It took me some getting used to but now with clocks in the computer PDA
note taker etc I find a wrist watch to be less required. It has allowed
me to relax a bit as well since most people are late to meetings anyway
getting everyone on the same second is impractical. I still have a
pretty good sense of time and make all those hard time coded deadlines
as well. When I can get a digital Braille watch that syncs with WWVL I
will be happy as long as the thing is not like wearing wrist weights.

Wow, if I didn't have a wrist watch I'd feel naked.
