Do you wear a wristwatch? Why?

33. I'm totally lost without my watch.

It’s a FitBit. I don’t have to dig my phone out of my pocket to see the time. It buzzes when I get a cell call. Most of the time my phone is on silent. I keep it in my jeans pocket and after several abdominal surgeries, I can’t feel it vibrate at all so it’s great the watch lets me know I have a call or text and who it’s from. Great when I’m in a meeting and don’t want to be looking at my phone. I also use the timers when I’m cooking, exercising, etc. I wear it on my non-dominant hand so I can see the face when I’m writing (a habit I got into with the old analog watches when I was a student). It’s also bright enough that I can light up my nightstand without bothering hubby.

I don’t know if I’d ever upgrade to an Apple Watch. My son said as long as I’m not needing/wanting to use Apple specific apps, I get better length of charge and about $400-600 cheaper.

And before Fitbit, it was always the Timex nurses version with real numbers, second hand, and date, with a lighter dial.
