Simple Watch Question.

I want a pocket watch.

thatonemexicanguywell...i like watches, but they don't look good on me... so, i don't wear them.
but, from what i've heard (well if your a guy anyways):
left side:gay right side:good

What,Im the only one wearing it on the left and Im not gay.Its so that I still have a watch left on my arm after shaking hands with a Mexican.

I'm honestly surprised that people still wear watches.

TirithRRI don't wear any jewelry, rings, bracelets, watches, etc. I work with dangerously high voltages in panels. I don't keep anything on my body that could add unneeded bulk or conductive material to my body to give the chance of anything else touching a live part and killing me.

I know Pat has to do this aswell, although I am always angry at him because he has to take his wedding ring off before he goes to work when he does electrical wiring.

I have a mobile for the time, I do have a watch but never wear it, I don't like anything like that. I never have and never will wear jewelry.

Nathan DrakeWhat side you wear your watch on in no way indicates your sexuality. It is just kind of a general rule that if you're right handed, you SHOULD wear it on your left, and you SHOULD wear it on your right if you're left handed. I think it is just kind of a way to make sure the watch doesn't get in the way by keeping it on the arm that you don't use as often.

And this is what I always thought too.

i dont have watch, i use to carry one of those old fashion pocket watch that is chain on to my belt. but right now, my cell phone does that job.

Right hand.Because I'm left-handed and if I write my watch is in the way, if I wear it left.

I'm right-handed, and I wear my watch on my left wrist.

Digital watch FTW. Build-in stopwatch, timer, alarm and second time zone. Of course also a clock.

My phone has all that and more.

It's all what I need. By the way, I got it as a present from my grandma.

Yeah but phones are usually prohibited in secured exam sites here in the United States, just like the Professional Engineering licensure exam that I took last month. Watches however, are permitted, which is what I brought with me to the exam to keep track of time (using the timer feature of course.)

Everyone has phones now, it wouldn't surprise me if watches became quite rare when this latest generation grows up.

That still won't make watches obsolete anytime in the future. Watches still have their uses in certain situations, not to mention they are still much more portable than phones.

I will keep mine though. I like it.

No but they are becoming less and less useful. Phones do everything, play music, games, go online etc

And phones get confiscated in certain places, like universities during exams and midterms.

When I was young in the 80's I had a calculator watch and had to remove it for maths tests, by the time I got to secondary school you were allowed a calculator in your maths exam and I saw something on the news a while back about kids being allowed internet access for exams.

Computerz do more.Telephone, online, DS, GBA, SNES, NES, PS1, PSP, media, games, etc.

More isn't always better ;)
