I don't wear hard items near my skin, as a rule... no watches, rings, bracelets, necklaces, chains, etc.
I'm not comfortable wearing them, and the times in my life I have tried to wear something like that (including a watch) I have reliably managed to break it within a matter of months.
I have no objection to carrying a timepiece, but in general I try to minimize the stuff I carry around. I carried a PalmPilot for a couple of years before I broke it, and I realized I really didn't miss it. I now carry a turned-off cell phone when I'm driving or going for long walks (out of fear of a second stroke), but I never use it to check the time.
That said, I'm beginning to think that an iPhone or something similar might solve a problem I actually have, so this might change some time in the near future... but for now, I just don't carry a timepiece.
