Number of times I need to check the time during the day: about 30
Number of times I need to use my cellphone during the day: about 1

Watch beats cell, for me. The cell stays in my briefcase.

A watch is handier. I have to dig out my mobile phone. With a watch, I just look at my wrist.

Haven't even had one that runs for around 20 years. Pretty much stopped wearing them when pagers came out. Then again I've been on call pretty much since high school, and now I'm an old fart ;)
