The battery in my watch died about a year ago so I decided to just retire it to my nightstand drawer. I'm never out of reach of my BlackBerry so it didn't really bother me nor was it something I spend much time dwelling on. Last weekend I was up camping on an annual father-son trip we do with some other guys and I began thinking about this no watch situation. One day while the boys were playing soccer the dad's were sitting abound and I asked if anyone knew the time. There were about 8 of us around the campsite and the response was unanimous, "my phone is in the car."
At that moment it hit me, how many people use their smartphone or cellphone as their timepiece. We all know our fearless leader CrackBerry Kevin is a huge (like huge ... HUGE) watch fan. While chatting on the phone with Kevin he admitted that his watch is jewelry and he uses his BlackBerry to tell him the time.
So we're interested in what the CrackBerry Nation has to say. Do you wear a watch, and if you do is it to tell you the time or is it just a piece of jewelry? Cast your vote and let us know, then sound off in the comments!

CrackBerry Asks: Do you send more voice notes or photos in BBM?
BlackBerry 10 has come a long way since we first got our hands on it. Many of the burning issues and gripes we had at the start have since been fixed, leaving little room to complain. It's only when I start really getting nitpick that I can find things that still irk me within the BlackBerry 10 OS. Last night I was sending a few photos over BBM and noticed that when hitting the attach...
CrackBerry Asks: Do you use the BlackBerry Hub icon?
Last week as I gathered some homescreen shots from the Crack Team, I was surprised to see that a few actually had the BlackBerry Hub icon in use — something I never do. The icon has been around for a while now as another (perhaps easier?) way to access the BlackBerry Hub without having to swipe into it. I've gotten so used to the gesture however that I don't see the need for the icon to...
CrackBerry Asks: Would you want a dark-themed Hub?
The dark theme / light theme debate has been ongoing for quite a while. As soon as the BlackBerry Q10 was released, Z10 owners were screaming to get some dark theme action as well. Then when an OS update took the dark theme away, Q10 users yelled that they wanted it back. So ultimately BlackBerry made the choice to give users the option to choose between the light or dark theme in apps...
CrackBerry Asks: Do you still use your BlackBerry PlayBook?
Looking back to when BlackBerry released their first tablet, the PlayBook, seems an age ago now. When BlackBerry 10 came to the market PlayBook users were looking forward to the new OS running on their PlayBook's as promised by the company themselves. Unfortunately, things changed and getting BlackBerry 10 onto the tablet never panned out. I don't mean to sound negative in any...
