Why - Yes! Yes I do have a watch and wear it every day 24/7/365. I would feel naked without it and am frankly lost without it time wise. I too have a cell phone and of course can look at that for the time, but since my watch is set by Atomic time, I trust that more than my cell phone which relies on the tower(s) it is connected to for their time which may or may not be atomic set as well. :)

My newest is on the left, and the one I usually wear. I've gone back to the one next to it recently though. Two of my watches have gone missing, I don't know if I blame me or not yet...

Anyway, in my $15 eBay watch box.

I've started wearing mine again recently. For some reason, I never seem to throughout the winter months. I still tend to look at my phone out of habit. However, I only wear it until I leave for work (I work afternoons) as it would get ruined there. So I voted Other.

Growing up, from probably like 7 or 8, I always had a watch. In the 80's and early 90's it was one of the cool gadgets to have, like a Walkman. A watch didn't just tell you the time, but had other functions too, like dates, stopwatch, (and the big ugly calculator watches), depth meters for diving, compasses, etc.

About the time that I started to carry a pager, I quit wearing watches. I like not having a large bracelet on my arm, and even the cheapest phones come with one.

I also have grown to feel like; if you can't take the time to get your phone out to look at the time, you've got a problem with time, man.

Nope. I have worn a watch for more than twenty years; however, recently have stopped bothering. There are thousands of dollars in watches just sitting in a drawer. I might put one on to dress up a bit, but cannot imagine it now for everyday use. The thing that puzzles me here, if this really is the trend (not wearing a watch because our phones give us the time and more), is why would Apple be creating an iWatch?

Yep - I wear one. Specifically went out and bought one when I started an office job. Just compliments the shirt/trousers combo I think.

Same as. It doesn't quite count as jewellery, but at the same time it gives a professional finish to an outfit.

I don't see my mobile as a replacement for a watch because a) I don't always have in with me b) it might be rude to pull out a mobile c) it looks good d) it's an old habit.

I'm not sure if it's a generation thing, and kids today don't even want a watch, but a mobile would lose in a speed test for time / date / stop watch easily.

Yeah. I get told off for getting my phone out of my pocket to look at the time if I'm having dinner with family for example. A watch is far more acceptable.

Even with 2 cell phones, a tablet and pretty much constantly being close to a computer, I feel like I need my watch otherwise I feel like I'm missing something. Kinda like in the morning before I put on my glasses or contacts, something's missing and I don't feel right until I have it on. I do take it off when I go to bed though.

    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
