Switch Between Outside and Inside

I wear a wristwatch every day when I go out.
However, I almost never look at that watch.

When I'm traveling by car, I look at the car's clock because of where my eyes are, and when I'm traveling by train, I check the time in the top left corner of my smartphone screen along with the transit app. When I'm at my computer, I look at the time display in the bottom right corner of the screen. If I ever look at my wristwatch, it's only when I'm walking.

As soon as I arrive at the office, I take off my wristwatch.
That's because I hate having any part of my body constricted.

Thinking about it, putting on a wristwatch is a ritualistic act.
For someone like me who dislikes going out, the act of putting on and taking off a wristwatch is like a switch to distinguish between the outside and the inside.

I don't need an expensive watch.
A regular G-SHOCK is enough.
All I ask for in a watch is toughness.
There is meaning in the very act of having the watch in its usual place, picking it up, and fastening it to my wrist.

I like to think that I live my life with a relatively rational mindset, but when I think about it carefully, I have irrational aspects here and there. Perhaps it is sometimes necessary to notice such duality in myself.

Today, I am commuting while wearing my usual G-SHOCK.
However, I'm thinking of trying to spend the day today without taking my watch off.
