Normal (dumb?) watch on left wrist, Mii Fit band on right wrist
Pebble... does a bit of both
Nothing.
Cheap watch on left, Microsoft Band on right.

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!
Nothing
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.
Nothing
nothing or one of my non smart watches...
Nothing but a watch if I'm going out out.
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'.
nothing
Nothing.
I've received a nice watch as a gift a long time ago but I've never wore it because I was worried that I might ruin it. Around the same time I was wearing a cheap Casio watch which I had considered disposable, but over time I had become attached to it and stopped wearing it because I was worried I'd ruin it.
This is why I can't have nice things :'(
A Timex Expedition, 10 quid. It tells me the time.
Sony Smartwatch 2 :)
Garmin Forerunner 235
Nothing at all, I used to wear a watch years ago but not any more
Just a regular analog watch.
Fossil Smart watch
"What do you wear on your wrist?"
Nothing and if I did it would be a watch. Just because the marketing states that I should wear X I prefer to listen to the y of my mind.
(Band 2 for when I exercise :) )
Just my poor aching heart
Either an Animal watch for 80% of the time (ahem!) or a Citizen for the rest. No "smart" watch with dumb battery life for me.
Have not worn anything on my wrists for over 20 years.
I wear a 10K watch.. :rockon2: ... (a 10,000 Serbian Dinars watch that I bought last year on a trip to Serbia :) ), looks good though.
Normal watch.
I have 3 mechanical watches, all Vostok-Europe, 2 with tritium dials so they glow without needing light to charge.
Hair?
I have an analogue watch, but I rarely wear it. It isn't a great burden to pull my phone out of my pocket.

Radio controlled, so I don't have to adjust it when the clocks change. Solar powered so I don't need to worry about battery life. Waterproof to 5 bar.
It just works. No need to take it off, no need to adjust anything.
Nothing
Nothing most of the time. Nike Triax C6 when I am working out (if I remember).
Actually I *think* that the one I have might be a replacement of the same watch. Memory kinda fuzzy now but when I first bought it the early 2000's, I used it *a lot* to the point where I might've worn it out and bought a replacement because I really liked it.
But I think that the days are numbered on the one I am using now and with it being discontinued I think that I will give Polar a shot (because it's usually has better compatibility with other devices). I was actually going to buy a BT one a few years ago, but found out that it wouldn't have been compatible with the S3 which had a botched BT 4.0. Now that I have a new phone I will probably look again. But even though straps today can work with smartphones, and the S7 has a HRM built in, I'd much rather have someone strapped on my wrists than in my pocket when exercising.
Pink furry handcuf ..... oh wait, wrong ... ahem .... forum.
Watch, dumb, analog. Which one varies. Or nothing.
All depends on mood and occasion, Usually it's nothing because I am getting too old to bother caring.
If I go out, It's my 10+ year old Seiko kinetic watch that still works perfectly.
Have gold bracelet and necklace but never wear the bracelet, Bit overkill in my opinion.
Could see myself getting a smart watch in a few years, mostly for music playback for working out, But still waiting for a decent battery breakthrough.
Last lot I looked at probably over a year ago had 30 minutes playback, Not enough it needs to be at least 1-2 hours.
Ohh and it needs to be round can't stand the squarish/rectangular Apple watch, Reminds me of Fisher Price toys!
left casio G-shock watch (solar recharging), Willis Judd Mens Black Titanium Magnetic Bracelet With Green Carbon Fibre
right. Willis Judd Mens Black Magnetic Titanium Bracelet With Red Carbon Fibre and a Razer Nabu X
probably get a Apple watch next year.
A wristwatch.
Nothing at all.
Nothing, and i havent seen a device that would make me choose to do so.
Citizen Eco, that is, until I seemingly misplaced it a week or so ago. Who misplaces a watch? How? I have a nicer watch, calvin klein, but it seems more fragile and I have a history of not being so gentle with my stuff so I try not to wear it that often.

Watch.
Oris automatic. Basically haven`t taken it off for 10 years.
Handcuffs, ready to do interesting things with young ladies in hotel rooms...
I used to wear a kinetic watch when in college about a decade ago (I feel old now). It felt a bit heavy to me on my wrist so I wasn't overly keen on wearing it and haven't worn anything since.
Handcuffs ;)
Apple Watch is my main daily driver and has been for well over a year. Before that it was the Pebble Steel. I do have a few traditional timepieces like to wear on special occasions though.
Nothing.
An 11 year old solar powered Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster 200M WR watch in stainless steel.
LG Watch Urbane.
My 21st Birthday present. Like this

Sony Smart Watch 3 or an Ebel 1911 BTR Chronograph usually.
Nothing. Stopped wearing a watch when I got my first mobile phone.
I still wear a watch on and off, and when I do it's a Rado Ceramica Multifunction, which I was given for my birthday a couple of years ago.
Just a normal watch, no tech here
Sony Smart Watch 3 - though probably don't use it for notifications for over 2/3s of the time - battery drains too quick, 1.5 days - but, I have used the app Facer to custom design my watchface so that I can tell the time without my glasses on, which I can't do on any big display non-smart watch that I found in my research.
More discrete to glance at a watchface, for time/notifications than rudely pull a phone out in company.
Had a Fitbit in a belt pocket - steps are much more accurate at hip level than on a wrist and I know that they're not ever so accurate anyway.
I wear a Garmin Fenix 3, sports / smart watch... really like it, just wish I'd held out a bit longer until they released the Fenix 3 HR that has a heart rate monitor in the back of the watch.
I wear an ordinary analogue watch because I like it, and because it's easier than getting my phone out of my pocket and waking it up, to check the time.
I have several friends (and a wife) who don't wear watches 'because they don't need to', but when I'm with them they're forever asking me what time it is :) (edit: To which I hilariously reply, 'Time you bought a watch').
Until the proliferation of smartphone, I always wore a watch, actually felt naked without it.
These days, nothing is on my wrist....although it may be time to send my watch off for a new strap and battery and start going "retro" :)
Always an Automatic. Day-to-day a Rado Original (hard to scratch a tungsten carbide case), Oris Big Crown for special occasions. I knew somebody who bought a gold LED watch in the 70s only to find it was obsolete within two years, and I have no plans to repeat his mistake.

Worst smart-watch ever.
It doesn't go off when my phone does, it doesn't sync my email, it doesn't connect to the Internet and there is no way to recharge the battery! Every couple of years you have to physically replace the whole battery.
Nothing, I liked the look of the moto watches, but reviews are mediocre and I have skinny programmer's wrists, so I'll probably stick to nothing
During work hours I wear an antistatic wrist strap, outside of work usually nothing (unless I have left my wrist strap on!). But as I'm in Thailand on holiday I'm wearing a black wristband out of respect.
Garmin Fenix 3 HR, so it's a smart sports fitness tracker watch - pricey but I love it.
Nothing.
I haven't worn a watch since mobile phones started displaying the time on the screen, and there isn't anything so pressing in my life that I cannot afford the three seconds it takes to remove it from my pocket and press a button. As far as I'm concerned, other than a few specialist use cases for wearing a watch, anything else is just pointless vanity and I don't have the time for that.
