You have 1 post to prove why you need a watch

when one of these shits is always around.

you have one post to prove why you need anything

if you can't, you have to become a luddite. no backsies!

I got it as a gift. I thought the same way as you before I got it. It is way more convenient to check the time and the date from your wrist.

I'm asian

I don't want to take my phone out of my pocket and potentially put it down on a random table/surface as I'm moving around, never to be seen again.

I'd rather have a expensive watch than have an expensive phone.

Style. That's about it these day.

You'll know when you grow up one day.

Watch is like men's jewelry. It is a fashion acessory, waterproof, saphire glass, shines on the dark, stainless steel, shock resistant, laser cut, and also, shows you the time, right at least twice a day.

i have only ONE valid reason
>fitness/cardiac related monitoring

but even that could be done with a 50e chink watch

i live in a shitty country/Detroit and don't want to risk to be mugged everytime i want to know the time

also its faster

fashion

workplace that doesn't allow you to bring in any cameras and storage devices

Phones are massive, why would I navigate into my pocket struggle the pull this brick out instead of simply rotating my arm? It's a physical hot key dumbass

Social status
Not that you would know anything about that

My watch has a 10 year battery and I can always wear it unlike my phone which needs to be charged every night or two at best
try not being a faggot the next time okay OP?

I work loading trucks and must adhere to a schedule. Can't take out my phone while working.

This user is right you know

For exams in uni.

Because my female friends say that I look more sexy with my 500€ watch. Some things are just nice to have.

Stupid anime poster.

Then what are you doing here on Sup Forums nigga?

B-b-baka

Because I'm forbidden from bringing any devices capable of communication, recording or data storage to work.
Also because it's retarded to have to pull your phone out every time you need to check the time, and retards who do it are usually the ones with cracked screens or straight out broken phones every year or so.

Because checking my watch is about 8 times faster than checking my phone. And I check my watch way too often.

Because a Watch won't overheat or lose all battery after 16 hours.

Interesting that nobody touches on that this is the failed crowdfunding effort of Canonical running their now dead Ubuntu Touch OS. I actually own a BQ Aquaris E5 Ubuntu Edition, now I think I'll just flash Lineage OS on it though.

>take phone out of pocket
>turn on screen
>check time
>put phone back on pocket

or

>lift wrist
>check time
>lower wrist

It's fashion you autistic cunt, it's also slightly more convenient that looking at your phone/wasting battery for literal chump change.

Faggots

Fashion is for women and metrosexuals.

This. No way I want to run with a phone in my pocket.

I like my digital watch. It's pretty basic and was pretty cheap and does its job.

Horology has been a thing for many years among men. Whether it be a quality wristwatch or a nice classy pocket watch. If you use your phone for time, you're a millenial retard that probably owns a G-Shock

Its as close to jewelry as I'm allowed to get without my friends calling me gay. I have no problem being slave to anything except the government so I will submit my own will to that of the group, who I will allow to dictate what I can wear and can't wear.

>nigga

How are Ubuntu phones?

I just mentioned them here not too good currently they will be completely dead by the end of the year.

>>turn on screen
>>check time
>>put phone back on pocket
>Putting your phone in your pocket without turning off the screen
Enjoy those pocket dials I guess.

Having finally got a watch, here are the reasons OP:

1. My watch is always on my wrist. I can't really misplace it or lose it
2. I can have things in my hands and still check the time
3. I can't accidentally drop my watch

1. A watch looks good, it is mainly a fashion accessory. Bracelets are gay, so I wear a watch instead.
2. My phone is usually in my pocket. glancing at a watch is a lot less effort and I can do it while I am using my hands to do something unrelated.
3. Having multiple ways to tell time is neat.
4. A watch doesn't need to be recharged.

What are you trying to scrutinize?

Because Apple told us to buy them

Have you tried pulling a phone out of skinny jean pockets?

It'll be an heirloom some day. A god phone dies after a couple of years. A good watch will die after a couple of centuries.

Still more work than just looking at a wrist watch. Plus a wrist watch has no chance to fall out of your pocket and shatter.

This is the truth tbch , but there are some things in life you just dont admit to, under any circumstances. Pls understand.

Back right pocket goes phone. Wallet in back left. iPod in coin pocket.

>Have to clean out your pockets every time you sit down
That's retarded. And if you forget one time your phone's ded.

gee I sure love taking out everything in my back pockets whenever I sit down or suffer from sitting on weirdly shaped objects.

Interesting, we call the small one the condom pocket...

At my last job, you'd get fired for doing that shit

>look at my wrist vs take out my phone
>never really have to take off my watch
>never have to charge my watch
>watch is literally attached to me so I don't really have to worry about losing it or accidentally dropping it

Some phones have the option to always display the time, the numbers on the screen are really faint to prevent massive battery drain.

Most employers do not allow cell phones to be on an employee's person.

Apple call center agents, for example, are subject to supervisors walking around with cell sniffers looking for phones on the call floor. If an employee is found with a phone, they are escorted out of the building and promptly fired.

I'm always anxious about using my back pockets because they seem so easy to pick pocket.

>Most employers do not allow cell phones to be on an employee's person.
Absolutely made up.

Someone just created a watch thread. Thats qhy

At WinCo they will randomly try to call employees during their shifts and will fire them on the spot if they are carrying their phone.

>Most employers
What? No.

Okay.
How is that relevant to my post?

It's more convenient when checking my patient's pulse.

Which post?

Obviously the one you replied to dipshit.

It was too obvious, I didn't think you were that retarded. I'm sorry you spend every day upset.

It's not professional to pull out your phone to check the time in a business setting, especially in front of a client.

If you have any remotely serious job, the only acceptable thing is a glance at your watch.

Fashion, troglodyte

So you just assumed I was talking about a completely different post for no real reason. That's cool.
Can you answer my question though? How is one company's policy relevant to knowing if most employers do something?

I'm a school teacher. I need to see the time a lot of different times in the day. If i give children five minutes to do a task i need a quick way to see the time without getting my phone out (which is generally not allowed in school anyway)

I like the style. It's a good accessory.

Taking my phone out is a pain in the arse anyway. I try not to obsessively check my notifications during the day.

Do you even have a job?

If you can't figure that out and get upset and ask someone you aren't actually asking a question.

You are being insecure and projecting your need for other people to give validity to your opinions.

Just about the most annoying thing I could do to you is ignore your dumbass question :3

Fashion and times when i cant use my phone

Yes. But how would my one personal experience have any relevance to such a metric?
This isn't English.

Fashion is for people who look good. You need not concern yourself

hurr durr relevance to my metrics
God you are stupid.

back pockets are fine for wallets and slips of paper but nothing else

have fun sitting on your phone

>hurr durr relevance to my metrics
That's the opposite of what I said.

>what is burn-in

Something that would require more than a couple of hours of static images at a time, on LCD.

Just about everything that I can see that you have said is the opposite of what you mean, you do it intentionally because you are mentally ill.

wow you sure did save that second

screen turns off automatically shitskin

You're actually retarded. Tripfags are disgusting but he gave an example of employers terminating employees for phone use which directly challnges your assertion about employers not doing so. He has yet to provide substantial proof but it's relevent to what you said.

Because these shits exist, might not exactly be this model but they do definitely exist and they bring excitement in your life when played correctly.

>hurr I work in retail as Senior Wage Slave
kys

It adds up bud. If I check my watch 5 times in a day then that's 5 seconds saved (minus the 3 seconds it takes me to put it on in the morning).

I'm not a tween who needs to carry a gossip brick everywhere they go.

This.

ITT: unemployed fags

>your assertion about employers not doing so.
I never asserted that.

There's a reason wrist watches surpassed pocket watches in the first place.

you're both autistic

all he's done this entire time apart from the initial statement is argue that anecdotes don't matter, which is true

learn to read tripfag

>not leaving your clock on
It's almost like you don't want to be P R A C T I C A L

>I'm asian
Explain. Is it easier to get a cute asian girlfriend if you have a watch or is there another asian-related reason to have a watch?

After about a minute generally. Enough time to pocket dial somebody.

>what is /wt/ on Sup Forums

>le you dont need it if you dont use it
cut off ur penis then my man (girl)

>your pocket is smart enough to slide your screen, enter your password, open your phone and dial the number
damn

Passwords aren't always needed. Plenty of ways to securely keep it unlocked when in your possession. Sliding/opening your phone is one action, pocket dialing is a synonym for whatever the fuck you want that you don't want to happen by accident on your smartphone. Two basically random actions, doesn't require a smart pocket.

2. Is very important
You can check time with wet/greasy hands

I don't give a fuck what time it is therefore I don't wear a watch
If I did care about the time then I would. Feels good to not care though - free.
