So when you wake up, you don't look at your alarm clock?
Then when you walk to the kitchen you don't look at your microwave?
Then when you get in the car, you don't look at the car clock, or hear them announce the time on the radio? (or perhaps the clock at the bus stop or on the train platform)
Then when you get to work, you don't look at the clock on your computer, or the cash register? (Or perhaps in the classroom if you're at university?)
Then when you go for your lunch break, you don't look at all the clocks in the shopping centre, or above train station entrances, or on buildings?
...and you don't own a mobile phone which you carry around? |

I'd rather have something on my wrist that I can always look at.
Quit justifying your reluctance to spend money on a watch with trumped up nonsense. |

I may as well buy a barometer so that I can know what the weather is going to be tomorrow. |

I don't wear a watch to bed. I don't wear a watch out to the kitchen in the morning or out there before I go to bed. This point is invalid.

I do.

When I'm at the register? Yeah. When I'm on my laptop in class? Yeah. However, most of the time that I'm at work is spent stocking shelves, interacting with customers, etc. I don't have the time to pull out my cellphone because not only am I too busy but it also gives my supervisors and managers the impression that I may be texting. I also know that I, as a customer, would rather see someone doing their job than looking at their cellphone when they have more important things to do.

If I want to check the time, I don't use my cellphone. It's in my pocket, my watch is on my wrist. Which is quicker? Also, please refer to what I just said about my job. I also sometimes feel like checking the time when I'm in a movie theatre. I believe that opening your cellphone in a theatre is disrespectful and rude to people sitting behind you, so checking my watch avoids that.
I can go on, and on, and on, and on. So your "watches are no longer needed in Western civilization" bull.
And god ing damnit was that painful to type with my ed finger. |

By the way, this is the only good argument against watches I've read...

I haven't worn a watch in the last decade. Nothing is worth losing your sense of what time it is now rather than the implication of your relevance to events that have not even occurred yet. |

heh, well, being able to afford a watch/phone was basically a lie I made up to try to cover for my blaring sense of self-righteous philosophy. I really do hate knowing what time it is and I also hate talking to people on the phone - so there you have it. :p
Really though, I think that a lot of what is considered to be "civilized culture" is far too wrapped up in the future. People have meetings and appointments and other tripe that keeps them from appreciating the now. Watches are just tools people use to get their life in what they mistakingly consider to be some sense of 'order' and I don't really believe that's the answer. I know it doesn't make me happy. So yeah, not wearing a watch is what I would just consider a 'lifestyle choice'. Maybe one of these days, I will even gather the courage to tell my parents about it. :p |

That's what my mobile phone is mainly for. And, prior to that, my digital diary.
Anyway, last year I was given a watch by my girlfriend's mother. It looks like this...
... without that smaller circle inside. |

And I wear it because I like, not because I need it. |
