Do you wear a watch?
 
Inspired by this post and the ensuing ding-dong, I feel inspired to post a poll.
Feel free to explicate below :)

I wear a battery powered quartz watch every day. It has stamped on the back that it's water resistant to 330 feet, but I"m dubious. I don't wear it in the shower or pool, but it might get rained on.

Not me. I take a dog with me everywhere I go and he wears my automatic watch on his tail to keep it wound and my smartphone hanging from a short chain around his neck so he doesn't accidently dunk it while drinking from the toilet.

The cats are the property timekeepers, but I do wear a watch for work. Necessary, not necessarily accurate.

I wear my dad's watch that he was given for 25 years service by him employer. It has the date, and his name and the company initials on the reverse. It may be one of the last gold watches given to anyone for 25 years service anywhere as he was given it in 1985, but the place he worked was pretty old fashioned in a number of ways.
It's one of those "dual winder automatics", but I wear it all the time anyhow. On months with less than 31 days you have to manually move the date on and sometimes I forget ... Timewise it runs a little fast, but that's OK with me.

I like the clean lines of that watch.

My mom has a wind-up table clock that she managed to bring over when we fled Vietnam back in '75. I used to think it's ugly and old, but now I think it looks so nice, hehe. Must be my age. It has this antique look to it (doh), and it still works, as long as you remember to wind it up. :D Oh, a picture would be nice, huh. Well, I always want to see a picture with a post.

Anyways, I wear a typical battery-powered watch. I think it's water-resistant too, but I usually take it off when I cook or wash dishes or handle anything that involves water.

I think it looks really nice too. I think watches with simple or clean lines look elegant.

I have a cheap-ass battery-powered Decade. Yep, I said cheap-ass. I don't remember the last time I wore it. The battery is dead.

I love wearing a watch when I'm dressed for appointments, formal events & everything else except sporting activities. My issue is that every watchband I have had in the last decade lasts a couple months before the free loop that holds the excess strap down invariably breaks. Shortly thereafter, the fixed loop breaks rendering the band useless. Pisses me off. Therefore, I don't wear my watches much anymore.

I wear no jewelry of any kind. That's my policy.

That's not a scratch arcing across the face, it's the reflection of my camera lens.
