“If you want a superior time piece, get an unobtrusive Omega.”
Watches are obsolete because of smartphones.
And tablets and smart watches.

Until the batteries run out - which always seems to happen at the worst possible time.
Have an Omega Seamaster that I have worn pretty much every day for the last several decades.
It has led a very hard and active life all over the world.
It has spent a lot of time under the water, on the water , in the air, in the gym , on my arm running and working in the field working under really harsh, high vibration and shock conditions.
It has taken a real beating and it's still in great condition. I have rarely had to wind it.
On the other hand I seem to go through several iPhones a year with periodic and very expensive screen replacements.
Tried an iWatch on my other arm because everyone said I should and it lasted about three months. I'm looking forward to seeing if I have better luck with the new Tesla but my Omega is off to the factory for major overhaul .
Not only do I plan on keeping it, I plan on being buried with it unless my son wants it bad enough.
I wear a wristwatch because I don’t carry a phone everywhere. For about $20 I can get a Casio or a Timex that will last at least a few years. Before I retired I’d usually break them by then, but my current watch has actually lasted long enough to need its battery replaced.
No, they aren’t! Some Gen Z boys are actually interested in having nice and/or funny watches and wear and collect them them.
Nah. Sometimes you don't want to have to dig for your phone just to see what time it is. But more importantly, some of work in places where having a smart phone with you is either a bad idea or is prohibited.
Actually - Watches are back in because they CAN monitor heart rate and other biometric measures !
