Sixteen Ways to Use Your Wrist Now That Watches Are Obsolete

I need the Oreo holder. :)

I am, however, one of those old fashioned types who still wears a wristwatch so my wrist is occupied.

Watches aren't obsolete.

Exactly, wyrda. Wristwatches replaced pocketwatches for a reason.

I was going to says something but there's no better way to say it that how Bengerman did.

I still wear my CASIO Databank 150 calculator watch. I don't own a mobile phone. :P

Considering that it's much easier to subtly check my watch during a meeting than to check my phone, which is often left back at my desk, my watch isn't going anywhere soon.

Because yes, our conference room doesn't have a wall clock or anything.

But I like the emergency Oreo....

All you watch wearers should start a support group (and you could talk about your butter churns and rotary phones too).

Which begs the question, is the watch, in fact, obsolete?

* Note also that this comment is really to take the opportunity to use the phrase "begs the question" in it's proper context.

Watches will be around as long as there are slick white collar big shots who want their wrists to show off how much money they can waste.

Emergency Oreo, although tasty, does not allow me to calculate the bill or currency conversions, like my trusty Casio calculator watch does.

I would ditch the calculator watch, or possibly put it on the other wrist, if the Emergency Oreo automatically replenished itself.
mmm oreos.

Yeah, because I want to whip out my cell phone to check the time. But this culture we've created around mobile devices is ridiculous. I still use an alarm clock too. Because the damn thing works every time.

I have a cell phone, don't have an alarm clock (the cell phone is doing that job neatly), but I don't see myself giving up my wristwatch. And I own a simple piezoelectric Timex which only shows the time of day, day of week and day of month -- so it's not about status symbols or extra functions. Although I'm almost always surrounded by clocks of all sorts (cell phone, car, home, computer), I have to look for those -- in contrast, I always know where my wrist is, without fail.

While the cartoons are funny, I must point out wristwatches still come in handy for running. Much less bulky and easier to check than a Flavor-Flav style clock or whatever he thinks has replaced them.

I wear a Rolex. My wrist is happily entertaining luxury while laughing at all other novelty.

That's not enough for parking these days.

I still wear a wristwatch. It's a habit going back 30 years and not likely to be bumped off by something I've had 1/3 of that time.

Not just the white collar bunch, but also the gold-chain sporting rapper-wannabes who like to show off their bling.
