Lets talk timepieces. Or bracelets or whatever...
What do you wear? Does it hold special meaning, or was it purchased for another function? (perhaps good for the gym).
Mine is simple but has sentimental value.

Nothing. I hate jewelry of all sorts. I barely ever even wear my wedding ring.

Fitbit Force (clock, pedometer, activity tracker)
I usually wear a bracelet or two with it.

A Rolex bought 8 years ago, but made in the early 1980s. I'd wanted one for a long time and when my employer offered big bucks for taking and passing CPCU exams (Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriter), that's how I spent the money.
I nearly always wear a bracelet on my right wrist because I have a lot of them and I love jewelry, but now that I'm retired I don't put one on unless I'm going out.

Ditto, I don't wear anything. No watch, no wedding ring, nothing. I feel "unbalanced" (a little OCD) having something on one wrist but not on the other. I also like to fiddle with that kinda thing and I'm worried I'd lose my wedding ring or drive my coworkers crazy tapping it on my desk.

Fossil watch. Present from DH many years ago. Aside from a new battery once a year, it keeps on going.
Sports watch is a Timex, also a gift from DH. I've replaced the band many times over the last 20 years, and a new battery every so often. I could use a better, more complicated sports watch at this point, but I cannot bring myself to part with the Timex.
Also own a lot of bracelets, mostly silver and copper with gemstones. Again, all gifts from DH.

I drowned my Fossil watch when I wiped out on the jetski, and I never replaced it.

Well, I'm drawing a blank for some reason, but I have to wear one of those watches that don't have a battery. Otherwise, I kill them quickly. Gah - off to Google. I can't remember what they are called...

Oh, and I wear the watch on my left wrist and a diamond bracelet on my right wrist that DH bought me 2 years ago and I never take it off (shower, sleep, workout, etc.).

I wear only Mickey Mouse watches. I currently have a collection of 14 different ones and I wear a different one each day. I love the cheap watches, but have a couple of real expensive ones as well. I try to match them to my "outfit" for the day. Most people hardly even notice.

Nothing today. I wear bracelets if I have ones that go with my outfit. I gave up on watches a long time ago. When the battery went out in the one I had an awful time getting links removed so it'd fit my little wrist I quit wearing one. I have my phone on me all the time.

My wrists are also bare. My watch battery died & I never bothered to replace it. Sometimes I wear silver bracelets. I have a beautiful woven one that I love but I need to clean it.

Sparkly hairties. They look like gold/silver bracelets. Figured they looked better than the neon colored ones I had been wearing to work A couple of months ago it would have been Sea Bands - those are attractive!! Otherwise I don't wear bracelets or a watch. I wear my wedding ring and birthstone rings for the kids that DH got me for Valentines, and I wear a necklace that he bought be when we first started dating. I lost my earrings so haven't worn any in months.

Usually nothing. If we're going somewhere really fancy, I might put on a bracelet, but usually my wrists are bare.

Nothing on my wrists. When I want to know the time I look at my cell phone. So - no watch (and no bracelets or wrist jewelry either; nothing to inherit, don't want to spend my $$ that way).

Every day I have my UP band on my left wrist and a hair tie on my right one unless it's in my hair. If I'm going out after work or on the weekend I may wear a bracelet, but besides my charm bracelet the rest are all cheap items.

At work and for nice events, I wear a black and silver Guess watch.
At home and everywhere else, I wear a purple Timex.
For running, I wear my gray and pink Garmin GPS watch.
I have to have a watch on. I can't live without one.
Also usually a hair tie on my right wrist. Sometimes a bracelet if I am really getting dressed up.

Mine's very sentimental - my grandmother bought it for me (allowing me to go over the budget she gave each kid for souvenirs) and she had the same exact one buy the male version because she could read the bigger face easier. My brother got her watch after she passed.

I recently started watches again, so a Fossil watch on one wrist.
4 sterling silver bracelets on the other wrist. I only take them off if I'm really dressed up (very rare) or doing something like painting. They're all different, 2 dainty, one feminine but not dainty, and one that's kind of masculine looking.
ETA: The bracelets don't have any special meanings. I just like silver and had never worn bracelets until saw a guy with stacked bracelets. I liked the look and decided to copy it. His were David Yurman (I think that's right), Gucci and black diamonds though. Mine aren't that fancy or flashy lol.

Medical Alert bracelet. But it's a pretty one thanks to someone on the board who gave me an awesome website.

A Bulova watch. I always have to wear a watch (don't have a smart phone) and this was my one indulgence when I got my new job.

This will sound weird, but I have one of those survival bracelets, with a saw cord wrapped in black woven parachute cord. DH won it at his company christmas party, and I liked how it looked. Kind of large, but I'm large. I'm slowly taking it off more and more though, it's hard for me to have things on my wrists and fingers since I'm at a computer or using tools a lot. I wear my wedding ring on a chain around my neck so I don't absentmindedly take it off and misplace it outside or lose it down a drain.
