    Anyway. Yes, most people check their phone. I personally have 3-4 watches I wear. Only 2 work lol.
    Apparently OP's method of checking the time, is to ask other people Odd that he didn't put it as one of the choices
    Perhaps he just uses it as a conversation starter.

    I used to check my phone for the time but since acquiring a watch I only check my phone 10% as often as I used to.

    1) Check phone/desktop
    2) Check clock
    3) Ask someone else
    4) Check watch

    I honestly don't know why I actually wear a watch, I maybe look at it once or twice a month :/

    I still use a watch most of the time. Nothing fancy, just a cheap $10 WalMart watch I bought like 10 years ago. I only whip my phone out if I need to look at an actual calendar.

    If I happen to be sitting in front of my computer at the time, I just use it.

    I look at my patek philippe calatrava, JK. I just look at my wrist watch.

    I use my phone, almost always. If I'm on a computer I'll use that, otherwise I always use my phone regardless of if there's a clock nearby. Probably has something to do with my distrust for clocks since every one in my house seems to be a different time. Don't know who to believe anymore, but my phone never lies to me.

    Plus I always have my phone on me wherever I am.

    I have not used wrist watches anytime in my life.

    At home I use the computer. On the road i use my phone.

    Back before PC's and mobile phones were that common i knew the location of most public clocks in my city.

    Whatever is closest to me, I don't get why it's an option.

    The computer is the most reliable, then is the phone. Outside clocks are not in our control and might be wrong.

    Well, maybe he wondered why you asked him as there was a GIANT wall clock right near? So he assumed there was something wrong with it.

    If I would still be wearing a watch I'd probably use it, but as I stopped wearing them when I got my first cell an it became my main "time information source". Unless of course I sit in front of a computer, then I'd use the system time.

    1. Wall clock 2. Phone 3. Nearby Computer.

    IN that order.. Why would I bother taking my phone out of the pocket if the clock is right there on the wall?

    Wall clock > computer (if I'm in front of one) > phone > ask someone else

    I always look for a wall clock first even if I'm sitting in from of a computer. The phone is usually the last resort.

    I wear a watch and not used to my new smartphone, plus if you are checking your phone for the time while wearing a watch you might as well leave the watch at home.
