I wear a watch because I like to know what time it is. I have that info on my iPhone, but while it's usually on my person, it's often tucked away in a pocket or my purse, and sometimes I leave it on my desk if I'm wandering down the hall.
The watch I wear most often is a cheap plastic Armitron, which I'm sure I got at either Wal-Mart or Target. It's one of a series -- I buy one and wear it until the band breaks (2-3 years, usually) and then I buy another one. I wear it pretty much all the time -- I take it off to shower, but I don't bother removing it for washing dishes, or swimming, stuff like that, because it's water-resistant to considerably deeper than I plan ever to go. I have nicer watches -- one delicate little silver bracelet watch, and one chunky gold men's bracelet watch that I wear loose enough that it's like a big bangle (this is not it, but it's very similar, down to the way that the band and face are the same width), which I wear when the occasion is too dressy for the plastic watch but I still need a quickly-accessible watch -- but most of the time it's the plastic one.
