I wear a watch (cheap "dressy" looking one). I feel naked not wearing a watch personally, but a watch is never the first thing I notice about a person. With students handing me books, I notice watches on guys more often than gals.
And I wouldn't be able to tell an expensive watch from a cheap knock off.
Why only guys?;) I have a lovely one that was my grandmother's. Have it in a display holder in my living room....Quote:

Needless to say I had evidence of a stretch band on my arm and back of my hand for quite a while. When i got Married I told my wife I would wear a wedding band if she could find one made of jade or plastic.
I have never got into the habit of wearing a watch. When I was young they used to stop within about 10 minutes of me putting them on. Once I started work, there were clocks, time display on phones, PCs etc.
I bought one a few years ago when I was travelling on my own, realising it might be useful to know the exact time even though I was away from my desk. I don't wear it normally, but I do try to remember to take it on holiday.
Was that after you missed the flight to LA to the PT BBQ?:p:DQuote:

As a matter of fact, it was on my journey to LA. I have never been able to remember where it was that I had to re-route through, but as I went through the terminal, there was a stand selling watches and I thought "what a good idea!"
That is a completely different issue to the inability to set an alarm properly.
It was Pittsburgh. Very unusual routing....UK to Pittsburgh to LA...:D:DQuote:

UK to Pittsburg?
You need to find a new travel agent as well as a watch, KK.

As you may recall...Ms. Palin can see Russia from her front porch. I'm guessing a passing Russian dropped it.:D;)Quote:
