I remember we had a craze to wear a watch on our wrists. Then with the introduction of mobile phones, we lost interest in them. But it looks like people are inclined towards the wrist watch after the smartwatches came into the market.

I wear a watch during work days. I have 5 watches and wear them at intervals M/F- T/Th- M/F - sat. I keep my phone in my bag afraid it would fall while I'm driving to work.

I used to wear watches all the time! Now I just wear my FitBit and I forget that the time is displayed on it and just refer to my phone anyway when I want to know the time.

I always check my phone for the time. I find something heavy I am holding on my wrist if I wear a watch. I don't know if it's normal to feel it. Is there someone else who feels like me?

I don't use wrist watch neither do I own one, since my phone is on me I don't see the use, although I can use those made for fashion, that will be once in a while. Having wrist watch on all time always cause imbalance on my skins especially my wrist area.

Wearing a watch is very important in my work. I do not look at time in my cellular phone. It causes bad incident. Better a wrist watch , astigmatic glancing at time.

How is causes bad incidents? I didn't understand.
Many people encountered accidents while glancing or doing activities on their cell phones with a gadget plugged in into their ears. There was a high school student doing a selfie when recreating a roof top in school only to slip and fell down and died on the spot.

Yeah watches for me are so outdated. i rarely wear one but funny thing is when i do , 90% of the time the watch wont be working so it will be just for show. more or less to match my outfit. We have phones that we carry 24/7 so i use that to keep track of the time.

Oh, that is a sad incident. Watching mobile to check the time is not risky while driving I feel. Yes it is dangerous when you are see messages or call a person.

There are a lot of accident this gadgets can cause, I almost got hit by a bike just because I had my ears stuffed with music blaring hard. Wristwatches are useful more in some situations than our smartphone.

That was so horrible, at least you learned a lesson out of it. There were many drowned and thrown to cliffs due to selfie.

Yes, lots of accidents occur while people take selfies, they forget where they are standing while taking selfies. I remember a few years ago around 20 students drown in the river while enjoying taking selfies.

Since mobile phones became famous around the globe, I stopped using a watch. If there is a special occasion, I can still wear it.

I don't wear it even on special occasions. I don't know where my watches are kept at home. I feel sort of a weight on the wrist whenever I wear a watch, I still see lots of people wearing trendy watches.

I have 5 watches and do wear them at intervals. I am used to wearing a watch. I feel awkward without a watch on my wrist, Even when I sleep, I wear a watch.

I also had 5-6 watches in childhood. It was like a fashion to wear a watch at that time but I feel it's not for me now. My kids and wife still like to wear watches and they all have minimum of 5 watches each. My kids have two smartwatches each.
