Is there a still need for a watch when we have one in cellphones? I always wonder this. (Except perhaps as a piece of jewelery for men)

You can be more discreet when glancing at a watch than a phone - and it's still that much easier to look at one's wrist than having to take a device out of a pocket.

The Rado Ceramica and Movado Valor watches are the least obtrusive watches I own. Both have the added benefit of being extremely durable (I'm tough on watches). They still get in the way a bit, though.

Maybe you need a ring watch. This one is interesting... http://www.nova68.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&...

But I'd prefer the Pooh watch... http://www.whattimeizit.com/servlet/the-1/winnie-the-pooh-ri...

I've never had to take off this when typing: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002HI5N5A/

I use one with a cloth band that's snug enough to keep it from sliding down; the cloth makes it sufficiently comfortable when a bit snug.

It's also small and very modest in scope, just an analog hours and minutes hands display (yes, I'm old fashioned).

sad i missed these comments until just now. excellent advice (one of you)
