What watch are you wearing?

Yes, it’s a copycat thread, but why not? This watch belonged to my son, but he never wore it. I’d guess it’s 25 years old. I don’t understand all the functions. It’s too heavy and all that metal irritates my wrist, so I keep switching it from one hand to the other. But I’m too lazy to go watch shopping.I seldom wear it. Usually only when I’m going into the city and need to time my transit connections. It’s easier than pulling out my phone to look at the time.

I wear an Apple Watch. I appreciate the health functions, as well as the workout functions and how it pairs with Fitness+. The battery is going on it, so I may need to replace it soon. That is definitely a drawback - they don’t have much longevity.

I have two watches. I never really wore one, but last year my better half bought me a nice Citizen Solar Powered watch for my Birthday. This past Apple product announcement I purchased my first Apple Watch and wear it more than the Citizen.
@Mark Cool. So, the solar powered watch never needs batteries or winding? I wish I had that feature.

I kept replacing my Casio FE-10 watches until they were no longer made. Perfect combination of thin with big enough display to wear while tuning/working. I purchased and returned quite a few others after the last one broke - searching for something that was comfortable enough and ended up with

I did get a magnetic wrap band for it to cut down on the buckle discomfort while working. -
Casio, Arabic numerals, white dial, AND the least expensive and classic digital.
I always have these two watches.
The digital's alarm goes off at 11:56 p.m. for no particular reason. I just let it.
Hacking this watch is complicated and can take me up to 2 hrs with my poor vision.
It's worth owning. It's definitely worth wearing. I just don't care enough to go through what's needed to set it.
It's also on military time. I think the time is close to accurate.

I wore watches, usually ones from the likes of Walmart, before I started carrying a mobile phone with me. I remember my parent bought me a watch from an old school watch shop when I was in secondary school. But I don't remember ever buying a watch from a proper watch/jewelry store myself. I do not remember any of the brand names; I don't think I have ever worn a watch that carried a well known brand name. I stopped wearing a watch not long after I started carrying a cellphone with me regularly, and have not looked back ever since. I was briefly tempted by the idea of an Apple Watch but ultimately thought it not worth the hassle of carrying "one more thing."
