1. Do you regularly wear a watch? Why (not)?
2. Are you a P or J? Better yet, if known, what's your whole type?

-------- My answers --------

1. Yes. No need to dig out my phone, and I hate being late.
2. <--- Already listed.

I do not wear a watch- I don't wear bracelets either- I hate to have things around my wrists :laugh:

I use my cell phone as a watch :)

Yes, I have a watch that I bought specifically for jogging so I could time how long I've run/walked. I also wear it when I go anywhere so I can check public transportation schedules and so I won't be late for appointments.

I'm a Keirsey INFJ, and lots of people think eNFP with strong Te by function theory (which also gives me J-ish behavior, either way.)

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.

If it looks cool. Actually looking at it isn't much of a priority.

I go through phases of wearing or not wearing a watch, so i'll either go aaaages without wearing one, or i'll wear one all the time.

I need to wear one for a particular job, but that is actually a watch as a necklace rather than on my wrist. I also have a watch that i use combined with a heart rate monitor when swim/run so i know my timings, rate, etc.

Sometimes, even if i'm wearing a watch i'll still look at my phone for the time.... :doh:

Rarely. I find wristwatches to be uncomfortable. I'm pretty good at gauging the approximate time without a watch. If I want to check the time, I can always rely on my cell phone or ask someone.

I used to wear one all the time, but it died and also got gross (fabric band). Replacements have proved unsatisfactory so far - too distracting.

I'd prefer to wear a watch if I could find a comfortable one, which probably won't happen. I've adjusted to not having one. My ipod has a clock anyway, and I nearly always have it with me.

I probably wouldnt even know what time it is if I dont live with 2 Js who "take care" of clocks in the house.

but i think this is more a matter of habit. I miss watch very often, just forget to wear it.

Well....

1. My smartphone has clock functionality though I tend to see plenty of clocks around me regularly, thus I don't wear a watch. Even when I was younger, I rarely wore a watch and often got a rash from them the few that I did try.

2. INTJ as listed.

No watch. Cheap metal watches make my skin react badly, leather gives me a rash if my wrist can't breathe. I don't want to spend enough money to see if titanium or gold agrees with me. Being P probably doesn't have anything to do with it, I'm always on time or 5 minutes early.

Meh phones a watch. I don't really plan things so time isn't a major issue. School and work our of course scheduled, but I forgot when I go into work sometimes and school is always consistent so I can't really forget that. Otherwise I just go with it. Howeva I always feel the pressure of running out of time, or not having enough time, but that is unavoidable. Or avoidable by just filling the time with actual events and not waiting, which I try to do when I get bored and I don't think it will interrupt any scheduled event.

I feel weird if I'm not wearing a watch. It's an essential.

I wear a watch everywhere but the shower, even though it is waterproof. I have it set fast as well. Being late panics me a bit, well, if it's important, it does. I use my watch for its intended use, and I also think of it as my prop for when I am a bit uncomfortable.
