It's liberating in a way. Less tied to modern convention, slightly off-grid. It started with an extension of my weekends, I've never worn a watch at weekends and one day it extended into the week. Since then it's been a daily thing, except for a few odd days. Despite having it on all day, I've not looked at it, instead referring to where it has now been a habit for me to look; wall clock, mobile phone, computer screen.
It might also be something wider than that, my txt comment to my GF today that I'd rather be doing something else than work, despite the fact that the wages pay the bills!
In the meantime though if it is a symptom of something more than just not wearing jewellery, I'll keep my off-grid ways.

I also like that slightly liberated feeling of being watch-free. I can't escape wearing one at work though - my cheeky students tend to wind the clock on when I'm not looking, then they try to get let out of the lesson early.
One of my colleagues always takes her watch off as soon as school breaks up for the holidays. It's a kind of ceremonious thing: the watch comes off and is placed in her school bag, where it stays until the end of the holiday.
