If you start wearing one again, be
prepared for people to ask you for the time a lot. Even though most people these days own a smartphone and/or smart watch, I still get asked what time it is more than you would think. Go figure. Thankfully, my watch has a fairly large and easily readable [analogue] dial, so most [older] people can see it for themselves.
I asked someone for the time once. His response was: "Time for you to get a watch."
That has been my go-to response for a while now. (When I sense that it won't be taken as rude, of course.)

Easy. Casio F91W. U.S.$23 brand new. Great watch, proven over decades & cheap. Buy two ... or three or four. Or two and a shed-load of spare batteries. Or go with a solar G-shock. Can't go wrong with either of those, IMHO.
