Don't think that I've ever forgotten mine, that would be like leaving the house without pants!

I've been wearing a watch almost every day since I was 11. When I do forget mine (this has happened maybe 6 times since I was 11), I feel naked and unbalanced all day without it. The iPhone lets me know the time, but there is, and never will be a substitute for a watch on my wrist!

I wear one on each wrist and usually forget to take off at least one of them so I'm all set.

Me too, I have never, not once forgotten my watch, my phone on the other hand... I forget that at least once or twice a month and it wrecks my whole day!!!

This.

Tucked away in my office are usually a couple Seikos and G-shock. I don't wear my expensive stuff at work... That's how I scratched my crystal and ceramic GMTIIC in one fatal swoop.

When I get off work it's the first thing I put on once I get home.

No idea

Recently moved to jakarta for 3 years, haven't had a watch on my wrist for over 9 weeks now as they are either still coming or in Singapore getting services. GODKNOWSWHATTIMEITIS.

It's pathetic but I would be really pissed and would likely go home and get it. I'm an optimizer and one day without it would be one day too many. I generally sleep with it on so as someone else more chance of me forgetting to wear pants.

I've been wearing a watch daily since like 6 or 7 years old (20 years) so I do not forget often. Happens maybe 2-3 times a year and usually I notice by the time I am in the car, at which point I make a judgment call. Typically I go on without it.

That said, I feel like I forgot my hat and I'm bald in the desert.

It's never happened, ever. Wearing a watch to me is like brushing my teeth, all part of the routine that simply does not get forgotten. I would feel naked.

Good idea, I should leave some inexpensive quartz watches in my draws at work.

It really is a great and satisfying alternative. The SBBN015 is next to hit the work drawer.

Seiko is the KING and filling this void. Great thought-out designs from $100 to $4000 in terms of quartz and worth every dime in all respects.
