A watch is not for everyone i know that. I have worn one for 50 years, the only time I do not is showering, or at a primitive gathering.
To me a watch is both a necessity and a pleasure. I am very, my wife says anal, about time, especially being on time. I was taught not being on time is very rude, you are telling someone thier time is not valuable as yours. Right or wrong that is what I was taught.
Looking at my phone to see the time is a waste of time and energy when I just have to glance at my wrist. I gave to retrieve my phone from the case on my belt and return it just to check the time, no thanks. Hell whenever I can I ditch the phone, hate carrying it. Thst goes back to my beeper and work phone days
Second, pleasure, I like the looks of a watch, thrley make me smile, especially like certain styles. I am big on dive watches, coin edged bezels, cushion and barrel cases and rice bead bracelets. I tend to, when home, change watches several times a day, depending on mood and task at hand. Yesterday when we took daughter to dinner I wore a bright orange faced , because I was happy and love the color. This morning am wearing a Timex field watch because I am working outside and its a cheap beater.
