maybe it's helpful for you that I edit your response and show what a nonsense argument it is.
I'd have to say that does more to support the GP's point, than to refute it - Do you see a lot of people under 50 wearing watches?
Wrist watches have a tiny bit more utility than pocket watches; but once everyone had a de facto pocket watch on them at all times (aka a cell phone), most people saw no need to carry both. Wrist watches have effectively gone the way of the dodo, except for one niche purpose: Status symbols.
You only see two types of people wearing watches today - The rich (or pretenders thereof) showing off their Rolex; and the hipsters, showing off their vintage $10 Swatches to prove themselves as more Bohemian than the next guy on a fixie.
And whaddya know - Look who has adopted the iWatch.
