I have a desire to wear a watch. My Father wore a watch. I even have a sizable collection of watches, a few interesting Soviet era officer's watches and such. But the pull of nostalgia is not as strong as the pull of practicality. Time is displayed on virtually every device around me.

I used to wear a watch but I took it off 'cuz it was a gift from a girl that I needed to get over (didn't work, it's been years and I'd still do anything to see her again).


My phone is a 10$ flip phone that I rarely have on my person so I don't usually get the time from that either.

There are many clocks on the wall at my job, and there's a clock display in my car. Those are the only places I really care what time it is, when I'm in literally any other place I don't much care what time it is beyond what I can tell from looking out the window.

BRJohnson's Next Job Interview [extract]
Interviewer: I notice you keep looking out the window Mr BRJohnson, do you find this interview rather confronting?
BRJohnson: I'm looking for the time, I don't have my 10$ flip phone on me.
Employer: It's 2:32.
BRJohnson: That's alright, I don't much care what time it is beyond what I can tell from looking out the window.

I wear a Fitbit Charge HR and either an Android Wear or Pebble every day so keep that in context. But yeah it is true, go to a bar in yuppieville and everyone is wearing Fitbits, Fitbits are basically a yuppie fashion accessory now. But I run so I deserve mine. :colbert:

yeah most the ppl that im referring to just do crossfit (ask me how i know). of course they're prob very useful if ur running everyday or do marathons and stuff, and really doubt those ppl would even care how many steps they took the other day much less share it

That looks like the watch Roger Moore wore in Octopussy.
