I'm so used to wearing a watch, when I forget it it feels weird to me...

Wearing a watch does feel weird at first if you don't normally wear one, but you get used to it after an hour or so.

From what I've heard, watches can get annoying for particularly hairy breeds since the hair can kinda get stuck in the watch...

...I don't think I want to think about it.

Which is weird because I am FAR from one of those breeds.

Eh, When I was in highschool, I wore a watch on the side of my pants. nowadays, i just look at my phone.

I actually just remembered - I wore a watch around 2006.

I don't remember my hair getting in the way, though - perhaps that's only for certain types of watches?

It's pretty much just anything that I wear around my arm that bothers me. My skin must just be very sensitive or something.

You could have allergies to certain metals or something.

I used to wear a watch and I'm very hairy, arms included. I never had any issues.

How incredibly... well, it was from the late 80s, early 90s. If it wasn't big, it wasn't hip.

Edit: That's not the one Bloodstar was talking about, apparently. This is, I believe. I can see why the other one is so big, I didn't even pay attention to the fact that it had a game on the screen.

That is pretty awesome...

I remember having a game watch once in the late 90's- not Mario, I think it was called "VIRUS" or something. It was also pretty massive.

My Brother had the G&W wrist watch they made in the early 2000's. I think he got the Donkey Kong one. (That's also the only G&W I ever remember playing in the 80's)

One that is interesting is the trend some people have using the iPod Nano as a watch. I've never seen it personally.

Yep, Katelynn found it.

Emuz: ...I couldn't imagine using the iPod Nano as a watch. I've never seen it either, but if I had one I'd rather use it as a music player. Of course, if I wanted a pure music player I'd think of getting the Classic - 160GB is a hell of a lot of space, and being able to use it as a portable hard disk is excellent as well.
