× No I don't wear a watch because when I was a kid I used to wear some watches and my hand got some sensitivity reactions.
✓ No, I don't wear a watch because when I was a kid I used to wear some watches and my hand got some sensitive reactions.
The phrase 'sensitivity reactions' is incorrect; the adjective 'sensitive' should be used to describe the reactions. 'Sensitivity' is a noun, but here an adjective is needed to modify 'reactions'.
× That's why I hated wearing watches since then.
✓ That's why I have hated wearing watches since then.
The phrase 'since then' requires the present perfect tense to indicate an action continuing from the past to the present. Using 'hated' (simple past) is incorrect here; 'have hated' is appropriate.
× Yes, I've received many watches as gifts from my beloved ones.
✓ Yes, I've received many watches as gifts from my loved ones.
The phrase 'beloved ones' is not commonly used in this context; 'loved ones' is the correct expression to refer to close family or friends.
× However, I did not wear many of them.
✓ However, I have not worn many of them.
Since the action relates to the present experience, the present perfect tense 'have not worn' is more appropriate than the simple past 'did not wear'.
× I give them to some family members.
✓ I give them to some family members.
This sentence is grammatically correct; no correction needed.
× Some people think it is so prestigious to wear an expensive watch and it can indicate to other people how high class or rich they are.
✓ Some people think it is prestigious to wear an expensive watch and it can indicate to other people how high-class or rich they are.
The phrase 'so prestigious' is informal and unnecessary; 'prestigious' alone suffices. Also, 'high class' should be hyphenated as 'high-class' when used as an adjective.
× Speaking about myself, I don't find it necessary to wear a watch because I have sensitive skin and my skin can develop irritation or some kind of allergies towards the watch and I can also know time from the cell phone.
✓ Speaking about myself, I don't find it necessary to wear a watch because I have sensitive skin and my skin can develop irritation or some kind of allergy from the watch, and I can also tell the time from my cell phone.
The phrase 'allergies towards the watch' is incorrect; 'allergy from the watch' is better. Also, 'know time' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'tell the time'. Additionally, 'some kind of allergies' should be singular 'some kind of allergy' for agreement.
