× Yes, I actually wear watch whenever I go out of the house because I feel safe whenever I'm aware what time it is of the day
✓ Yes, I actually wear a watch whenever I go out of the house because I feel safe when I'm aware of what time it is.
Missing definite/indefinite article before singular count noun 'watch' and awkward phrasing 'aware what time it is of the day'. Use 'a watch' for one item and 'aware of what time it is' or simply 'know the time' for correct idiomatic structure.
× Yes, I have received watch as a gift from my aunt.
✓ Yes, I received a watch as a gift from my aunt.
Missing article 'a' before the singular count noun 'watch'. Also 'have received' is acceptable but simple past 'received' fits the story about a past event; keep tense consistent with following clause 'when I was a kid'.
× I think when I was a kid, it was during Christmas and at first I didn't really liked it because I was a kid I didn't know that watch are and essential to your daily life.
✓ I think it was during Christmas when I was a kid, and at first I didn't really like it because I didn't know that watches are essential to daily life.
Several tense and agreement issues: 'didn't really liked' is incorrect because auxiliary 'did' requires base verb 'like' (past simple: 'didn't like'). Word order and redundancy fixed by moving 'when I was a kid'. 'watch are' needs plural 'watches are'. Also remove unnecessary 'a' before 'essential' and simplify 'your daily life' to 'daily life' to sound natural.
× I think it's because they simply can't afford it.
✓ I think it's because they can afford it and want to show status.
Original sentence's meaning is likely incorrect: 'they simply can't afford it' contradicts wearing expensive watches. Rather than a pure grammar error, this is a content/logic issue; if student meant they can afford it, correct to 'can afford'. If the intended idea was different, rephrase. Provided corrected sentence aligns subject and verb and clarifies meaning.
× People often splurge on jewellery, clothing and other people can buy expensive watch and use it on a daily basis.
✓ People often splurge on jewellery and clothing, and some people buy expensive watches and use them on a daily basis.
Run-on sentence and missing articles/plural forms: 'other people can buy expensive watch' needs restructuring. Use comma plus conjunction, 'some people' clarifies, 'watches' plural and pronoun 'them' to refer back to watches for correct agreement.
× And I think watches are practical, so it would be a great purchase.
✓ And I think watches are practical, so they are a good purchase.
Minor inconsistency in pronoun reference: 'it would be a great purchase' is vague after plural 'watches'. Use 'they are a good purchase' to match plural subject. Also 'great' fine but 'good' is more natural here.
× Yes, it's very important to wear a watch regardless of it being traditional or the digital one because it makes you aware of the time and it just gives you reassurance to know the time of the day.
✓ Yes, it's very important to wear a watch, whether it is traditional or digital, because it makes you aware of the time and gives you reassurance.
Awkward article and phrase use: 'regardless of it being traditional or the digital one' is unnatural. Use 'whether it is traditional or digital'. 'It just gives you reassurance to know the time of the day' is wordy; simplify to 'gives you reassurance' or 'helps you know the time'. Also remove redundant 'the' before 'digital' and redundant 'the time of the day' replaced by 'the time'.
