No way I'm going to wear a vintage Longines Ultrachron while cycling. So I bought one of those cheap digital Dakota watches that has a timer.

I wear a Breitling watch that I found on a bike ride while traveling to the NYC Metro area to visit Mrs. ElJamoquio's family. Some rich idiot threw it out their car (probably limo) window because a link in the strap broke.
NYC morons.

I have skinny arms and watches look amazingly horrible on my arm. That and I destroy them like no ones business. Plus, my cell and cyclocomputer both have the time on them.
So... none.

Usually no watch if I'm just going for a ride but if I'm commuting to work or something I'll often have my Omega Seamaster Professional on.

I suspect I've got a watch somewhere, but I'm not sure where. I quit wearing a watch on October 1, 1998, and haven't worn one since.
Even when I'm out ... like shopping in a mall or wherever, there are clocks around (although not usually placed in a very obvious location), and when you get your till receipt, the time is usually there. I've even used busses to tell the time ... if you know your bus schedules quite well, you can guess that if a certain bus goes by, it must be approx. a certain time.

Casio MT-G G-Shock. Been using it for the last 3 or 4 years. I wear my watch everywhere, even in the shower. I only ever take it off after the shower to let it dry (so it won't smell so funky).

Swiss Army...only if I forget to take it off. I use my Cateye Micro computer for time and all other functions.

I wear a G-shock. When I raced cars I always wore my Rolex, matter of fact that was pretty much my everyday watch.

Casio wave ceptor -- synchronizes with the atomic clock automatically. My favorite watch I've ever owned.

My computer has a clock and several timer functions, why would i wear a wrist watch?
Besides, that would add too many grams

Either my Axiom HRM or else a Casio. Don't think I'd like to see my dress watch make contact with the ashphalt. Once knew a guy who lost his Rolex while tubing on river in Fla. He thought he lost it near a dock, oddly enough. Did some snorkeling and diving for it that afternoon. But, it was a gonner. Maybe the alligators liked it.

I like the look and feel of a nice watch on my wrist. I wore a Tag Heuer 1000 dive watch for 14 years before upgrading to a Rolex stainless Submariner two years ago.
