Are watches (wrist watches) retro yet? nt

1. Never stopped wearing one

At least when I am working.

Vacation time, no watch. Play time, no watch.

2. Not yet. Check back next week.

3. Sundial pocket watches are

the latest thing, I've heard.



Also sundial wristwatches.

4. I've never liked wrist watches

and since retiring and no longer having office obligations, I haven't worn one. I am however now using my grandfather's old pocket watch on a gold chain from his days as a railroad engineer in the early 20th century. I'm looking to buy a Victorian style waistcoat for it and maybe a derby or homburg hat. That's more than retro and probably a bit eccentric.

5. I used my grandfather's pocket watch for years...

... he was the VP of the Virginia Central RR for awhile, and the watch had a VCRR cigar cutter on the chain. Solid gold, original glass. Eventually the mainspring broke.

I can't abide wrist watches and have not worn one for over 30 years. Pocket watches are much more civilized: if I require to know the time, I take it out and look, I'm not always being reminded of it.

6. I would say yes, and never liked them & always was mystified by the fetish

and when I retired, plus the advent of cell phones and all kinds of time displays, never needed them.

I wear stainless steel bracelets on each wrist. A little bit biker.

7. I've stopped wearing them so long ago...

... I don't even have the tan lines anymore to show where I used to wear them.

Which means they're probably close to being retro, yes.

8. I quit wearing one years ago. Never liked wearing them,

but with cell phones now displaying the time I just quit wearing them.
