easier to put it on that way.

e: I also found out recently that apparently it's a fashion faux-pas or something to wear a belt from left to right, which I assume is also a left-handed vs. right-handed thing. Truly we are a persecuted minority.

[7,052,770]

Of course. I too feel naked without it.

Clockwise belt is that ratchet sh**t.

wtf who even notices that kind of thing on another person?  (Simfan wouldn't count; he's not a real person.)

[angus]

unless I am submerged in water.

?!

But that's exactly the only time you ever really need one.

Seriously though is something like that even observable? Unless you stared at their waist or something I don't see how.

[angus]

I think I always wear a belt "from left to right." 

Well, nobody would ever notice anyway.  There are certain personal acts which require manipulation and no one will know which hand you use to manipulate it unless they ask.  Or unless they get close enough to your crotch to see which way the object is hanging.  Your belt falls into that category.

[ElectionsGuy]

No, no need to.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

No. I'm not an old man.

No. Old man normal.

[anvi]

Yeah.  Partly out of habit, but I also have a practical reason.  I can't see so well and often can't make out the time on wall clocks.  I also don't carry my phone everywhere, certainly not into class when I teach or into meetings--the watch is much more convenient and less distracting in those situations.

[windjammer]

I always wear a watch. Everytime! I love wearing a watch.

[Vosem]

No, I have a phone.

[The Dowager Mod]

Depends on the outfit.

[DC Al Fine]

I wear a watch. It's one of the few socially acceptable pieces of men's jewelry.

[Sopranos Republican]

Nah, I'm young and hip, so obviously I have a digital implant in my hand that tells me the time upon request. It also vaporizes marijuana into my nostrils when I get a "headache."

[Cincinnatus]

Yes, I have to know what time it is, and I'm too old to check my phone for the time.

Left or right wrist? Or do you wait until you're in the mirror to make that decision? (No wrong answer btw)

You wear it on your non-dominant hand/wrist, and I was under the assumption this was common knowledge.  Of course, I only wear a nice watch when I have to wear a suit, which I find is becoming a usual thing of late.

[RogueBeaver]

Usually.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Yes, although jewelry is usually a no-no in my church.

[angus]

My son won a watch today.  Yay!  I ran 5000 meters.  Yay! 

We went to this Family Fun Run thing, and my wife and son ran the 1K.  I ran the 5K.  Came in about 10th out of about 50, and no old ladies or children passed me.  Legs are sore.  So sore.  I don't usually run or unless I'm late to class, or unless I notice that it's 8:55 pm and I'm out of booze.  (The liquor store is a six-minute walk, but if I run the whole way it's just under 3.)

Anyway, everyone got free t-shirts and my son got a Rawlins football.  Nicely made too.  Then there was a meal and a drawing at the end.  My son got called for a Puma sports watch alarm chronograph with all sorts of functions.  I actually bought him a nice Pulsar for Christmas, originally $99 but 50% off at Boscovs.  He wore that for about a month before he lost it.  I was bummed.  Anyway, I hope he hangs onto this one more than a month.  It's digital.  I prefer face watches, but this one was free and it seems nice, probably similar in quality to the one he lost.

You're talking about common knowledge. I'm talking about Bushie.
