P vs J - Wearing a Wrist Watch

[Stanton Moore]

I wear one. I like watches. I am supposedly a P. It was given to me by two Js and a P, but I liked them before.

 

[Condor]

Don't wear one...there's enough places I can see the time without one. Cell phone, computer, phone on the desk, etc. that wearing one becomes redundant.

 

[cascadeco]

I don't wear a watch.

In years past I would go through phases of wearing watches, but whenever the battery died it was preferable to cease wearing one than to go to the effort of running an errand to a mall to purchase a new battery.

I find I don't really need one, though. The clocks in my apartment and in my car are sufficient, and I'm always on time (or more likely, early) to things.

I wear a watch when I feel like I'm doing productivity/work related stuff...leave it off during weekends/at home...tend to take it off a lot when I'm in my office or whenever I stay in a place that feels like it's mine at least a little (it's a surprise I never lost it - actually I did once in a mosh pit...it got trampled on, but the watchmaker managed to fix it). Sometimes I'll only wear it for the aesthetic effect (as in the mosh pit, it's pretty much a chunky metalic bracelet ). It's always running late (between 3-4 minutes these days) and I don't change it to daylight saving time. It's both a confirmation of my Te nature and a secret rebellion against it! I also tend to be (a little) late...

My watch stopped working recently, probably to do with the battery .. I took it back as i'd surprisingly brought warrenty and told a little lie so i could get a new watch .. New one is watch/bracelet mix and its cute.

I am more likely to check my phone then my wrist to find out the time (Force of habit) but i need a watch to time my clients as i need to keep to a schedule. So i do the subtle arm stretch and move the watch (very small wrists) to check out the clock face, lol.

Oh, i'm a j

I find my phone works just fine as a clock. I rarely find myself needing to check it either as I can typically gauge time +- 5 minutes if I've seen the time in the past hour or two.

 

[MacGuffin]

No. I will get used to wearing one, then I'll take it off one day and not wear it for years.

1. Do you regularly wear a watch? Why (not)?

Yes. Started wearing one in first grade. I like knowing what time it is, I feel in control of time and myself that way, and I hate to be late, so all of my watches and clocks are set 3 minutes ahead. I liked taking time when I was younger, how long it would take to walk a mile or something along those lines and then trying to beat that time the next time. It's possibly just due to habit but I feel naked without it. Sometimes it's a good prop during social anxiety, pretending to be busy and looking at my watch while being alone in a crowd. Fiddling with the band gives a sense of security.

I tried not wearing my watch for a while, only used my phone and it was fine, so I guess I'm not too obsessed with it and I just wear it out of habit. I like nice watches as accessories as well. My favourite one has an awesome super light titanium case and band so you can barely feel it. Really nice.

2. Are you a P or J? Better yet, if known, what's your whole type?

Presumably...INFJ.

 

[Coco]

I'm a P and yes.
Mine broke, so I'm always asking other people what time is it.
I hate not knowing what's the time.
Lol. >.>

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.

This sum it up. It's just easier, and I can check the time in a subtle manner, to avoid offending others.

Watches mysteriously die when I wear them. I don't know why (weird electrical field?), so I just depend on my cell phone, which manages to survive.

Oh yeah, the sentimental significance plays a part too. My 3 watches are all gifts. 1 was from my siblings for my graduation, 1 was for my birthday and the 3rd was from a colleague because I helped her daughter with her AI programming homework!

Anyway, if I didn't own a watch, I doubt that I would go to a watch shop to buy one though...

 

[Snuggletron]

I don't wear a watch because I'm not a dinosaur

 

[mrcockburn]

Yeah, I have absolutely NO internal clock. I -need- something on me that tells time...at all times. And of course, I'm way too lazy to scrounge through my briefcase to dig out my phone, whose battery always dies on me at the worst times.

And I also set my watch 4 minutes ahead. xD

 

[Stevo]

a wristwatch? No way. They're too uncomfortable.

 

[animenagai]

This isn't just a type thing, it's also a generational thing. I don't think a lot of people my age wears watches anymore - it's a one function device. There are clocks everywhere, including on your phone.

 

[wolfy]

I don't wear a watch. I look at my phone, my ipod, the wall...the clock on the wall. I like to talk about the time too "Hey, it's 10:41 already" Time

1. Yes I regularly wear one... It's not for the time, it's because over the years I've become accustomed to having something on my wrist, so if it's not there it bothers me. And I have a pretty watch from a jewelry store...it's more of an accessory than a necessity. I rarely ever check the time on my watch... Usually use a wall clock or my cell phone.
2. P... ISFP

I can understand that. I used to wear a wrist band when I played tennis as a teen and it made me feel that much more Bjorn Borg like. I forgot to say I'm isfp.
