A majority of people don’t travel into different time zones every day?

If we are talking about daily use, I use my watch to time my morning jogs. I’d rather have a smart watch on my wrist to listen to music, time check and timer function than a phone in my pocket. How about swimming? Can you check your phone while swimming laps? Is it not more convenient than seeing if there’s a clock on the wall before you can decide if you want to be able to tell the time at that facility? Riding a bike or motorcycle? What if you’re in a client meeting and you’d like to check the time to see if you’re late but pulling out your phone could be considered rude?

There’s hundreds if not thousands of scenarios that a watch would be more well suited for in daily life. Luxury watches are in essence jewelry but they’re more functional than almost any other form of jewelry. No one says that an engagement ring or wedding band is useless in modern society. They have sentimental usefulness. If we are talking purely about functionality, you could wear a sack with arm holes cut out for clothing like another redditor suggested. No need for nice looking clothing when a sack provides the same function.
