I have a skagen with which I'm very pleased... except that I have to remove it to type...

which is frequently.

Is there a still need for a watch when we have one in cellphones? I always wonder this. (Except perhaps as a piece of jewelery for men)

You can be more discreet when glancing at a watch than a phone - and it's still that much easier to look at one's wrist than having to take a device out of a pocket.

I use one with a cloth band that's snug enough to keep it from sliding down; the cloth makes it sufficiently comfortable when a bit snug.

It's also small and very modest in scope, just an analog hours and minutes hands display (yes, I'm old fashioned).

The Rado Ceramica and Movado Valor watches are the least obtrusive watches I own. Both have the added benefit of being extremely durable (I'm tough on watches). They still get in the way a bit, though.

Maybe you need a ring watch. This one is interesting... http://www.nova68.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&...

But I'd prefer the Pooh watch... http://www.whattimeizit.com/servlet/the-1/winnie-the-pooh-ri...
