I'm wearing a variation on a UBoat 1001.
Ever since the rise of the smartphone I have found myself without a wristwatch. In contrast to dumbphones which I only used to call and text with, my smartphone gets pulled out atleast a few times every half hour and each time I instinctively look at the time, simply eliminating the use for a watch.

Love watches; I reckon it makes any dude/man look "better" or at least a bit more mature. Unless you wear some ridiculous, plastic Micky Mouse watch... I have a Tommy Hilfiger one I bought ages ago; not particularly amazing technically or even that high quality, but it looks good and I've gotten compliments for it, even from complete strangers believe it or not. Thought about saving money (a meager 5500€) for a model from the Breitling for Bentley series, but I always end up using/needing whatever I've saved up :P Oh well, maybe one day....

I don't like watches, but there are some pretty darn cool ones out there, that's for sure. I just use my cell for the time and alarm.
I own 5 wristwatches and over a dozen pocket watches. Most are quartz models but I have 6 or 7 antique mechanicals as well. I do not however, own a cell phone of any kind.

I rock my probably fake rolex at social functions, but otherwise no.
Yup, because I don't have a phone.
I have a watch and use it occasionally but not as much as I used to.
I used to wear a watch for school and Uni, but my job requires hand washing alot and i got out of the habit.
I had a very nice fashionable one my uncle bought me years ago. I wore it every day until it got misplaced while moving. I replaced it with a sports watch that had a HR monitor for when I train but the strap broke and there was no fixing it. For now I just go without a watch and use my phone.
Duck walks into a bar, says to the bartender, "Got any grapes?" Bartender says no, duck says "Got any grapes?" "No" "Got any grapes?" "NO!" "Got any--" "If you say got any grapes one more time I'm going to nail your bill to the wall..." "Got a nail?" "No." "Got any grapes?"
If you want to be taken seriously in the business world, you wear a watch, only children whip out a cellphone to tell time
When out and about I do,
Alot of crime in town near where I live so better not to flaunt mobile devices etc for the sake of the time
I used to wear a watch until I got a phone back in high school. My phone is my watch now.

No I don't, if I had to money for one I would spend it on something else because I have a phone. I will get one eventually when I am out of school and not broke all the time.
I had a watch for awhile, but it broke and I never took it to the repair store nor did I ever replace it.
Kinda miss it, might get one again sometime in the near future.
