    A smart watch, a normal watch, a fitness tracker, something else entirely, or nothing at all?

    Re: QOTW: What do you wear on your wrist?

    Before everybody had a phone in their pocket you literally came across as a bit of an odd-ball if you didn't wear a watch, but now that I have a smartphone attached to my leg 24/7 and I sit in front of a computer screen for at least 8 hours a day - I no longer need to look at my wrist to know what time it is!

    In short - I wear nothing on my wrist.

    Other than those who are into tracking fitness and exercise (and feel the benefit of having stats on their wrist whilst doing said exercise) - I see no point in any of it!

    Re: QOTW: What do you wear on your wrist?

    Been wearing a Casio LW-200 for over a year. Funny thing it, I recently found out that my mother in law wears the same watch (but different colour). Also I once went to a children's play with the kids and the 10 year old (or so) I sat next to had the same watch.

    Just ordered this to try. I like the idea of a smartwatch, even had a Palm watch years ago. For $26 I felt it was worth trying, but I'll probably go back to the Casio.

    Re: QOTW: What do you wear on your wrist?

    Usually an automatic blue Orient Ray, but I've also got a couple of other (non special) watches.

    In the last week I also bought a terrorist-spec Casio F-91W.

    Not interested in smart watches, I have a phone for anything 'smart'.
