I Do Not Wear a Watch

This is something that I used to do every day. When I was younger, you had to have a watch if you wanted to be cool. You were super cool if your watch had the date on it. Mine didn't have the date, but it had a button that lit up the numbers. The other kids loved that. That was the "big kid" equivalent to light-up shoes. I no longer wear a watch. I don't see many people wearing watches these days. I also don't see them wearing those smart watches, but I live in the southeast. We're a little behind on technology... and pretty much everything else.

I used to have a watch that worked as a tv remote and calculator. Bought it from a car boot sale for 拢3. And oh yes, my watch was the talk of the school for a long while. 馃槑

Was it from an alien planet? 馃槂

@ClassySOB: So they told me. To be honest I have my suspicions that they lied, and that it really came from China. Still a good watch though. I used to wind up people watching football in pubs. 馃槅

I like those old school, clunky men's watches. I used to have a nice solar powered one but it got stolen. I stopped wearing watches after that.

The ones I like are too expensive.

I own one watch, and it's worth several thousand dollars. I've never worn it. I keep it tucked away.

@ClassySOB: They say that the best way to tell how rich a man truly is, is by his everyday watch.

@AwakeAndDreaming: I'm pretty poor financially, but I'm rich with happiness.

I use my phone most of the time. Or I'll ask someone else who has a phone if I don't have mine on me
I think I lived during a time before digital watches were very popular. They existed but no one I knew owned one---probably too expensive. So if you saw a child with a watch they actually knew how to tell time. I owned a basic Timex back then. Today I don't wear a watch either---I check my cell phone.

I like my phone, but sometimes I miss carrying around a watch and a daily planner.
