    I know quite a few people that dont carry a mobile but wear a watch.

    Plus you can wear a watch places you cant take a phone ie.hospitals, swimming etc.

    I do carry my phone with me most of the time but never look at it for the time, I look at my watch, surprisingly I only look at my mobile if it rings or I get a message.:rolleyes:

    Watches - reliable, don't need charging every few days, can be checked discretely, don't require you to reach into a pocket when using them, always display the time (unlike many mobiles that turn of the display after a minute or so until a key is pressed) and can be used safely whilst doing other things.

    A phone is a very poor substitute for a watch, positively a step back a hundred years to the days of the pocket watch in terms of easy time keeping :p

    As an alarm clock however mobile phones excel :p (my mobile gets much more use as an alarm clock than as a phone ;) )

    Mine arrived this morning. It is really nice and apparently once fully charged it can keep working for 6 months in the dark. Unfortunately it'll take 36 hours for it to fully charge on a dull, overcast day like today although only 25 minutes on a sunny day.

    You might want to change your sig, as Amazon aren't doing the price refund thing anymore.

    For me a watch is more than just for telling the time - I would rather wear a watch instead of jewellery.
