I'm seeing my watch as a watch first, an accessory second. I do have a smartphone, but honestly I'm not looking at it 24/7. Often my phone is somewhere in my bag and digging it out just to look at the time would make me crazy.&nbsp; That said, if you wouldn't want to wear a watch, be honest and tell your mum. I think there's nothing wrong with being honest about which present you would like (or not) and why. Just do it in a tactful way. Getting a nice watch you won't wear is a waste of money. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway/page/2#post-1402321 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 07:05:29 +0000 PromOutfitters 1402321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still wear watches.

I wear a watch 24/7, the only time I have it off is when I'm in the shower! I have a nice little collection, all trendy/fashionable with one vintage wind-up that was my mother's.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the first white one the best, but since you don't have good experiences with white, you might want to see if it comes in black! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway/page/2#post-1402220 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 03:14:03 +0000 Anonymous 1402220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rhea, do we have the same mother? Mine always <i>completely</i> means well, but gets oddly stubborn and&nbsp;specific about Things She Thinks&nbsp;I Need.</p> <p>I'm in my 30s and have always worn&nbsp;a watch every day for basically the same reasons people have mentioned. I don't always have my phone right with me and, even if I do, it's easier to just look at my wrist than drag the phone out. I like how a nice watch looks&nbsp;as an accessory and, since putting one on is so automatic for me, it's a really low-effort&nbsp;way to look a little more put-together. And Thistle's point about meetings is key! Same thing for any situation&nbsp;where you're&nbsp;counting down the minutes until it's over, but are too polite to want to make it obvious.</p> <p>I have two watches I wear regularly. One's a delicate two-tone metal one that I coincidentally got a few years ago when my parents (by which I mean mostly my mom) gave me money to use&nbsp;towards a nice, "adult" watch for my birthday. The other is a chunky rose gold Michael Kors one with a very similar face to the second one you linked. It turns out that, once I had one nice watch I enjoyed wearing, I wanted another one I could wear when I felt like something a little more statement-y.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you really don't think you'll wear a watch, I like the idea people have suggested of gently seeing if your mom might be open to getting you another piece of special jewelry that you'd wear and&nbsp;appreciate more instead.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway/page/2#post-1402219 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 03:12:01 +0000 Dee 1402219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in my early thirties and I always wear a watch. I always feel a little lost without it and keep checking my (empty) wrist. I like being able to know what time it is in meetings or on transit without having to dig out my iPhone. </p> <p>I have two Fossil watches. Both are stainless steel. One is chunky with a pink face and the other has an oversized white face. I treat them as jewelry, inasmuch as I don't wear the pink face with crazy colors but goes well with neutrals and I think the oversized one adds a bit of drama to my daily outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway/page/2#post-1402211 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 02:55:47 +0000 shiny 1402211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>49 years old and I stopped wearing watches in my late 20s, long before iPhones and laptops. Why? Because I was that anxious kid growing up, the one that got a stomach ache when the school bus was late. I stopped wearing a watch when my kids were born and who needed a watch then&nbsp;- they cried when they wanted to be fed or go to bed and that's all I needed to know what general time it was.&nbsp;</p> <p>Flash forward and because of YLF I can totally see the fashion sense in wearing a watch, something fashionable and more like jewelry. So I do, every now and then, try on a watch as a fashion accessory. But it doesn't last all that long and I am cheap about it and don't invest a lot of $ in it, since fashion whims change so fast. Chunky watch would be great (fashionably) but hard to find the right size when you are 5'0 tall with small wrists -- has to be to scale.</p> <p>If I need to know the time I am already surrounded by clocks. Car clocks.&nbsp;Laptop. iPhone. Everyone else's iPhones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway/page/2#post-1402207 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 02:39:46 +0000 Meredith 1402207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you able to be honest with her that you will wear the watch only once a month or so? So that you don't feel like you HAVE to wear it all the time? If she's okay with that I do think you'd find a reason to wear it. I'm 31 and find a watch to be much more discrete for checking the time in my work setting. But if you think you can convince her to buy a bracelet or something more desirable, go for it. But back to watches...I like the two that you picked and maybe the white isn't such big deal if you don't wear it often? Have you ever tried a magic eraser to touch up white leather? Also, straps are pretty easy to replace. Or, is there an option in rose gold? I seem to recall you posting on that subject in the past. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway/page/2#post-1402201 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 02:26:40 +0000 MsMary 1402201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear a watch and love it, but I'm old.</p> <p>I'm so old, in fact, that I remember my second-grade math workbook with "time pages" in which there were pictures of clocks and we had to tell the time, and also, I think, calculate, for example, how many minutes between the time on Clock A and the time on Clock B.&nbsp; (Ha!&nbsp; <a href="http://www.k5learning.com/free-math-worksheets/second-grade-2/telling-time" rel="nofollow">They still exist</a>!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway/page/2#post-1402196 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 02:20:13 +0000 Staysfit 1402196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my watch. &nbsp;I still &nbsp;use it. &nbsp;I have my cell phone with me all the time, but for time and date, I use the watch. &nbsp;Old habits die hard I guess. &nbsp;Mine is a Buluva mixed metal watch with, date and a second hand. &nbsp;It's the longest lasting watch I've ever owned. I've had more expensive watches, but this one has been the best. &nbsp;Oh, I just noticed, it's doing that double click thing when the seconds go by which means it's time for a new battery! &nbsp;Good thing you posted, or I might not have looked so closely! &nbsp;I have to head to the jeweler tomorrow!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway#post-1402108 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 23:55:34 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1402108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear a watch most days but like others, my watches are a piece of jewellery for me. &nbsp;I also have both an android and blackberry. &nbsp;I don't take them with me to meetings. &nbsp;I find it a bit inappropriate for people to check their messages during a meeting. &nbsp;I feel the same way about friends checking messages during dinner. &nbsp;:) &nbsp;</p> <p>I have the same rose golf fossil that Aida has as well as a man-sized square stainless with gold accents and a le mer. &nbsp;I am thinking about getting a teal green nixon for a hit of color.</p> <p>No one should wear something they don't choose to wear so if you are truly opposed to a watch, perhaps your mom could get you earrings or a bracelet instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway#post-1402107 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 23:54:49 +0000 L'Abeille 1402107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re: Aziraphale's comment: My kids are all in their 20s and I realized they never really "thought" in analog time either, due to so many digital readouts. Now (I think!) they can all actually tell time from a clock face, but they don't really THINK that way--so, for example, I have to say "come at 9:40" because "20 to 10" may not ring any bells, or the wrong ones. (They had to explain this to me.)</p> <p>As for me, I even sleep with my watch on. If I leave it off by mistake, I sleep in because my subconscious thinks I must be on vacation. I pilfered DH's watch when we were on a canoe trip as newlyweds, and we spent the next week going "what time do you think it is? Should we ask those people in that canoe?"</p> <p>As for your dilemma--I'm not sure. I like to think that for my own kids, I would choose the gift they would actually use. But for your mom, a watch may have different resonance than jewellery--"You are an adult now" vs "Here's a pretty bauble for a pretty girl". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway#post-1402060 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 22:56:50 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1402060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Gaylene and Aida; if you really don't want a watch, level with your mom and propose an alternative. Or pick one out that you like aesthetically and have it around for the odd occasion (but don't wear it only when your mom comes to visit; that's just weird. You're an adult I presume, you're allowed to have boundaries and choose what you want to wear irrespective of whether it was a gift from someone you care about.)</p> <p>I wear a watch but I know a lot of folks who don't anymore. For me it's a combination of a habit and the distraction effect rachylou describes - if I have to use my phone to check the time I'll only get distracted by texts or emails or what-have-you. And I do still think it's rude when people use their phone to check the time because they aren't paying attention to you anymore. I suppose that when wristwatches were first trendy, they were thought of as rude as well. </p> <p>I can't remember where I first read about it but did you know that wristwatches were only the domain of women for a long time, and men carried pocket watches? Then watches got more precise and wristwatches were worn a lot by troops during the wars at the turn of the 20th century - the Boer war, the Spanish-American War, then WWI - and became a masculine artifact, so much so that a lot of women of my grandmother's generation had brooch watches or no watches at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway#post-1402043 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 22:28:49 +0000 Aida 1402043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>33 here, I wear a watch daily and am definitely a tech person (I'm a computer programmer); though I will say that I personally do not enjoy having my cel phone constantly on my person, which means it's usually in my purse (and I don't want to fiddle with taking it out to check the time) or on a table somewhere at home (and I don't want to get up and look for it to check the time). For my style I prefer larger oversized watches and metal bands in particular. I have a few, but the one I wear most is a rose gold from Fossil (see below).</p> <p>I think you've gotten great advice above regarding what to do, and would echo the sentiment to either 1) Try to convince your mum to get you some other form of well-crafted jewelry that you'd get more wear out of, and if that doesn't work then 2) Pick a watch that you like that you wouldn't mind wearing, even if it's just around your mum. The two watches you linked are quite nice, and I'm sure you could find something similar through the store your mum is interested in purchasing from. They also both have some classic elements to them that won't date quickly, so if down the line you suddenly find that you want to start wearing a watch more often, it'll still be plenty current looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway#post-1402018 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 21:00:31 +0000 abc 1402018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always wear a watch. &nbsp;Under 40. &nbsp;I travel a lot and until recently you couldn't have electronics on in the airplane. &nbsp;It drove me nuts to be sitting at 35,000 feet and not know (A) what time it was or (B) how much time we had until we landed (yes I am one of those people that calculates it on every flight).</p> <p>I have two - a white rubber banded one with gold accents and a metal band with diamond face. &nbsp;Both are Michele brand and I love them and hope to wear them until they die (hopefully no time soon). &nbsp;Having two suits my lifestyle well, the white being more casual and the metal band one dressier.</p> <p>I like the suggestion to look at it as a bracelet that happens to tell you the time.</p> <p>And total&nbsp;LOL Rachy</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway#post-1402014 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 20:53:18 +0000 Marilyn 1402014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband would whole-heartedly agree with you.&nbsp; But I never leave the house without my watch.....I feel lost without it.&nbsp; Like Diana, if I forget it I find myself constantly checking a bare wrist.&nbsp; Mine is a silver Fossil watch.</p> <p>That said, I don't love the idea of people forcing things on you that THEY think you need.&nbsp; My mother-in-law is like that and she has wasted a tremendous amount of money on things I'll never use.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway#post-1402003 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 20:37:20 +0000 Aziraphale 1402003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Side note -- want to hear something funny? I recently made the alarming discovery&nbsp;that my eleven-year-old <i>does not know how to tell the time</i>. From an analog clock face, that is.&nbsp;I was initially astonished, but when I thought about it, I realized that there are literally no working analog clocks in the house. None of us wears a watch. We have digital clocks everywhere -- on the computer, on the oven, on the microwave, on our handheld devices. The kids both have bedside alarm clocks, but they are digital too. We do have&nbsp;one beautiful antique mantlepiece clock that I inherited from my grandmother, but since it has a loud, irritating tick-tock, I never run it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Once I'm done this semester, I'm going to sit down with both kids for half an hour and teach them how to read an analog clock face. But I think this anecdote speaks volumes about the the growing quaintness of analog <i>anything</i> in this rapidly modernizing culture!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway#post-1402002 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 20:34:48 +0000 Diana 1402002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear one every day.&nbsp; If I forget it, I find myself looking at my bare arm all the time!&nbsp; And yes, I have a smart phone too, but I still like to wear (and use!) the watch.&nbsp; </p> <p>Mine all have leather bands, since I do not find the big metal bands comfortable.&nbsp; </p> <p>My husband has a pocket watch that he wears on occasion.&nbsp; It's a really fun statement, especially since he has taken to wearing vests a lot.&nbsp; If I wore clothing that had appropriate pockets for pocket watches, I would consider it too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway#post-1402001 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 20:30:11 +0000 gryffin 1402001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a watch but I consider it, as others have said, a functional piece of jewelry.&nbsp; The first is actually my everyday watch - I know very fine and dressy but it's a signature and with my white gold and diamond wedding/engagement rings and diamond studs I always feel polished.&nbsp; Also I don't carry my phone with me at work and I like to check the time.&nbsp; The second is a fun piece - it's a self winding, working skeleton watch and oversized.&nbsp; I always thought they were cool, I wear it instead of a statement bracelet.&nbsp; I do like things from bygone eras - antique furniture, porcelains, silver, vintage jewelry, gracious entertaining&nbsp;- things were made to be beautiful with great attention to craftsmanship&nbsp;and&nbsp;made&nbsp;to last.&nbsp; I think there is a graciousness that has been lost in our time- that makes me sad.&nbsp; That being said Rhea - I do agree with Gaylene that your mom probably wants to get you exactly that, something beautiful, crafted that you will enjoy for a life time.&nbsp; I would see if you can find a compromise.&nbsp; Also there used to be watch bracelets where you needed to flip a hinged lid to see the watch - that might be something to explore.&nbsp; Also men's pocket watches can be worn on a chain as a large pendant and they are really beautiful.&nbsp; Most have decorative covers so you'd get hidden watch as gorgeous pendant and who does not need a gorgeous long pendant on ocassion?&nbsp; Just some thoughts for you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway#post-1401997 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 20:12:31 +0000 Anonymous 1401997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I won't get into the wear-or-not debate here - doesn't really matter what we all do anyways . You're the one who has to wear it! &nbsp;But I will answer this: &nbsp;I have a white banded watch with a big silver and white face and I absolutely LOVE it. I wear it only in the summer months sort of as a way to save the strap from getting too grungy looking. It've worn it now for 2 summers, and it still is in perfect condition. It didn't get as dirty as I expected it to, which could also be because it's a faux-alligator stamped leather band. &nbsp;I find the white can go from dressy to sporty, and also enhances a tanned arm &nbsp; I am so glad I bought it and ignored my inner voice telling me it was impractical. &nbsp;It's pictured below - and mine has silver hardware instead of the gold. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway#post-1401990 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 19:54:04 +0000 Simone 1401990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 34 and always wear a watch.

I'd go for the white band if that's what you think you would like and wear.&nbsp;I don't know what your relationship with your mother is, but as a mother of two 30 something watch-wearing adult children, I would appreciate their honesty, as I want to buy them gifts that they really want, not something that would make me happy. &nbsp;If you are only buying it to please your mother, something is really wrong with the gift! &nbsp;My daughter wears a Tag Heuer and my son currently wears an orange plastic $5 digital watch. &nbsp;Go figure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-still-wears-watches-anyway#post-1401984 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 19:39:04 +0000 Anonymous 1401984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love watches and always have.
