I'm 32. A lot of people my age growing up simply used their cellphones and didn't see the need for a watch. Until 3 years ago I hadn't owned a watch since I was about 12. I now own a quartz watch and two mechanical automatics, and have my eye on a couple of others.
Most of the people I know don't know anything about watches, don't care, and just wear something that looks nice to them. A lot of them think Fossil is a great brand. Some just grab a cheap Casio/Timex and when the battery needs to be changed they throw it away and buy a new watch. However I do have a couple of friends that are really into watches and only buy mechanical.
I was at a wedding the other weekend and was pleasantly surprised to see practically the whole under-30 crowd sporting some kind of wristwatch.
