watches are fashion not function.

see any swatch.

see fossil

see cartier

IF this is rea, it is a “chick magnet” as much as a calculator watch...

Except, this is from Apple, so chicks will automatically think it is trendy and cool.

My father in law is a watchmaker. Has been for 65 years. I have a vast collection of watches. Pocket watches, self winders, solar powered, you-name-it.

I never wear any of them...except for fancy dress occasions....i.e....fashion.

The reason? I ain't no fashion bug and I have clocks that surround me 24x7;
I have 3 computers at work and each has a clock. I have 3 computers at home and each has a clock. Every room in my house has at least one...some have multiples. The kitchen stove has a clock, the microwave has one. In the living room, the TV has one, the cable box has one, the DVD player has one. In the bedroom there are two alarm clocks.

In my shop in the basement there are three clocks.
My cell phone has a clock and the dashboard in my car has one.

Why would I need a watch?

My $40 Casio is a purely functional wristwatch. I don't have a cellphone.

Still, if this thing is more than vapourware, I'd get one just for the coolness of having a Dick Tracy TV watch. It's about time. What can I say? I'm a nerd at heart.
