Yes. Cheap Casio for day to day. Nice Timex for Sunday. Had a Fitbit but it died so I went back to the Casio.

I wear the watch I received from ExxonMobil when I retired. Wear it 90+% of the time I am awake.

Yes, I have a small assortment of inexpensive wrist watches. The one I usually wear cost me $10 at WalMart and keeps almost perfect time.

My husband does but I no longer wear one.

My mother wears an apple watch now 24/7. I highly recommend it for seniors who live alone. My mom has been taking some falls and it has saved her butt a couple of times as she can make and answer calls on it. She has recently moved to assisted living but still wears it just in case she can't reach her pendant for some reason with her one good arm.

Yes, both of us still do.
I know the popular choice is to use a phone, but I am not attached to my phone the way some are.

Casio. Have every since I bought the first one decades ago. They last about 10 years. Only problem is the band only lasts 2 or 3 years.

When the next one I buy costs 2 or 3 times as much it will be.

I haven't worn a watch for at least 10 years. Clocks in the house or car are always close by so I stopped, that and what I wore always brought back bad memories.

So I gave my son my Rolex for his 40 th birthday.
