About the same here.
Never wore a watch in my 39 years.

The only time I can remeber I really needed one was when I had to boil
something critical when out camping.
I believe it was eggs or rice or something like that, hard to do
without a clock.
Anyway, the problem was solved by running a song with the appropiate
length on a walkman. The song ended, the food was ok.

In the plane I've a $5 watch on the kneeboard.
