  1. Who wears a watch these days by rossdee · · Score: 0, Troll

    I haven't worn a (wrist) watch for decades
    When you have to do frequent hand washing (in the last 35 years I have been employed in the meat industry, food industry, childcare and elder care) its not worth the hassle.
    Of course I gave up Apple in 1988
