Man, 24 hour analog faces just seem so hard to read. Not that your watch isn't very pretty, but a digital 24-hr watch seems more practical. (...and not that practical needs to be your goal either I suppose. :) )

I gave up on wearing my watch when I realized the only thing I used it for that couldn't be replaced by something else I already carried with me was preventing me from losing my wedding ring - I had the habit of only taking my watch and ring off together, and putting the ring on the watch band. So it was a glorified keychain. Meanwhile I always have two other timepieces on my person (cellphone, pedometer) and unless I'm on the bus or walking, another 2 or 3 or more in easy reach - wall clock, laptop, work computer, alarm clock, microwave, oven, thermostat... ubiquitous clock functions sort of make a watch hard to justify.

I like the watch better for checking time, but I can't stand to type or play music while I'm wearing it, which covers my day job and most of my at-home time, so it's too annoying to get in the habit of looking at my wrist for the time and then be thwarted. So now I just want to make a fuzzy ring clip I can maybe attach to my belt loop.
