So long old watch, you've lasted a long time.

But attempting to change your battery irritated me so much I just had to use the Mallet o'Understanding.

I've not had a watch since 1988. I'm surrounded by ways for finding out the time. I have a phone with a clock on it. I sit at a computer with a clock in the corner. My car has a clock, and there is one next to my bed, one in my telly, one on the microwave and another on the wall in our kitchen. I don't need to carry another device that simply tells me the time.

I had to throw away my 13th birthday present digital watch recently after it finally died for good after 28 years of service. I felt quite sad.

I had to throw away my 13th birthday present digital watch.

I lost the watch I got on my 13th birthday.
It's alarm was set to sound daily, and even to this day I imagine it is playing the "yellow rose of texas" at the bottom of the sound of Mull, where I was on holiday at the time, leaning over the railing of a boat..

in the early 90's I used to work with a guy who seemd not to be able to comprehend the fact that I could exist without having a watch. Back then I didn't have a car or phone and as I worked in support, I was away from my desk for long periods, so no access to the little clock in the corner of the screen. Afer a while you get quite good at just knowing waht the time is. He'd put this to the test and I'd usually be the odd minute out, not bang on, but close enough. When he asked me how I knew I told him that I check the time when I leave home and then for the rest of the day I count. Periodically I reset my counting if I'm near a clock, but generally I spend most of my day counting. His response was to say that was bollocks and that if he asked me the time in 10 mins that I wouldn't know it! Hmmm Time now + 10 mins?

It can also be a chunk of good looking and decorative metal, glass and leather. Most women appreciate a good watch on a man

I always like to know what time it is, and miss my watch if I forget to put it on. Can't see the clock at night without putting my glasses on and then climbing over the other side of the bed. Don't like having to check my phone - I hate the idea of having to take my phone places anyway, as people like clients can get hold of me.

I want a decent smart watch which will tell me the time, show me text messages as they arrive, and tell me who has just emailed me. That way I can ignore them all in one place rather than needing two or more

Some women appreciate tattoos of winged skulls on a man. Doesn't seem like a good enough reason to me.

Doesn't look so good if the man has bony girl arms.

I don't wear a watch.
