Do you use a watch at all? I myself was gifted a smart watch from my mother a few years back. I used it for a little bit but then put it away. It wasn't until the last two months where I've been wearing it every day. The reason mostly being that I'm an active gym goer, so it helps keep track of calories burned, and the time keeping for exercises is extremely helpful because I don't have to constantly unlock my phone to stop the timer whenever I move to another machine.

Never did. Don't like wearing accessories. I can just check my phone.

I despise checking my phone so much, which the watch has helped stopped me from doing. I have an iphone, so it tells me how much screen time I'm using my phone per week. It's my goal to beat the record every week. XD

Don't spend much time on my phone personally. I just check my google feed for news once a day. Then again I'm not into social media. I suppose that's the real reason most people spend so much time on their phones. Gotta browse them instagram photos. xD

I used to have a watch, but kinda felt redundant once I had a phone. Had both for a while, but after my last watch broke, I didn't miss it enough to replace it.

I only use my phone for calls, texts, and a few apps like Marco Polo and Youtube for music while at work. Other than that, I don't use it for much else, yet somehow I'm still racking up up to 7hrs of screen time per week. :/

During my High School years, I always wear my silver watch and once I hit adulthood, I just don't bother with it anymore because I keep banging to tables, halls, and bumping to people when I wear my watch and it scratches easily.

Best to use your phone as a clock source. (Plus it helps when I forget its daylight-saving time and my phone does it automictically.

Is a smart watch really a watch? I don't think so. It's a smart phone plug in.

Nah I'd prefer not to wear anything on my wrist.

If I were to wear something like that it would probably be for fitness tracking, as you said.

You're probably right. That stated I do have a smart watch and a few analogue watches, too.

yup. Love having a watch. I could check my phone for the time but that means having to reach all the way into my pocket to lift a phone out and THEN...i have to press a button for the screen to come on. It's a lot of work :P.

I have always worn a watch since i was a kid though. An old school mechanical one. I don't really have an interest in a smart watch.

I was gifted a watch a few years ago and it was expensive.

But I never used it, because it seemed useless to me.
