why do some poeple stop watches when they wear them?

buy more expensive watches. \nThe average $5-10 watch does not seem to last longer than half a year. \nAlternatively you may treat them too rough. Non-waterproof watches are exactly that and so on...\nYou get what you pay for. \nThough you still can loose the expensive watches... so it's your decision

I believe it's because they think it looks "cool" or "hip". In reality, they look like fools. They also often claim it makes them "unique". However, it's not unique when everyone is doing it.

THEY ARE TERRRITORIAL WOMEN. THEY ARE MARKING THEIR TERRITORY FOR OTHER WOMEN TO SEE AND KNOW THAT THEY'VE BEEN THERE. THEY LEAVE THEIR CLOTHING SO THEY CAN HAVE AN EXCUSE TO COME BACK...... SOMETIMES UNEXPECTANTLY!

Hi there.....It might be an allergic reation to the nose-ring you are using. Our bodies act differantly to new and foreign objects. If you feel you have given it enough time to get use to it then you might want to go with a sergical steel or plastic. My sister has always had a problem with watches. If the back of the watch touches her skin the battery dies. Crazy but true. Just another fact proving we are all different. LOL. Hope this helps in some way. Good luck! Cowgirl

Some people like to wear time machines on their wrist.

They're a reminder of the demands of modern society. Money things are so taxing these days. If you want to cut them off for a change use The Elvis Presley approach:Return To Sender. You may be left in the dark but you won't have to pay attention to them anymore.

The simple answer: Mechanically.\n\nDepending on the sport, and the timing requirements, all events were timed with the mechnical stop watch, or an instrument similar to the stop watch.  Either a live person actually started and stopped the timer. Or in some cases, they did have what could be considered a type of laser light mechanism that stopped the timer device.\n\nNot sure how much detail you want. But hope that helps.

Some people with OCD or impulse control disorders do it.  Its a compulsive behavior.  Kind of like trichotillomania.

Because those who can, do; those who can't, WATCH.

you told it wrong, the question is "why don't women wear watches?"

There are etchings from the jeweler, which are usually self explanatory. Or rings can get scratched from normal wear and tear; which only proves the ring is being worn.

I guess so, but I don't really pay attention to that....people used to say things like that to me when I wore glasses so I wouldn't feel so weird, but who wants to look smart, really? I just want to be me, and wearing glasses wasn't me. I prefer my contacts so I can see everything clearly!\n\nI don't like wearing a watch simply because it gets in my way when I'm writing and typing ~ there are times when I should really rethink that!

I'm a guy.  I think they do it because it's taboo to touch your underwear.  Keep in mind that guys aren't immune.  You can do the same thing to them when they're wearing braces (suspenders).

Basically, you have two types of watches a old school wind up mechanical and the new modern quartz watches.  In each of these two types you can have more quality controlled manufacturing of the mechanical components to produce a more accurate watch.

If they are Asset Protection Officers all they have to do is watch people. Usually they can't use force anyway.

My guess is when people stop watching them

It's probably a habit or reflex. Maybe it's a sign of nervousness. I think it's cool when they do it.
