Do you wear a regular watch anymore (one that only tells time)

chiclet — Sat, 01 Jan 2022 12:12:24 GMT

I notice they do not seem to sell them on QVC much anymore. I am retired so I never wear one at home and when I go out I have my phone to tell the time or the one in the car. Occasionally I will put it on but never look at it. I think now a lot of people are wearing fitbit type watches and Apple watches. I would like to have an apple watch and hooked up to cellular so when I walk I could call for help if I fall or even in the house if I fell. Just so expensive.

I only wear my Apple Watch. I haven't worn a regular watch in decades. I'm not sure I even have one any more and if I do I know it would need a new battery. I would say spring for the Apple watch. It's extremely handy.

Love my Apple Watch. I always wore a watch also. If I don't have something on my wrist I feel like something is missing.

Yes, I do wear a watch. I have a Seiko and a couple of Timex watches. Rarely look at my cell phone and have no desire for a Fit Bit or any other kind of complicated time piece.

I wear a regular watch. I have several Isaac expandable watches - different styles to go with different outfits.

I'm never without my watch, I never look at the phone for the time. I also like the look of a regular watch.

Happy New year! Yes I still wear a traditional watch. I love my watch and it has interchangeable bands also. However, I'm looking to buy an I watch for fitness. I'm on the fence about which model. I'm going to the apple store to check them out.

I have a collection of traditional watches (maybe 10?) and wear one from that collection every day.

I only wear a regular watch. I don't own a Fitbit or an Apple Watch and have no desire to.

I do! They're much easier than pulling out my phone to see the time. I can glance at it without anyone knowing I'm checking the time, lol. I don't need the bells & whistles on electronic watches, I just want to know the time.

I've always worn a watch. I use my iPhone all the time but don't want to pull it out to see the time when I'm out.

A couple of months ago I bought an Apple Watch and love it! I've had some health issues lately and liked the fact that it would do a one line ECG and also notify you if your pulse was too high or low.

I also really liked the fact that it would notify your emergency contact and call 911 if it detected you'd had a hard fall. I've never fallen, but that's always a possibility. I'm very happy with my new watch.

I used to have and wear a different watch every day when I worked. But since I'm home all day, no need. I gave all away except for a few favorites. I will occasionally wear one when I go out. I don't have a need for a fitbit or the like and think that they are not very attractive.

I wear a regular watch. I have many and enjoy wearing them as an accessory. I have never purchased a smart watch, but I am intigued by them. My exercise routine is well established, so I don't need one for that, but I might like getting text messages, etc. on my wrist. I'm not sure I'd like to wear the same watch everyday.

I haven't worn a watch since I retired. I have some very nice watches and am going to donate them. I'll hang on to my Apple watch just in case I want to re-activate it sometime.

Still wear a watch when I go out. Have a cell phone but rarely use it. I like a watch with a big face so I wear a man's watch.

I haven't worn a regular watch in probably a decade. I wear a Samsung watch, I like that it does steps, notifications & I can even answer my phone with my watch though I must say I feel like an idiot talking to my watch so I only use it in a pinch. It's like having a little wearable computer!
