So it turns out I'm an idiot !

[Matthew9559]

I keep reaching for my phone to check the date and then realize that it's on my wrist and available with the flick of the wrist.

 

[H3rman]

To be honest I wear a watch every day and have done for the last 20 years or so, and I do occasionally check the time on my phone, but usually it's because I'm about to use it for something else anyway, or it's on my desk infront of me.

I won't pull it out just to check the time and then put it right back in my pocket though.

 

[Jordan921]

Nope not me.

Anyone else pull their phone out of their pocket to check the time only to feel like an idiot after?

This guy does, a lot

I keep waking up at night and flicking my wrist in the Pebble watch style to get the backlight to come on. Doh! Not only am I usually not wearing my Apple watch then, but it doesn't work anyway.

That's something I would do. I'm considering wearing it on my left wrist. I'm right handed, but as a kid it just made sense to me that if you were right handed, you'd wear watches on your right wrist, and nobody ever told me I was doing it wrong.

If you are right handed you will be better to wear your watch on your left wrist. When ever I wore my Rolex on the right hand I would bang it into stuff way more often. your watch on you less dominate arm with help your watch immensely.

Of course you can do as you wish, just my observation.

Probably depends on how long it last. There is a chance it won't even register. Or you might have to "OTHER" workout.

Suddenly I think a camera on the watch could be useful.

Hahhahahaha! *gasp*. You made my day!

I teach foreign language. I skip the unit on telling time because today's teens don't have a clue how to use an analog clock. Reading an analog clock is foreign to them, and it's not taught in primary school anymore.

If I tell them class starts at a quarter past, they pause and ask me what time that is. <sigh>

Is this for real?

I've NEVER done this.

I've never even HEARD of the concept of pulling your phone out to check the time until about 6 months ago. I always wear a watch, so I won't have this problem.

Sounds real. I've been asked by some 13 year olds the time, and I tell them something like 5 before 4. They then ask 'What?' I say 5 minutes before 4:00. They then say 'What time is it?' Then I say - 3:55. They then say 'ok'.

Doh.

It is for real. They only know digital time. 7:15 is seven fifteen, not a quarter past 7. 7:45 is seven forty-five and not a quarter to eight.
