Do you wear a watch when hunting?

Always wear a watch.  Sometimes when bow hunting, I will remove if I plan on spending several hours in tree.

I always wear one, actually saving up a little on the side to purchase my first real nice watch. When. I make the purchase (hopefully in the next year) I plan to have it on my wrist until I pass it down. That's me personally. I love watches. Always have. When I finally own the one I've always wanted it'll be a part of me and part of me is yelpin at turkeys. It'll go on the adventure with me!
don't let the truth get in the way of a good story

Since I retired, 10 years ago, my watch has been hidden in my sock drawer never to be seen from again.  No need for time unless I have a doctors or dental appointment.  My cell phone is put on silent when I enter the woods and most of the time I hunt until I decide to return to the truck.  Just enjoy God's Gift without Worldly Intervention.  BLESSED!

Wore a G shock for years till it bit the dust. Now wear a Timex expedition indiglo for all hunting and fishing.

Usually a pocket watch in my front pocket.

 I do not own a working wrist watch or pocket watch.

I have never been a watch wearer, or jewelry for that matter. Being that way I have always had a good sense of the time, not perfect, but good.

I do now and for a while, carry my phone. My hunting is covering ground until I find a player, I am usually referencing my phone for something. When the game starts I don't care what time it is, Only when it's over. I have always been good at stopping on bad days at the right time. Just like said before, when the suns straight up, it time to head to the truck. At least in my home state!

You don't need a watch to turkey hunt. You need a watch for yourself.

Yes, I normally wear one with the face to the outside.  When hunting I turn it to the inside so I can check time between calling/response etc while I have the gun shouldered

No.

I own a grand total of one watch.  It's a gold Seiko.  It'd not go well with my Realtree motif.

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.

A watch is for human time, not turkey time.

What matters is how often you look at the watch and let it influence what you do.

I like keeping track of the time, so yes to watches if concealed but still visible to me.

I live and hunt by empirical evidence.

I've always worn a watch while hunting.

I wear a watch on my left wrist every day.  During turkey season, I wear the face turned on the inward side of my wrist, so I can see it just by moving my eyes and don't have to worry about light reflecting off the face.  I shoot left handed and it is always close enough to see.  Sometimes have my phone handy to text my buddies, but my watch is my primary time piece.
