Of Watches and Cell Phones

Based on another thread, I wondered why people still have/wear watches when cell phones have clocks that are far more accurate, and even readjust themselves for Daylight/Standard time and even differing time zones, for those that travel.

HidesInOBX pointed out that some people dont have (nor want) cell phones.

Which brought on another wave of curiosity...

Do you have a cell phone and/or a watch? (and what combination)

Related comments are welcome.

 

No watch...cell phone only...been that way for the last 4-5 years.

 

I have MANY watches and a smart phone. I want both.

I LOVE watches. I don't want to dig in my purse to know what time it is. I don't want to carry my phone when I run/jog outside. I don't carry my phone in church(and several other places), so I wear my watch. I can't text/facebook/email/take pictures and phone from any of my watches, so I want my phone too.

 

Cell phone, because I need one for work, and watch, because it belonged to my mom and it makes me feel closer to her since she passed away.

 

Well, it was supposed to be a poll, but somehow the poll question/answer(s) got left off (Gomer, I feel your pain).

Personally, I stopped wearing a watch. It didn't make sense, since I carry a cell phone in my pocket and it's easily retrieved. Also, I no longer have the silly white tan line on my wrist (which took a couple of years to fully disappear).

But for those of you who have both (aside from KellBell who already answered at the time of this post), why?

 

I do, since I have a KJV Bible app. I do set it to silent (not just vibrate), though.

 

Since this great poll......


I vote no cellphone or watch........


The sun does my time telling.

 

Didn't see this thread (using cell phone) but I responded in the other thread.

Have both, but to sum it up, I use the watch as a courtesy to others.

 

I tried to go without a watch and only use the cell phone, but I just missed the watch so now I have both. Solar G-Shock watch with atomic timekeeping, it receives time from a radio signal so it adjusts its own time and always has accurate time. Cell phone for the obvious, phone calls, camera, and video. I just find it easier to get the time on my watch than looking at the cell phone.

 

I have a watch, and I pretend to talk in to it so that people don't think I'm weird.

Oddly enough it hasn't worked.

 

I have a watch that DH gave me one year LONG time ago, I use my watch for checking the time. I really don't use my cell phone for the time, but for talking on the phone, facebook, weather, texting and alarm clock (since the clock in on the OTHER side of the bed)

what was the question again? LOL

 

Watch. No cell phone.

 

Love watches too .. used to have quite a collection, til I realized I was wearing the same one over and over for the most part... forced myself to give up "collecting". (Kinda like socks ... LOVE socks! Could go nuts buying socks! Nothing like the feeling of new, fluffy socks! But I digress ... *grin* )

But now ... mostly rely on the cell phone. Watch is/was quicker to glance at, didnt have to pull out the phone while I was driving or doing something else - could just glance at my wrist in a half-second. Still ... only the cell phone these days.

 

I have an analog watch. You know the one with hands. It came in handy while doing clinicals. but didn't wear it before or after clinicals. If I need a second hand to do vitals I just pull out my cell phone and use the stop watch feature.

 

:iagree:

 

Cool, if they were real. I'd wait till they came out with an Android version, though. :lol:

 

I have both, mostly because a)my husband bought my watch for me and it is really pretty and expensive and is sentimental to me and doesn't need batteries so it is never dead, and b)I have a Sprint phone that royally sucks and just decides to randomly lock up and die on a fairly regular basis, and c)because I constantly forget my phone, and forget to charge my phone, and lose my phone and I am far less likely to lose my watch since it is strapped to my arm all day long :lol:

 

I pretty much stopped wearing a watch ...relying instead on my cell phone. Lesson learned today though...when I do not charge my phone and the battery goes dead ...not only am I without a phone, I also do not know what time it is. Purchased a car charger to hopefully avoid that problem in the future

 

There are clocks everywhere I go, I don't need a watch. I rarely wore one before the days of cell phones, they annoy me. I can't wear bracelets much for the same reason and have to remove all rings even I'm on the computer.
