the only reason people wear a watch on their other wrist is so they can point at it using their strongest finger. if you've mastered the art of using your left hand for everyday gestures, it'll almost certainly be fine.
'oh great, a watch! something to have on my wrist the whole time!....and....a gold strap....yes, nice. I've always thought men who wear gold look very classy...yes, that's...lovely, thank you' *closes box*
but I found I just looked at it all the time and strapping something to my wrist was a bit of a drastic move for the convenience of knowing the time at a second's notice. I just use my phone these days. There will come a time when phones replace everything, so we won't need even a wallet as we will just use contactless. Same with house keys. We probably won't even call them phones any more as that would be a minor function of what they do. We may even strap them to our wrist.
I've got a watch and I really like it, but I haven't wore it for years - I don't really like the feeling of things being on me that don't need to be. I don't really want to 'get used to it' either.
And I don't wear my wedding ring - I'm not one for wearing any jewellery.
It also gives da hunnyeez a bit of (false) hope in life.
it has run out of batteries now, which says a lot about how long ago my 21st birthday was. Turns out it is some specially vaccuum sealed thing and it is 30 quid (cheapest price I have found) to get it swapped out. All I want to do is get it running so I can sell it.
and kind of get stuck about an inch away from where they should be like a weird wristband. Doesn't matter how loose or tight I have the strap, just does it when my hand is upright.
You can't really read it in direct sunlight, and you need to use your spare hand to press the button to make it light up, and it only stays on for 4 seconds when you do, but whatever. It was only £5 and makes me look like I'm from an early 80s vision of the near future.
No
Yes, I'm a bit of a cunt.
Yes, on the left wrist with the face on the inside of my wrist
(I'm a bit of a cunt)
i'm neither a watch-wearer nor a wallet-carrier.
both things are completely unecessary.
I like a wallet to carry my money and cards in.
Useful if I want to buy something.
I follow this same logic when wanting to know the time.
you also carry a phone which tells you the time...
and have pockets in which to carry money.
amazing outside-the-box thinking on my part here, i realise, but stick with me for a minute.
dont have a phone
and its easier to look at your wrist than it is to get a phone out of your pocket.
yes you do have a phone.
no indie points on offer here.
pockets seem a little decadent
you could just tape those items to your chest
Or store them in your mouth
like a small animal might do with food.
it's almost as if pockets don't work!
also, there's a security thing, surely?
you could lose your wallet containing all your money, ID and cards.
you're unlikely to lose your trousers.
common sense.
Yeah maybe it's unlikely for you, Captain Suave
Think of the rest of us
I lost my wallet on Saturday
Did not lose my trousers though, so Forza is right!
i've never had things fall out of a hole in my wallet
I'm not quite sure I can properly tell the time so I usually don't
When someone asks you the time you're supposed to give an incredibly hilarious answer like "BEER O'CLOCK WOOO!!!!"
Watches are more of a comedy prop than a functioning timepiece these days.
Yeah what's the time?
Let me look.
<turn wrist, spill beer down front>
BRILLIANT
BBC3 have commissioned sitcoms on less than this.
"it's time to get ill!"
yes
Yes, but on my right wrist even though I'm right-handed.
Think that puts me in the "bit of a cunt" pile too.
that's fine.

got bought a watch recently

terrorist!
I wear a watch
And I'm not a cunt.
Why on earth would wearing a watch make you a bit of a cunt?!?!
Got a mirror in the vicinity, Orchard?
I haven't, but ironically I can use the camera on my phone
And I'm looking mighty fine.
How about you? You're worried about looking like a cunt, aren't you? I can tell.
Textbook watch-wearer denial.
It would be useful to wear a watch
but I found I just looked at it all the time and strapping something to my wrist was a bit of a drastic move for the convenience of knowing the time at a second's notice. I just use my phone these days. There will come a time when phones replace everything, so we won't need even a wallet as we will just use contactless. Same with house keys.

I'd like to own a nice watch, but I hate wearing them
I don't wear any jewellery - don't like the feeling on my skin.
That said, I'd love me one of these:

Used to hate my wedding ring - never got used to wearing it
Shoulda seen the signs, shoulda seen the signs......
:(
My watch looks really good
Most people's watches look really bad so I get the hate
I think I might start wearing a pocket watch
You got pockets?
*flavor flav clock
Have considered this
Always thought it looked cool. Now I'm in my 40s it would just make me look like an old twat
No, this is the kind of affectation you can get away with more as you mature
Mature
I like that. Hmmm...
lol steampunk
I got a swanky watch for my 21st
it has run out of batteries now, which says a lot about how long ago my 21st birthday was. Turns out it is some specially vaccuum sealed thing and it is 30 quid (cheapest price I have found) to get it swapped out. All I want to do is get it running so I can sell it.
My wrist feels naked without one.
and no one wants a naked wrist
my watch has a light on it.
My watch has numbers on it
only 12 and 6 though.
out-there.
how do you tell if its 8 oclock?
What's 12 minus 6 you idiot?
I find they ride up my wrist
and kind of get stuck about an inch away from where they should be like a weird wristband. Doesn't matter how loose or tight I have the strap, just does it when my hand is upright.
I put a battery in my watch the other day
I might start wearing it.
i probably won't.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Diego/List_of_Guantanamo_Bay_detainees_accused_of_possessing_Casio_watches
all of mine ran out of battery
scientists are working on that
I wear this watch
because I might be the biggest cunt of all

i can barely read the time on the picture :/
FIVE POUNDS
But I concede it is a ridiculous purchase
you can get a bomb watch for £4 pounds..
and that looks like it is the 80's
For £24...

If I was a samurai I would be suing.
Is that because since the invention of the gun, there's less call for sword work?
They still need to make a living, so just go about suing people instead?
If I was a samurai, I'd want to keep the swordsmanship up so I'd be going around to the company that made them and re-enacting scenes from Kill Bill.
