I always find it funny when people call watches jewelry as if they aren’t still the most convenient way to tell time and do other things.

Sure you can reach into whatever pile of lint and pull out a phone to check the time but by then I will have already set the timer on mine. It’s faster to the draw 🤷🏽‍♂️

Then what if you work a job with long hours? Are you supposed to take your smart watch off to charge it?!

Lastly to help me better appreciate the mechanical mastery that is a good time piece, I changed the font on my Home Screen to unreadable so I have to check my watch rather than my phone. It helps me disconnect from digital and value time more.

Just my two cents. P.S I’m roasting coffee here which is extremely time sensitive and happens super fast.

      Ever heard of racing, diving, piloting, navigating or cooking? I would use my smart watch but it’s dead….

        I have. People have come up with diving computers, smartwatches, or even just digital watches for those.

        An exception there however is racing: I still see, believe it or not, Tag Heuer watches being used in racing
