I got a Microsoft band a couple of weeks ago; love it. I have 3 EcoDrive watches that I used all the time. I still use them, but just not as much. The band in so useful
On my wrist? Nothing, my whole life, and if you ask me the time ? I can always give it to you, with a 10 minute window. Surpisingly I am rarley late. I do however look at the clock on the stove.
@mick My kids always tell me I don't need a watch since there's a clock on the kitchen oven. Brats. Omega Mini Constellation. Gold, diamonds. Fanciest damned watch I've ever owned. LOVE it.
I haven't worn anything on my wrist since I worked in Walmart, the land without accurate clocks except in the single punch clock that would only show the time if you stuck your time card in. And it was usually a little off, anyway. Actually, I have had a couple hospitals throw wristbands on me. Those are just annoying. Now, my wrist go free, get tanned, and feel the wind in their hair.
I wore a diving watch for decades, but since I now golf more than swim, I rarely wear it. It is too heavy for golf. I wear a Jawbone on the other wrist.
Now just a nice titanium watch that just tells time and a date window. I had an old Ecodrive and it felt like part of Picolo's weighted clothing set; very heavy.
Casio DW5600e G-Shock. I started wearing it after my much loved Casio DW-200 Marlin Multi-alarm started leaking after its 3rd battery change when it was 26-ish years old.
No interest in smart watches, Apple or otherwise, but I might someday upgrade to a higher-line Casio atomic
Moto 360. For retro, a fossil kinetic skeleton with see through back. I love the non-techiness of the exposed mechanical movement. Previously, a Samsung gear that I'm now selling to a friend. And soon a citizen eco drive blue face titanium jobby.
So many people have asked me if the Samsung or the moto are the Apple watch. If nothing else, Apple is good at publicity.
A citizen and a pulsar. Both graduation gifts a long time ago.....but I only wear them when going out. I scratched the shit out of the pulsar at work and stopped wearing them unless its a dress up thing like a bar. I want a shinola mad in Detroit and a Rolex but can't bring myself to buy something more expensive than a car
A fitbit for about the last year. Tried keeping my analog watch and fitbit on at the same time and it just looked goofy. I think I'll eventually go back to a watch, I do miss it.
A friend of mine was just telling me this week that at his work he has noticed a direct correlation between his wearing a watch and the engineers interacting with him. No watch, he doesn't exist. Watch, suddenly he's a respectable human being they can talk to.
Analog watch with a moon that goes across the sky, and is timed to be accurate with the phase of the moon and time of night for the moon and where it is in the sky. Bought it when I worked in Germany taking DoDDs kids doing outdoor adventure through the German and Austrian alps backpacking, kayaking, rock climbing, caving… It better not ever break.
I have to admit that I was talking some serious trash in another thread about how horrible wristwatches are. I mostly stand by that. It had been literally decades since I'd been bound by the forearm clock. But I just had to go and buy the Metawatch. And I actually wear it. And I look at it far more often than I should (hey, it not only has the time, but the weather, my calendar, my new messages and notififcations--from just about anything, it seems--and, um, yeah, that's mostly it; still).
I take it off for typing or other serious manual activity, but I don't totally hate it. I wish it were lighter and did more stuff, but it's okay. And despite what some folks are saying, the battery life doesn't totally suck either.

@pjdemmitt I meant to say "The band IS so useful". It wan't even auto correct this time, just mis-typed.
I haven't worn a watch in a couple years but recently got a Pebble smart watch. I'm still getting used to it on my wrist.
What's on my wrist? Why, this MehtaWatch Frame I recently bought from this very website, of course!
Flesh
@DrunkCat whose?
I have a seiko kinetic diver that I love. Tried on the 42mm apple watch today. Apple is getting my $400.

@mick Must be a pain to drag a stove around everywhere. Seems like a watch would be easier.

@LaVikinga Personally, I find diamonds on a man's watch to be rather gaudy. But more power to you, enjoy it.
@cinoclav I can get away with small diamonds on a small watch since I'm of the female persuasion. ;)
@LaVikinga Lol - For some reason I was thinking that was a man's watch. You're good to go. ;)
Nothing. I hate wearing things on my wrists.

Nothing. I do wear a Road ID when I run or bike.
@illiniben617 My road idea passed for age verification to drink this weekend after a race:)

I wear a Timex time teacher kid's watch because I have small wrists and it has cool lizards on it.
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Seriously, I quit wearing a watch on purpose many years ago. I work in front of a computer screen and have a phone in my pocket.

@duodec I'm currently wearing this watch. Solar, atomic, stainless band. I bought it primarily for work but it's become my every day watch for everything. The stainless band gives it enough class to wear with nicer clothes. For $89 or so it's a great buy. http://www.amazon.com/Casio-MTGM900DA-G-Shock-Stainless-Digital/dp/B0094BKASS/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1429540855&sr=1-1&keywords=MTGM900DA
I have my mind on my money and my money on my mind...what was the question again?
@iamdmann What kind of gin do you mix with your juice?

NOTHING. My arms are too weak to support a watch. They get all numb and achey.
a couple freckles.
Jawbone UP24. I hate it when I look at it like it's a watch. Derp.
Fitbit Charge HR. Cause if fitness came in a bottle, everyone would look like Cher.
@ascii256 She doesn't look that great, anyway.
Fitbit Charge HR here too... had it for a little over a week! (I kill watches in 2-3 days if I wear them.. always)

It used to have a medic alert bracelet. Now it goes all natural.

I'm not big on jewelry so usually there's nothing on my wrists.

A Casio MRW-200H I found it washed up on a Puget Sound beach covered in seaweed. Keeps on ticking.
