I do. I used to wear one all the time as a kid so it's partially out of habit. I don't like having to pull my whole phone out just to check the time when I can do it causally on my wrist, and I have a smartwatch but the screen never turns on when I want it to.

I bought an automatic Steeldive watch off Aliexpress that's pretty good and one of the cheapest solar watches from Citizen I could find. Solar watches are great, they're so light and require almost no maintenance.

I'm not into watches for the fashion so I find so many of them incredibly ugly for everyday wear
