return2ozmaRFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four Years
some_guyI chose to stop wearing a watch more than 20 years ago. I thought about getting one for the health benefits five years ago, but concluded that I don’t want to have a watch nor cover an awesome tattoo. As a friend once wrote, “wearing a watch is like being handcuffed to time.”

I mean, some of us kinda need that.

I have a decent sense of time
I don’t lol. I mean can check outside, even out in the middle of nowhere, and have a rough idea; but I like knowing it because that’s just how my brain works.
and an abundance of options to verify it
Sure. Phone, computer, microwave, oven, TV, wall clock, city clock tower, someone else’s watch, etc. Again, I like having it right where I can find it.
“I’ve worn watches by my own choice since I was a kid”
Lets hope it remains a choice
I agree wholeheartedly. I like my watches. I also recognize that many others don’t.
It was a note he wrote down for himself while on strong psycadelics. I don’t think that nullifies the observation.
Ahh, that makes sense.
AntEater“wearing a watch is like being handcuffed to time.”
That’s perfect! I’m stealing this. I HATE, despise, loath in every respect clocks, watches, calendars and any other form of scheduling oppression. Go pound sand - I’ll show up when I show up.
You would have a nervous breakdown in my house. Clocks in every room and 20 watches hanging in my room.
Stop it Patrick! You’re scaring him!
Do you have children or elderly parents to care for?
Or want your food to show up in grocery stores? Or airplanes and trains to arrive on time and safely?
Time is an important safety thing.
I don’t care. The only reason this is an issue is because of all the other expectations we’ve created around time and scheduling.
Humans used to do this for millennia without calendars or clocks
It’s certainly nice to live a life free of responsibility for others, but that’s a massive and selfish privilege.
FriendBestoDo you take your phone everywhere? Does it have a clock you use on it?
So, guess the only difference is that one has an armband and the other you stare at for a lot longer?
If you do not have a phone either, then hats off to you.
I leave my phone somewhere in my home and walk into a different room. Which undoubtedly has a clock. It also doesn’t cover my cool 8-bit video game sprites tattoo.
swelter_sparkYeah, I don’t even remember the last time I wore a watch. No reason now that everything has a clock built in.
