Sample Answers

How often do you wear a watch? Honestly, I don't wear a watch very often. I usually just use my phone to check the time. But I do wear a watch on special occasions like weddings or formal events. It's just a nice way to add a touch of elegance to my outfit.

What was your first watch like? My first watch was a simple digital watch that my parents gave me when I was a kid. It was a basic Casio watch with a black strap and a red face. I remember being really excited to wear it to school and show it off to my friends.

What kinds of watches do you like to wear? I'm a big fan of leather-strapped watches. I think they add a touch of sophistication to any outfit. I've got a few different ones in my collection, but my favorite is a brown leather-strapped watch with a silver face. It's just a classic look that never goes out of style.

Do people still wear watches in your country? Yeah, some people still wear watches, but it's not as common as it used to be. With smartphones being so prevalent, a lot of people just use their phone to check the time. But there's still a niche group of people who appreciate the style and craftsmanship of a good watch.
