When I worked for Timex as a summer intern, I acquired something like 10 watches over 3 months. I also gave a few as gifts. I wore one or the other of these regularly until all the bateries died. I got one fixed, meaning to get around to the others. The one I got fixed is big and clunky, so I don't like to wear it while typing. Also in the "to be fixed" category is a gold omega that belonged to my grandmother that I like to wear with a suit.
I like wearing one, because there's such a proliferation of times on ever electronic surface. Right now, my desk phone says 4:55 while my computer says 4:51. I couldn't gaurantee that the watch would be correct, but at least it's consistent, and I can judge how late I'm running against it. I also like having a watch for meetings, when pulling out my cell phone would be rude, and when I'm running around when pulling out my cell phone would be inconvenient.
We moved from pocket watches to wrist watches for a reason!
