Yes, but only by accident. I felt naked and afraid all day.

Whenever I see someone say "where it in good health" I think to myself, I would wear a nice watch in poor health and/or in the hospital. Now I know... they won't let you. lol

When I forget my watch, I feel anxious all day. When I forget my cell phone, I feel relieved all day.

If I forget my cell phone at home I don't go back for it. It's not like I'm the secretary of State. But if I forgot to wear a watch.....I'm heading home immediately.

Yes, not that uncommon at all for me. I don't wear mine around the house, for one. Also, if I know I'll be at a production facility (for my job) then I forgo wearing a watch.

There are times when I'm going to the gym from home and thus am sans watch.

I have one on at all times except when sleeping, and even then I hate taking it off each night. I like just being able to glance down at it at any time. (Sometimes to know the time).

I'm exactly the same, as soon as I walk through the door I take my watch off. I can't explain it but for some reason it just doesn't feel right at home

I can't remember the last time I didn't wear a watch.

It would have to be probably twenty years ago or more when I might have had a watch conk out on me and I went without until I could get another.
