When a ball of welder slag the size of a pea rolls under that band and the smell of scorched meat reaches your nostrills, having the time on your wrist becomes a lot less important! Same with rings at work.

Get a pocket watch then.

If your watch has 2 hands on it, and you can see the sun, you can easily determine due south within several degrees.

I have a pocket watch.

I really do.

 

[MarkC]

Do you remember which pocket it's in?

Try an experiment. Cover up all the clocks in your room, and see if you can still wake up on time.

Need I ask the obvious?

 

[twentynine]

I am never without a watch.

Timex Ironman.

Have cell phone but the dang numbers are so small I can't see'em.

G-Man put me onto the Motorola F3

Big numbers...and if you leave it in the car park and it gets driven over, it lives.

 

[wander2039]

Haven't for years. Hurt my wrest and working on computers all day made it worse. I'd like to get a pocket watch someday since on vacations I usually leave the phone the car. Although I'm not to worried about time then so I may not.

i wear a watch. it is a simple casio model with a built-in radio atomic clock. i carry a cell phone as well, but digging in my pocket to check the time is just a hassle (especially when driving). my cell phone also cant/wont/doesnt display 24 hour time (which is just stupid).

i remove the ring for high voltage (or high current) work.

like have i gone down to shop to check...

no

any "obvious" things well ... don't know what you are alluding to

 

[moribundman]

You want us to go shopping with you?

1. You managed to get a hold of a Swatch Chrono (whatever abomination it is).
2. You managed to lose or destroy the strap.
3. You seem unable or unwilling to find a replacement strap at a local shop or online.

Suggestion: Measure the lug width and find a replacement strap online. In case of a leather band, make sure you get the proper length. A good brand is Hirsch. Whether or not you need a safety buckle or clasp I do not know, but you can get them for metal, rubber, neoprene, leather and tactical watchbands. Just GOOGLE it!

I always wear a watch, a TAGHeuer 1000 or Formula 1; I feel naked without one.

Mori, if the swatch that crinkles is talking about is like the ones from the '80's, they use a unique strap design, not the standard "Xmm lug width" style that most watches use.

I'm kind of a freak in that department too, as I wake up every morning (with no alarm clock) at almost exactly 5:50am, plus or minus one minute! Even on the weekends if I go to bed two hours later than usual, I won't sleep past about 6:15am. My body just KNOWS it's time to get up.

Makes no difference. I could be in China or wherever.....no clock....sometimes after a vigorous bubble bath I lose track though.

 

[Matt89]

I still wear a watch all the time. Now I go to the "www.time.gov" site and synchronize my watch with the atomic clock every now and then!

 

[MarkC]

I wake up at 425 am every day, even when I don't want to.
