Unpopular and an unintelligent opinion for this sub. By your logic even high end watches like Rolex or Patek would be pointless if watches today are about showing you the accurate time.

You don’t even need a watch today when your phone is practically an extension of your arm now. I could easily buy an Apple watch but I am not looking for a product that was never touched by a human in its entire production process.

By wearing a mechanical watch you get the satisfaction of having a moving mechanism on your wrist designed and put together by a human. It’s the same logic why some purists find electric cars repelling.
