so who owns a clock/watch?

Jul 24, 2020 at 06:17 AM

I was thinking today.. tvs tell the time. phones tell the time. computers tell the time. alexa (if you have it) tells the time

how many of you still own a clock/watch?

I still own a watch, but honestly it has been months since I have replaced the batteries in it. I have an alexa, phone and tv, all with the time on it, and I barely leave the house anyway- so don't need any other means

I have a clock on my wall in my living room, an alarm clock in my bedroom too. I use to wear a fitbit. But nowadays rely on my phone for the time and alarm clock. Always have worn a watch though vause all the jobs I have had your not allow your mobile on you so its practical to wear a watch.

We have traditional analog clocks in all bedrooms and in a living room. It’s a habit and also I do it for decor, it matches room’s color scheme.

Yes I wear a watch pretty much all the time. I stopped wearing regular watches and only wear fit bit, I have versa and still wear blaze sometimes, I think they discontinued blaze but I liked it actually more than versa because it was very easy to change wrist band. I feel uncomfortable not wearing a watch

I have a clock in my kitchen. No watch.

Clocks in my kitchen & master bath & clocks I don't wind in my family room, more as furniture than clock. I have tons of watches I never wear for a long time. I sweat working outside on my farm & only jewelry I wear is a ring & gold necklace I never take off. Anything else is just a nuisance. I keep my phone with me always. It gives me the time when I need it

I depend on my car clock. It tells me if I’m on time for appointments. At home I have an alarm clock. There’s a clock in the bathroom. And living room. The living room clock is old and chimes the hour. Then there’s the microwave, the tv and my iPad, oh and the phone. Haven’t had a watch for years.

I have a couple of clocks, one on the wall and an alarm (digital) clock in my bedroom that I use. I have a watch also, but I don't wear it very often. I have a band on the watch that's leather, black, and wide with some studs on it. That was pretty popular in the late 60s and early 70s.

We have 2 alarm clocks, a clock in the kitchen (as well as the oven range and coffee maker clocks), a working clock in the shape of an antique camera in the living room, and also an antique clock that we don't keep working (it's an old type that you'd have to wind). I have several watches, but they collect dust in my jewelry box. My husband does wear a watch I gave him when he goes to the office.

my wife and I both have alarm clocks as do our children. the children also have wrist watches and know how to tell time (actual time not digital watches, the kind that a person actually needs to learn their numbers and how to tell time. my wife and I both feel telling time is a lost art with children these days as is learning cursive writing. we want our children to rely on their smarts not computers and cell phones and so forth. those things come and go, but the child that has an actual wrist watch and has actually learned how to tell time can do so even during a power outage, or other disasters. we learned during huricane sandy not to rely on things that take electricity or needs to be charged in order to do something so basic and simple as telling time. tv alexa, phones and so forth wont help in a emergency or disaster. so we supply our children with clocks and watches that require them to know how to tell time, not just read numbers on a screen.

I have analogue clocks in my kitchen and living room- old habit I guess. I always have to reset it after daylight savings time. I dont mind though. I am amazed at how some kids today have no idea how to read a clock. My kids know but even still when they will ask what time we are going somewhere and I say "10 of" they have to think twice about it.

Where I live with my brother we have, lets see now, 6 clocks and 8 watches between us. I guess we are clockwise or something
