You leave the house without a watch

And let's say you are 5 minutes gone when you realize it.

Do you go back? Yes, no or maybe.....

Maybe.

Depends where I'm headed.

To the gym? To run an errand? To pick up a pizza? No, I won't go back.

To work? A meeting? Out with friends? A day trip? A date? Yes, I will go back.

Absolutely. I have this recurring dream that I’m on the school bus, I look down and my pants are there, but my watch isn’t. Panics me every time.

If I were going anywhere that I’d expect to stay longer than 4 hours, yes I’d go back. Otherwise would skip it for the shorter outings.

Just happened the other day. Can't recall where I was going, but I didn't go back for a watch. That I can't recall where I was going, may be part of why I forgot to take a watch in the first place . . . .

Only once have I been going somewhere and left my watch by accident and no I didn’t feel like turning around for it. At that point it feels like you’re wearing your timepiece to impress other people. For me, I just enjoyed the evening without having to worry about where I set my wrist.

I never forget the watch as I have a routine each day when I dress.

The watch goes on right after the underwear and before the pants ... and no I have never forgot my pants

I'll definitely go back for my watch if I'm within a few blocks of home but not much farther than that for regular activities or errands.

I have, and would go back every time. I have a watch for pretty much everything I do, so while I’m awake I want to wear one.

If I'm still on my street and not in a rush, sure.
Further than that, I'll have to manage to survive.

Same here and it rarely happens. Like maybe once a year.

I never forget a watch because the only time one is not on my wrist is when I am getting cleaned up.

must agree with this.

I would likely sooner leave the house without pants on.

It is pretty rare for that to happen and it would depend on what my day consists of.. If it were a short trip I would not turn around
