Do you wear a watch?

Would you send me a picture of yours? I would like a picture of the watch you wear most often, on your wrist, in the position where you usually wear it.

Please include a caption.

I wear it this way so I don't need to turn my arm. It also may be safer for the watch. — I wear it this way so I don’t need to turn my arm. It also may be safer for the watch.

This is my watch, a Fitbit Inspire. I bought it because it's a pedometer, but am pleased that it's also a wristwatch. I'm dreading when it eventually stops working (they're made with rechargeable but non-replaceable batteries), as it seems that Google bought Fitbit simply to eliminate them as a competitor, and they've stopped manufacturing Fitbit products. — This is my watch, a Fitbit Inspire.

I love my watch and I’ve had the same swatch watch for 20 years now. I once lost it and went online to try to find it again and I did. So this is the second iteration. The clasp is loose and so I’m wondering how long it will be on my wrist.

Phases of the moon watch. Gift from my husband. 1980s. I was known as a moon lover long before I was known as Chandra.

Simple small Timex purchased in about 2024. Husband wanted to gift me a fancy watch. I said no. The time is the same on a simple one.

Here’s my “everyday” watch, which I’ve worn since July 14, 2010, or thereabouts. I tried to find an interesting background.

A Sharp. Waterproof to 100 feet. Battery operated. Japanese Movement. I've had it for many years . It's 2nd hand given to me by someone in my classes. Old Trusty.! I've not taken it into 100 feet of water!!! Yet. — A Sharp. Waterproof to 100 feet. Battery operated. Japanese Movement. I’ve had it for many years .

Firefox Focus

I tried Firefox Focus a few years before the pandemic when I was testing Android browsers for digital signage. Focus didn’t meet my needs at the time and I moved on. (I ended up using Fully Kiosk Browser. Eventually left Android for Screenly OSE)

Fast forward to now. Most of my screen time is on my phone during my commute and break. The news sites I like to visit are almost unreadable on my phone, due to excessive ads. Google Chrome doesn’t accommodate extensions. A search on ad blocking Android brought me to Focus. I find Focus fast, efficient at blocking ads, and fun to use.

Also available for iOS.
