I occasionally wear a watch. Sometimes I will acquire one, and then I'll wear it until it breaks. And then there will be a lag while fate arranges me another one. So, fairly long periods either way.
Do you wear a watch regularly?

How's it not completely straightforward?

I haven't not worn a watch since I was 6 years old. I always loved technology, and digital watches were the most affordable pieces of technology at that age. I was always jealous of the guy who had a calculator watch. I never got one of those. I didn't get the watch that could control TV channels either. I did borrow one from my best friend and had fun with it when the teacher was trying to show us a video though. My best watch I got was when I was 11. It had a thermometer on it, so you could tell how cold it was. It also had the time and average temperatures in various cities around the world. That was my favourite watch. Sadly I lost it. Don't remember where or when, but I lost it. I finally got a watch with a full backlight, rather than just the little bulb that only lights up one side of the face, in my early teens. It was a Timex with 5 independent lap timers, world time, a 2nd time zone with its own alarm, 5 independent alarms for the primary time zone, a countdown, and was waterproof to 200m. This came in handy when I dropped it down the toilet (luckily the toilet was empty at the time). That watch lasted a long time. Its first spell as my regular wrist watch ended when my parents bought me a watch for my 18th birthday. It was a fancy G-shock watch -- essentially a digital version of a diver's watch, with all the timers on the face in digital rather than analog dials. That lasted me until I was about 23, when it got busted up for the final time. I went back to my trusty Timex, which was looking pretty worse for wears by now. The rim had come apart on one end, and the strap was so frayed it looked like it had pubes. That lasted about a year, until I took it into the ocean; sadly, although it was waterproof to 200m, the broken rim could not keep the water out of the electronics, and it died a death. When I returned from holiday, I bought a Casio F-91W -- the same model as my first ever watch. It had increased in price by around 60% since the first time I bought one, from £5 to £8, but it was worth it. It's lasted me 2 years and counting now, and I'm pretty happy with it.
A+++, would watch again.

Well I meant you , but mainly to add gravity to the "wise" component of the gag

How do you get to places on time, keep appointments, that sort of thing if you hate clocks? And why do you hate clocks?

Somehow I don't think grasping for my phone while handling live influenza virus is a good idea.
It's my policy to be correct at least twice a day, but I'm not a fan of stopped watches.

I love clocks, but dislike wristwatches. I have a couple pocket watches that I adore, but for every time I grabbed one to tell the time I picked up my mobile instead, and it's just as good for timekeeping.

I have an LED clock embedded into the skin of my wrist if that counts.

It would be a bit rubbish if it couldn't count.

I bought an expensive atomic watch and I never wear it.
That would be freaking cool. Would it be powered, I assume, by the body itself? Also, how to set??

I can't stomach the habit of wearing watches. I tried in the past but could never remember to keep it on the next day. In the end, the ease of checking time on a handphone sealed the deal for me with watches.
Wristwatches were invented in the first place because people were tired of having to pull their pocket watches out to check the time.

I used to wear a watch everyday, but recently I only wear one once or twice a week.
