P vs J - Wearing a Wrist Watch

[Red Herring]

I wear a watch. I feel naked without one, and it's a pain to dig out my cell to see the time. My wrist is RIGHT THERE.

I'm a P. I like knowing the time, but knowing the time doesn't mean I'm good at gauging it or being on time.

What she said.

Also, this might be age related rather than type related, with the younger ones doing without an analogue single function device.

One main drawback of wearing a watch is when you hold a mug of coffee in the same hand and decide to look at the time or someone asks you for the time

i sometimes wear two, one on each wrist.
that's either a very J thing or a very P thing.

One would hope after doing that a time or two you'd learn to put the mug down first!

I LOVE wrist watches. This one I bought for university (winter '04) I still have, but I've not worn - namely thanks to use of time on the cellphone. I set it's alarm for 6:20am during the first term all the way back - and it still goes off at that time til now, lol.

I wear only clothes and shoes.

Watches are uncomfortable so I don't wear them. I normally just go about not knowing the time or looking for clocks on walls/other people.

1. No, because, well...I need one. More like, I want one.

2. I'm an xNFJ....

 

[Owlesque]

Always. I tend to feel anxious without some sort of time keeping device at hand, and I need one for work to fill out charts.

I feel naked without a watch as well. I put it on when I get up, and take it off when I go to bed. I just got a new one that has several alarm functions, stopwatch, timer, is solar powered, updates its time via radio signal, etc. etc. (I take my watches very seriously.)

That's a cool thing. Why haven't I thought of that? I'm going to start wearing 2 watches and a clock necklace. Also a steampunk hat with clock gears on it. hihihi...muwahahah.. I love it.

I heed the position of the sun and its relationship to Mother earth.

What about pocket watches!? I mean if you are going to go all out with clocks and watches, you could at least show your pockets some love too!

Most watches that I like pull my arm hair. Until I feel like wanting to spend the money on a Tag watch I have my cell phone with me at almost all times.

I have a chococat wristwatch I got in a happy meal. It smiles at me and makes me happy. It doesnt really keep time because the little buttons get pushed and reset. I am not sure where it is right now.

My toddler INTJ loves watches becasue he wants to be like the big INTJ. He thinks it is six thirty all the time though as that is the only time he knows.

Just got a wristwatch. It has seven interchangeable bands so I can wear a different color every day if I want. I just like to play with the colors. It's not a new watch. It was given to me. It needed a battery. So I took it to a jeweler to change the battery. After he fixed the watch, I asked him how much I owed him. He said, "Nothing. This is our Christmas gift to you. Merry Christmas." I said Merry Christmas, too.
That was so nice. I was very moved by that.
The watch had previously belonged to a woman who went to the church that I attend. She recently passed away. When I wear the watch, I can remember her.

Why would you get a watch when everyone has a cell phone?

 

[copperfish17]

To me, watch = bracelet.

I have a ceramic watch that looks like this (except it isn't from Chanel). ^

 

[Queen Kat]

Always. I wear a men's watch.

Nope, haven't for years. I stopped being so fixated on time when I lived in South America and they used the sun's shadow to tell time. I loved the accuracy and living with nature aspect to it. Now I just use a cell phone.
