Haven't worn a watch in over a decade since these days we have so many devices that include a clock function. On the bike handlebar I usually have a decade-old GPS which tells me the time to within a fraction of a second - good enough for most purposes.

I have a yellow Nike running watch that has been out of batteries for awhile. Otherwise, I have a cycling computer that displays the correct time. Prior to the cycling computer, I'd just stop and take my phone out of my pocket.

The bezel on the GMT-Master is for a second time zone which is indispensable to me. They're also handy for reminding you when your parking meter expires.

I just wait until I pass a bank. Then I can usually tell how much time has passed since the last time I saw a clock.
Otherwise I would just grab my phone out of my bag.
No watches. Always tried to wear a watch when I was younger, but they never stuck with me.

this is my watch. I don't wear it all the time, but it's been a good watch. Going to replace the band soon, but not sure with what.
