Since ~2003 I didn't wear a watch, because I always had a clock with me. But a decade+ later I wear them again, because the process of checking the current time on the wrist watches is one of the easiest[0] and less obstructive things. So if I need to track the time then I just need to have a vague idea of it in my mind and therefore I would just occasionally look it up and have at least some understanding of how much time I spent doing something. Well, most of the time. Doesn't work good in a bar, but still does work. And for the shops/mall and whatever - just write a goddamn list of the items beforehand! Be it a paper list[1] or an app in your mobile clock you always have on you, you would check out the items in no time and (if you are living not in the US) you would even know how much you would spend on it even before you enter the shop. [0] well, partially, because I wear black Axiom, heh [1] I recently bought a thin pocket sized notebook (not moleskin! soft cover) and an automatic pencil. Yes, a decade+ later. The most amusing situation was recently when I needed to do some explanations, the notebook (14", an electronic one) was on the last breath, phone was on the charger quite far away and I just casually pull out that paper notebook and a pencil - my visavi just burst out laughing. The best part is what yes, the pen on paper did make the explanations fast and easy!
