your troglodyte tag line cracks me up.
I havn’t had a watch since the eighties when I started carrying a programmable calculator with a built in clock and alarm clock. It was an HP 48SX that I programmed to use as a phonebook and checking account balancer. I made a case for it that merged with my checkbook.
Then came pagers, cell phones, PDAs, and laptops. all of which had built in clocks. Cell phones and smart phones killed watches. Period. there is literally zero reason to wear a watch nowdays aside from bling and narcissism. everything has a clock built into it.
When I first started carrying a cell phone, I always picked out a model based on which had the best, easiest to read at a glance, clock, and the most resistant to heat and perspiration while in my shirtpocket. At the moment that happens to be the casio g’z one. I think the worst ever made by my metric was the motorola razor...although it was a perfect size and shape for a shirt pocket.
Remember the first watches used LED’s that required you to press a button to see the time. I haven’t packed a watch since my Casio Data Bank watch with the phone dialer built in, died.
Just cell phone now. I started with the first Samsung Palm powered then their flip model came along. Those died and I switched to the iPhone, never looked back. In fact I don’t even need a phone anymore I just keep it for the clock {:-)
