    I know, we got phones to check time conveniently everywhere we are, but we can't forget trusty wristwatches! Do you use a wristwatch and what kind of wristwatch is it?

    I'm not much of a watch person. The last time I wore a watch was back in 2004 when Burger King sold SpongeBob-themed wristwatches with their meals; in fact, it was one of those fads that became popular in school for kids to wear.

    No, never been a wristwatch wearing person but the idea has grown on me. Might get one someday.

    I use a pocketwatch. But, inside its digital. I rigged it up so it requires a usb charge.

    I call it: Techno-retro.

    It's certainly best of both worlds. What a great idea!

    I've never been much into watches where you have to charge with a USB or have to replace batteries, though a USB charge is more convenient than having to take apart a watch and replace with a lithium coin cell battery. I would think that you'd have to charge it often, but I don't really know since I don't own any USB-chargeable watches. I think quartz-powered watches are more fascinating just because of their piezo-electric property. But nowadays, phones just tell what time it is, so I don't see a lot of people wearing watches. And I've never understood the enthusiasm for more modern watches like Apple watches, when people carry their phones anyway. And it's oftentimes frustrating having to change time whenever Daylight Saving Time comes along (particularly on older watches), but a phone can do more than what a watch can.
