    if you blatantly are wearing a watch then you may as well tell them just sigh in a "geez dude get a fething watch why don't you?" kind of way then tell them the time and walk of

    My husband always says "It's a quarter past half to."

    I look at my other wrist, and tell them that I'm dreadfully sorry, but I don't seem to be wearing my watch right now. I then start a conversation with somebody else, and talk incredibly loudly until the time-asker goes away.

    I wouldn't refuse to tell them the time. That's just selfish...

    I hold out my arm and stare them in the eyes until they look at my watch for themselves and leave me alone. I only do that with people I know though, semi-jokingly. If a stranger asks, I tell them. Nothing wrong with manners.

    True story of me and someone I know

    Can you tell me the time?
    *looks at watch* No... sorry. I don't have a watch.
    But there's one on yo-
    No there isn't. Good day.

    People I know know that I always wear my watch (dubbed "the bling"), but when they ask me what time it is I just stare at it blankly for a few seconds and then come back at them with a change of topic, like "Did you see (show) the other night?" or "Hey, did you hear about (event)?"

    If it's a random person or a person that I don't know but hasn't ever done anything to annoy me, I'll tell them.

    I've never had that problem... Then again, I don't wear a watch.

    1. I never wear watches.
    2. I would never refuse to tell somebody the time.
    3. How hard is it to say, "Sorry, It's broken."?

    Wink This is silly.

    I don't see any reason why someone would actually refuse to tell what time it is. If someone asks me, I tell'em. As if it's too much trouple. =P

    I only tell them 'no' if it's a good friend, or a hot girl, because it irks them so much.
