Do You Wear a Watch? (results)

A few days ago I asked the question on Twitter and Facebook. I got some pretty interesting comments along the way.
I asked the question because I recently “won” a watch at a chamber of commerce event I was at. It is a ladies watch. I can’t find any women who want it because none of them wear watches.
That got me to thinking, “does anyone wear a watch anymore?”
It turns out that most people do not.
Here are some of the more interesting responses (to me anyhow). If I don’t mention your post, please don’t be offended. I can’t post them all.
clbennet @Dave_Bush I haven’t worn a watch in 10 or 15 years
Sounds like me.
mcmcom @Dave_Bush i wear a watch, in my pocket, it comes with email, video and music too.
BenAlabaster @Dave_Bush No; I do rarely – if I go to an event that requires me to dress up. But not day to day.
LocalJoost @Dave_Bush Not while typing
Actually, several people said that.
And a Facebook friend said,
nope, when with a bunch of friends and someone asks for the time, you see everyone pulling out their cell phones
As my wife pointed out, the sample set is kind of predictive of the results. I only asked people on Twitter and Facebook. But it does appear that a watch is more jewelry than a necessity anymore.

I knew that watches would soon be becoming a thing of the past when they got rid of our ability to “call time” that we had out here in California, that is: we used to be able to call a phone number to get the correct time. But, now with cell phones being such a common possession, I guess no one has the need for a service like that anymore.
The times, they are indeed a changin’, if you will..
