I've always worn a watch and always used it to tell time

I always use my watch. That’s a habit. Even date is something I use my watch for. Unless I need a date a couple of months in advance. Or a week number.

I look at my watch. I assume younger people who grew up with cell phones would find it more of a conscious effort to look at their wrist for the time. Us older folks grew up looking at their watch so it’s a natural thing to do without even consciously thinking about it.
I do use my cell phone to set my watch precisely as I do like my watch to be right on time (the trace of OCD in me). |

I’ve been a watch kind of guy since a little kid in grade school and I have always been an early adopter of the latest iPhone. With that said, I never look at the iPhone for time telling duties.

I’ve found it interesting that some actually don’t have the correct time set on their watch. Mine always has to be accurately set - it would drive me crazy if it weren’t.

Watch. For me it's more annoying to pull out the phone.
Same with the date. I just love cyclops lenses on my Rolex's and of course....another reason to look at my watch.

Watch...
Even though i used to work at apple i kinda have an issue with calling their device a “watch”. It’s a bit more than a watch while being substantially less... IMO of course... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I look at my watch. But if i happen to check out the phone, i will look at the time too. Guess it's hard not to since i always did that before i start wearing a watch again.

Watch for time and date if I have that complication on whichever watch I'm wearing. My phone is for calling of course but also for maps, texts, weather, email and so on.

So why you even post here if you do not wear your watch that often? Maybe you should try some phone forums?

Never at the mobile.

Interestingly this was quoted by Jean-Claude Biver ... "We don't need watches, that's for sure. We wear them for other reasons : to track our health, activities, messages. Or we wear them to have a piece of eternity, something passed down to us or that we can pass on. But nobody should wear a watch to tell time - that is ridiculous."

Depends, mostly (90/95%) the watch.

Both. I’d say 75% watch 25% iPhone.

It's amusing to read this NOT for something along the lines of determining your own position through GPS readout vs. celestial navigation using a sextant and plotting chart, but for something as simple and basic as telling time using a watch dial. Not surprising, however. Indeed, we're only a half-generation away from pseudo-adults who'll need to check a phone app to know when or how to wipe their own asses. |

I usually look at the watch for time. I look at iPhone for the date if I don’t know the date and wearing the Daytona or Yacht 2.
