A friend once mused that “wearing a watch is like being handcuffed to time.” It’s one of the reasons I stopped being a watch guy (but more because I checked it compulsively but didn’t know what time it was when a coworker saw me check and ask the time).

Anyway, I prefer to try not to keep track of the time unless I need to be somewhere.

If you want to go the middle way, you could consider a one-hand watch.
