I cannot understand the need for people people to wear 'fashion jewelry,' but engineering keepsakes in the shape of watches blurs the line to the point that I suppose could consider it.
However why does one actually need a watch? The last analogue watch that I had was in the early 80s, and after it it stopped in the late 80s I soon became adept at knowing the time from observation of other peoples watches, on-street displays etc. I have toyed with several digital wearables that added fitness features, but reliability issues have resulted in them joining the pile of failed technology that litters the house.
With the coming of cell phones, time awareness has become almost universal and should render the need for a timepiece redundant. However I look around the house and still find multiple displays of time, ranging from an old analogue quartz kitchen clock to an 'Alexa'. Lets not mention the oven clock which is always wrong, (resetting is always problematic), and multiple devices which incidentally always display accurate network derived times.
I suppose I should quit rambling,and go back to my hoard of old (and new) ageing technology - each to their own:)
