How many people own a windup watch?

I was just curious how many of us own a wind up watch. I have 3 and they are old Timex military things. I also wonder who has a wind up alarm clock. If thing really do get bad do you have spare batteries for watches etc?

The correct term for a wind up watch is Mechanical and a self winding watch is called an Automatic.

LOL, I dont even have a watch!

I use the cell phone for time reference.

If things do get crazy being able to have a general idea of time would be good, but I wouldnt be worried about being late to work when society collapses and I have no job to be to.

I only notice the time, to say hi and bye to my man and go to church.. and a few appointments every now and then..

I have no concept of time generally.. I am done when I am done and I am where I am at the moment LOL

Ditto Hiddent. I don't have a watch either. If I can't get the time because there are no batteries or electricity, what time it is will be the last thing on my mind.

I'll just throw a stick in the ground, look to the North, find the direction of the shadow as it would relate to a clock and then I'll have the general time.
