Get Used to Wearing a Watch
Often times when people start wearing a watch, they are not used to it, and feel awkward and have no confidence. Watches can be useful for telling the time, and in some cases, the date too.

Steps
- Pick something that you like. You don't want anything too sharp, tight, or loose. You should like the way it looks and it should feel comfortable. It should be waterproof and somewhat durable too. For the band, metal is the fanciest but it's also usually heavy and fragile; for more casual use, you can have a nylon Velcro fast-strap or a leather band, but never plastic, as it can easily snap and does not absorb sweat, causing the inside to be really sweaty.
- Ignore it. Don't constantly fiddle with or take it off. Just act like it's not there and you will forget it's there. How long will it take to get used to the watch?
- Wearing it with a shirt makes it easier. If you have a shirt or something down over your wrist, you may be less likely to notice the watch as much.
- Wear it as much as possible. A widely accepted rule of thumb is that the more you wear something, the faster you will get used to it.
- Most importantly, enjoy wearing it
Tips
- If you wear it more than 50% of the time, you will start to always feel like you need to know the time and deprived when you don't, and also, your wrist will feel naked without it.
- Take good care of it.
- Clean it often.
- Periodically fine-tune it to be at the exact time. You can use time.gov as a basis.
Warnings
- Make sure you don't lose your watch.
- Don't let the face get scratched by going to sleep with it, playing rough sports or activities.
- Wear it at home but remember to remove it before you shower unless you have a water-resistant watch.
