I used to not wear a watch, then I started wearing one a year ago and it's such an improvement over using your phone.

The fact that you can instantly see what the time is means that you're always aware of the time. It's improved my timekeepings so much, and I'm rarely late to things any more.

It's really hard to explain but I think an analog clock is far more intuitive than digital.

Interesting. I got rid of my watch for that same reason.

Maybe it's a personality thing, but I felt I looked at my watch too often and that it was symptomatic of a general sense of being a 'slave' to time to an unnecessary degree.

So I got rid of my watch as part of a general de-hasting exercise, and started to be more... flexible, when possible of course. I feel it greatly increased my happiness.
