It's not just Chinese tire names......

if I need the time that badly I've had a cell since early 2000's.

In addition to no watch, I don't have a smart phone either. I don't need to be connected 24/7 and to get text messages and phone calls everywhere I am. I you want me, call my home. If I'm not home. leave a message and I'll get back to you. My wife has a smart phone and we are together 90% of the time, so there is one available for those rare occasions when they are useful, like for GPS or finding a restaurant.

My daughter is enthralled with Japanese culture and is fluent in the language and loves the Anime/Cosplay space. One of her beloved characters is a Vocaloid, don't ask, named Hatsune Miku. I told her my Japanese Cosplay/Anime/Vocaloid name is Mai Hai Nee Soh Puey. She is not amused.

My sneaking suspicion is that 5 syllable names in Anime/Cosplay is not preferred among the younger generation!

I wish I could do this but I am still employed for the new few decades.

Watch...what's a watch? Oh yeah, that device I removed from my wrist when I retired 17 years ago!

You probably stopped washing yourself and started walking around barefoot while wearing nothing but a loincloth! Clearly didn't give up the computer, though.

I can't imagine having to reach for my phone to see the time. A flick of the wrist and a glance is all it takes. I have worn wristwatches since age 10. I barely ever don't wear one. Whether I'm working, surfing, running, driving, or doing anything, I wear a watch. When I work on my car or do something like climbing I wear a beater watch. None of my watches is jewelry. They are all toolwatches. Two of them are a bit more dressy but they are still toolwatches.

Wearing a watch is like wearing underwear for me. Without it, I feel naked. I should make that my signature line.

During the Vietnam War, there were some South Vietnamese generals with funny names.

I once went to a Halloween party dressed up like one. I named myself General Khanh Ding Dong.

I wear a watch and carry a phone to remind me I don't care what time it is.

SmartWatch is the hot ticket for the Non- Boomers. They also sell watches and rings that map your heartbeat, blood pressure and oxygenation of blood. Eventually they will monitor your blood glucose and wife's fertility temperature. Ain't science great!

I would not call those devices watches because their main purpose is not timekeeping, although they contain a clock. Pocket watches went out of style because they were impractical compared to wristwatches. Wristwatches are probably a lot more popular than you realize.

I own a few citizen and Seiko solar quartz watches. My days of Rolex, Breitling and Zenith are behind me.

I do own about 15 Hamilton railroad pocket watches.

There's a Chinese and American restaurant by a very similar name here. You can get an American breakfast with a side of egg rolls!

Close, but a bathing suit instead of a lioncloth.

A lioncloth sounds like something I may want to wear on the beach this summer. GRRAUUUU!

The Chinese got even when they got Americans to eat Sushi. Imagine that! They’re eating Sushi!

Same with me lol. I even just give people my wife's number now as she said we don't need the landline anymore (at $6 a month)
