This poll needs to be broken down by age and gender. I think you'd see pretty stark differences.

Wut? Are there people who don't? How the heck do they avoid getting swept off by tides of time?

I don't. Haven't since I lost my watch in like 1999. My hypothesis is most people under 25 never have because smartphones were available by the time they were teenagers.

I like the idea of a watch. I dislike the reality of a watch. Same with a single purpose clock. Feels like a taskmaster. My life is structured for stop watches/alarms. Acute vs chronic time stress.

I was 8 and thought it was the coolest thing. I think I stopped by the time I was 12.

I had one as a kid, and I use one at burning man and similar "off-the-grid" events. Haven't used one regularly ever.
