What is your watch preference?

Nursing student here! Just wondering what those of you with more clinical experience prefer for your watch. Wrist watch? Lapel watch? Military time on it? Glow in the dark? Etc... And since scrubs aren't always the most stylish things in the world, are there any sites for practical watches you use to add a little flare and style? Thanks for the input guys :)

G shock! Very affordable on amazon. Digital, shows seconds. Keeps military time. Attractive but understated. I love gshock! I have a white baby G.

My first watch I used through Cna and Lvn school was also nice although it was much less expensive. It was not digital, but it had military time numbers listed on the face below the regular hours. It was plastic/ rubber and easier to sanitize than the g shock because it had less crevices.

I'm on my second timex. White leather band, glows in the dark. Make sure you always have 3 hands on you watch and it's easy to clean.

No digital! Ever.

3 hands always.

I have had quite a few..from Timex with the glow to Tinkerbell..to some flashy water resistant ones from sears during their Christmas sales :)

School likely wants you to have anything but a digital watch. Check walmart too..they alwyas have the funky colors and clearance for something a bit out of the ordinary.

Holly lynn, I was scared to transition to digital also. But I found a digital watch that displays seconds. I've learned to use it. (-:

Got a cheap ($30 or so) Timex from Target in aqua. Has a led light up button, keeps military time, displays seconds and the date. Also has a timer. Love it.

Watch ? I haven't worn a watch in at least 10 years, probably more.We use the wall clock if we need .

Good but it isn't allowed even in CNA classes where I taught.

We were required to have analog water resistant watches in school. Digital was not an option.

Agreed Muser69. I don't wear a watch either!

Nursemates white nighttime watch with military & analog time and glow in the dark button, which works well for my 12 hr night shifts. I've had 3 nurse mates watches since I first started my nursing journey.
