Funny you say that...I used to wear the Until there's a cure bracelet on the left, and the watch on the right...I haven't worn either in a while, but normally I only wear my rings ...if that.
How long did it take you to get used to wearing a watch?

Perhaps it is a generational thing, as studies actually indicate that fewer young people wear watches than their older counterparts. My mother, who always wears a watch and who feels it is imperative for a responsible adult to wear one, made me wear a watch beginning when I was a freshman in high school. I wore a watch daily without fail for 4 years. When I went to University, I took it off and haven't worn one since. I didn't like it when I was a teenager, and I don't like it now. I do wear bracelets, and I don't know why I feel comfortable with that and not a watch, but watches just aren't for me.
However, anything will become habit if you do it enough, even if you don't particularly like it. I did feel like I was missing something when I would forget a watch while in high school, much like the sinking feeling you get if you think you have forgotten your purse somewhere.

If I go out without a watch on I always have the sense that something is missing and I sometimes feel like I have lost something. I probably started wearing a watch when I was five. I don't think it should take very long to get use to it. Once you do, you will not want to take it off!
I never wore a watch in college or law school. My mom bought me a watch for Christmas after I had been out of school one year b/c she said I needed to grow up... 
I think it took a month or so to get used to it. However, I don't like the feel of a leather band/bracelet- only metal for me.

I'm pretty sure I was born wearing a watch,LOL!!! I actually had to get use to taking it off everynight when I got my new one! I would NEVER take my old watch off! I am a lefty as well, but I have always worn my watch on my right hand.
I keep trying to get into the habit and I just can't. Maybe I'm wearing the wrong kind or whatnot but watches always really irritate my wrist.
I have worn a watch since 6th grade. If I leave the house for even a short period of time, I don't feel right without my watch. I've tried recently to move my tennis bracelet to my left wrist & not wear my watch. Can't do it. lol
My nieces are 23 & 27. Neither wore watches until recently & that is just my older niece who wears a cheap watch with a second hand for work; she is a physical therapist. Her boyfriend gave her a ceramic watch for Christmas so she wears it regularly.

I'm not a watch wearer either Ame. I love the look, but wonder if I would ever get in the habit of putting it on every day.
I did get the invicta. It's a little large but the last watch I wore was a gigantic mens titanium fossil so this is actually a tiny bit smaller though has a leather band.
I do like that I can read it easily, and from most angles!
I am working on it. I put it on in the morning for sure. I have been taking it off after work as I go to the gym and don't want to sweat with it on.
i've always worn a watch, since i started learning how to tell time, i got a swatch watch 
till this day i even sleep with my rolex haha.
but i get your problem, my fiance does not like to wear watches at all, so what he did is get a really light watch, one with leather straps. he has a patek, it weighs almost nothing and it's really comfortable.
