More of us use our cell phones to keep time than ever before, which means seeing people wearing wristwatches is a pretty rare sight. Many people still wear them as jewelry, especially with formalwear, but not so much as everyday timepieces. Bits, the New York Times' tech blog, thinks the new wristwatch will be a gadget that keeps track of our health, like the Nike Fuelband or Pebble Smartwatch. That got us thinking: do you still wear a wristwatch?

I admit, I only wear a watch when I'm dressed up, but a quick poll of the team at Lifehacker HQ turned up a few holdouts who still wear them to keep time, partially so they don't have to pull their phones out of their pockets just to see what time it is.

Even though wristwatches may be getting rare, it's not like the tech world hasn't tried to put tiny computers on our wrists before. Calculator watches, iPod Nano watch straps, bulky mp3 player watches, they've all been tried, but we just don't wear them. Will the rush towards fitness tracking gadgets convince us to strap a gadget to our wrists again?
