Most people nowadays do own one piece or more of an electronic and
portable gadget like the iPod or a mobile phone. However, the thing
is, with the onslaught of such gadgets and devices in the market
place, other things are set aside. Like wristwatches for example.

It seems like every damn piece of electronics I buy has a clock built in, whether I want one or not. Most I
don't even bother setting. My cheapo Casio wristwatch is all the timepiece I need, and is likely to stay
that way for th forseeable future.

Oh, and my MP3 player is a Sandisk Sansa. With the current firmware, the clock isn't visible while
playing music or the radio. Perfect for me!

My cellphone has been my time-keeper for the past few years. Before
that I had a dollar store digital clock in my car; stopped wearing
wristwatches about 10 years ago.

My Sony MP3 player doesn't have a clock either.

Only time I wear one other than a plane is in the obvious places
where courtesy dictates turning off the cell.
