Daily life: NO, I don't wear a watch. I hate the feeling of something on my wrist - hence the fact that I don't wear jewelry of any sort.

Traveling (out of the country): I wear a watch, just so I can catch planes and the like. I remember sitting on my luggage last summer on the phone with my girlfriend - it was awesome, but I hate flying - although Buffalo's airport security is lax as hell. (I just literally walked through the metal detector, and they scanned the luggage I had.)

Never, I always use the position of the sun / moon to know what time it is.

Nope. All too often I get a watch caught on something at work and it either breaks the watch or nearly breaks my wrist.
I just ask somebody else for the time and watch them fumble their cell phone out.

(Though the few times I do wear a watch, I prefer a big shiny metal one.)

I used to always wear a watch... but just over the past 3-4 years I haven't at all. My last watch was also from tokyoflash.com, one of their 'pimp' line of watches... really love the unique designs they offer. But now I just use my iPhone for time checking.

I used to, but when the battery ran out we couldn't get the back off to replace it. Usually you can get them open with a bit of persuasion, but this one's not having any of it and I never got around to taking it to a jewellers.

I like the metal bracelet-like ones but I'm really fussy so it takes me ages to find one I like

At the moment I've got this one.

I used to have a watch but these days I have no means of telling the time at all unless a stationary clock happens to be around (rare for some reason).

It seems I live a carefree life.

Most of the time I'd wear a watch. Usually a metal bracelet type one with an analog display. I'm just used of having something on my wrist. Far easier to glance there than to fumble around with my cell.

I used to, but I found it to be useless later on. Nowadays, ANYTHING has a watch in it, be it a mobile phone, a DS, a TV, a calculator, etc. There's no need to still wear a watch IMO.

I don't wear DSes, TVs, calculators or phones on my wrist though. I like the fact that watches are handsfree and I can just glance at my wrist to find out the time.

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

    It's all good no one pays attention to the law anyway lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    If someone is in the military they should be allowed to smoke and drink at 18.... Would help drive recruitment lol

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all know they do and will anyways. I think laws prevented them only pushes them to illegally do it. Even tho if was legal, most prob wouldn't even bother. Not a big deal or risque if its legal, no fun.

    That's why some kids don't mind having a rap sheet or two just so they never get drafted

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also, i think the voting age should match the adult and drinking ages too, because by the logic of giving them time to mature and think rationally so they don't drive drunk, then they should also have that time to mature and think rationally so they can think for themselves
