It seems odd to me that people bother wearing watches anymore other than to show off (e.g. a Rolex or some such).
Computers have clocks on them.
Cars have clocks in them.
Cell phones and PDAs have clocks on them.
If I'm some place where I don't have access to one of those three, I probably don't want to be bothered with what time it is anyways...
Watches can break, need battery replacements, get stolen, and leave that horribly tacky untanned band on your wrist. What a pain in the ass.
Why do YOU still wear a watch?
