Same here. I forget that my phone is even a source of information for knowing the time. I've worn a wristwatch since I was very young -- at least a decade before I ever carried a cell phone -- so the habit of looking at my watch is hardwired in me.

Back when I only had one watch (aaah, the days of having spare cash to spend!) it finally gave up on me and stopped running. I continued to wear it for two years before getting it serviced, and I never managed to kill the habit of looking at my watch first when I needed to know the time.

I have to look twice, every time.
I go to look at my watch for the time, get distracted by the cream colored plots and hands and forget what time it was when I looked. LOL! |

I look at my watch to note the time and watch my watch without worrying about the time.

It's been awhile since I've worn a watch daily. I constantly forget that I can look at my watch and my first reflex is still to pull my phone out of my pocket.

I do all the time. I don't even mind that it might be 45 seconds fast sometimes before I reset it, cause I'd rather be early than late! and the day stuff is cool to know i check that as well

As a psychologist having a watch during my sessions with patients is a necessity!

I would but the battery died in my sub 40 hours after wearing it. I have not had the time to go back to my AD to warranty it.

I see people look at their phones to check the time when I can clearly see that they're wearing a watch. To think that they may be wearing a Rolex, and still doing it... I'm guessing you've been wearing a watch less time than owning a cellular phone. Lose that habit.
Of course you still look at it to admire it. But first and foremost, it's a watch... |
