Two-Thirds of People Read Time From Cell Phones Over Watches

In an ongoing Gizmodo poll, it appears that nearly two-thirds of people prefer to check the current time on their cell phone rather than on a conventional wristwatch.

The poll, at the time of this post, is showing that 64.7% of people look up the time on their phones, compared to just 31.0% of people who still use a wristwatch. The missing option from this poll are people who use both.

The Gizmodo poll also revealed 28% of their (savvy) readers used iPhones. [via Mobile Mag]
