Watches

Stranger: May I know what is the time now?
Me: ermm….6:19....nope 6:14
 Do you wear a watch?
I did but that was a long time ago, during my student years.
 I have some cheapskate watches which I wear to school and most of them are easily 'kaputt'
It was adjusted to 5 minutes earlier than the actual time, hence during the exam time, it would gave me the perception that I don't have much time left to finish off the answers when I still have 5 minutes left.
Anyway, the remaining time is used as a buffer to 'final check' my answer sheet.
After having a handphone, I no longer wear a watch coz I felt uneasy having something tied to my wrist, especially when the weather is hot and my wrist is sticky from the sweat.
Besides, I felt that wearing one attracts unwanted attention, coz someone would pretend to ask me for time and open up a conversation. This happened during my late teens, where a guy did this and followed me for weeks. Back then I was working part time in a shop.
Now back to these watches....obviously both of these are not mine.
They are of the same brand 'Tissot', on the left belongs to sis, and the right belongs to mum. Both are bought separately on different occasion.
Do you wear watches?

I wear a watch all the time even when I sleep. LOL! I need to know the time so that I am not late for anything. Without a watch, I feel lost. I prefer to check the time on my watch rather than my handphone. It is scary right when someone follows you like that. Happened to me too when I was in uni. I hated it!

I cannot do without watches. I find it easier to swing my hand and read the time rather than take out my mobile phone and read the time, same as PH. My watch is casio brand, costs only S$30 and i hv wear it for more than 10 years.

Yes, I do wear watch but not all the time. Most of the time when going out like to work or shopping. Hahaha... Watches for me are like accessories but I don't buy a lot. So far, I only have two that are still working well.
