I do have some watches I've kept, you guys reminded me. One is a Goofy watch that the numbers are counterclockwise on, don't recall if it runs backwards or not. I know there's a Mickey Mouse and a Pooh. And a Fossil with the crystal cracked off the front. The plastic is still there but the pretty stuff that was on top is not. I should get one out and put batteries in it. Don't know when I'd actually wear it though.

Nothing. Don't like bracelets. Most of my life I wore a watch, but I've lost the habit. I used to wear my X-Files watch every day, always took it to Sears to have the battery replaced, but apparently they don't do that (here) anymore, and the employees at the mall jewelry stores don't want to be bothered. So when the battery died a couple years ago, right before I went on a trip, I bought a plain black Swatch at the airport and wore that till the battery died. Then found that I could get by without it. To my surprise, I have turned into one of those people who pull out the cell phone to see what time it is.

I'm wearing a Disney Mickey Mouse watch I bought at JCPenny's right after DH died in 1998.
As a kid he had a MM wrist watch and he loved it. His trip to China/Japan in the Navy he picked up a skin fungus that settled on his hands and wrists so he switched to pocket watches. I found a MM pocket watch years later and he used it until he died.
My MM watch is in his memory.
I also wear a wedding ring from DH#2.
I inherited a watch from my uncle that has a silver Navajo band and the band is over 50 yrs old. I wear it to church.

Didn't wear a watch or anything else for years and much prefer not to wear anything.
Now I usually wear a big, tacky waterproof Timex watch because it's the absolute best thing for countdown timing for sailboat racing. Most of the good racers I know have something like this and the pretenders have the fancy (but not accurate) stuff. I also kinda like it because even though it's ugly as sin, it has a vibrating alarm and I use that instead of an alarm clock so I don't wake the entire family at 5:30 or 6 AM when I get up to exercise.

My husband's balls. They go with EVERYTHING! Usually nothing unless I'm going out. I'll wear a watch and/or a bracelet then.

nothing. Watches stops on me after 6 month. No one knows why...they say I have some electricity in me that's interfering with watch mechanism. Bracelets make me want to play with it until it is broken or bent or jus ripped off and thrown somewhere. by me ofcourse. I dunno, nothing sits on me. No earrings, no rings no chains. And it is cheaper this way btw...

My memento from hiking the Washington section of the Pacific Crest Trail. The "trail" spells out Washington pct. I found an artist on the internet whose tats I admired, commissioned him to do the work, and then had it done. (I can, but rarely do, put a watch on which will completely cover it.

I'm wearing one of my Mickey Mouse watches (one of the more "casual" ones) - I have 9 total - 5 are casual styles, 4 are more dressy Mickey watches.

I usually wear a hair elastic on my wrist so I can tie my hair up in a bun. I lose track so I always end up with 2 or 3 on my wrist.
When going out, I usually wear my rolex and wedding ring.

I love LOVE watches. Right now I have on a red one because I wore red accessories today. I also have on left wrist a 14K gold link bracelet that I've had for years. On my right wrist I have a Medic Alert bracelet. The insignia on it is purple.
I have about 15 more watches in my jewelry and my Rolex is in the closet on the watch winder since I haven't worn it for a few days.

I've been told by medical professionals that you should be wearing a bracelet on the left wrist, because a first responder is going to reach for that hand to check your pulse. I don't wear a watch, so they wouldn't get tangled anyway, but thought I should point that out.

That is a good point Chiv. The one time I actually needed the MA bracelet, the paramedics told me they didn't have time to bother with it. I'm laying in the squad trying to remember the drugs I take, the dosage and how many per day. That was when I quit paying for their "call us" service.
But I always wear a watch, and I'm hoping they would take the time to read the MA because it clearly says NOTHING is allowed on or in left arm or hand.

I wear a watch sometimes. I received it as an incentive based on how many fossils I sold one graduation/Father's Day season. I got one for every 20, and I was giving those suckers away to family.
I'm not a jewelry person (my wedding ring is on a ring thing on the microwave), but sometimes a watch is important. I wore it yesterday at a conference. It would have been rude to have been constantly checking my cell phone, but it's easy to casually put your hand on your other knee and glance down.
That conference represents the eight longest hours of my life. It would have been more fun to clean.

I only need two or three - whether I have my name on it or not - but I know they can do up to five. or you could go the route my dad does - his is on a chain around his neck.

BG, we have something called the "Yellow Dot" system. You get it at the fire dept. THEY have your entire medical history on file and can access it when you call in. They know you have it because you have a yellow dot decal in the lower left rear window.
It's actually free, which is cool.

Medical Alert bracelet. But it's a pretty one thanks to someone on the board who gave me an awesome website. So share, pretty please! Those of us who've been putting off getting one because they're ugly NEED this information!

I bought a few and and I just move the tag to which ever one I feel like wearing. I bought a tag with the white "alert" rather than the standard red, so it's a lot more subtle. Most people don't realize what it is and I get compliments all the time on my "lovely bracelet".

During the day, a Seiko watch. If I am dressed up, my Omega watch. When I worked, I didn't like to wear anything on my right wrist to work.

Nuttin', hunny. I rarely go anywhere anymore, but will wear either my Rolex or my Omega if I do. Around here watches and bracelets just get in my way. I do wear my wedding rings and an emerald ring my hubs got me for our first anniversary.

I just got arrested for trying to be the most powerful mod by shooting xrays from my eyes and sunshine from my keister, so I've got some handcuffs on right now. But I'm working on disintegrating those with some magic skin softener which burned me and made me grumpy. I have 15 days left to work now. Wow, that's a superb number to type . Usually, I just wear my Seiko which my DD got me several years ago, and a simple wedding set on my left ring finger. I don't wear my "real" wedding set because of getting older, and not wanting any display to attract unwanted attention from not-so-nice people when we're out.

Naz, sometimes I think I should buy a big obnoxious CZ solitaire wedding set and keep my real one in the safe. I won't wear it on long trips, and I turn it around when going into a rest stop. I can probably get one at Belks for under $20.

I can probably get one at Belks for under $20. I know it sounds weird, but I'm a lot happier with my diamond engagement ring from my DH locked up at the bank. I feel a lot better just wearing something nice but ordinary, or something really ordinary-looking on my ring finger. Sometimes I wear a simple silver wedding band which has no stones.
