On the Watch....

So a little while ago, I wrote this post on the subject of whether or not people still wear watches.

It looks like I'm not the only one weighing in on the subject.  I found three other posts on the matter.  I know that, in the world of blogging, if I know of three blog posts on a subject existing, there must be at least another 100 of which I'm not aware.

Anyhow.  What are your thoughts?  Love the watch?  Can't live without it?  Forgot it exists?  Is it already obsolete in your book?  It seems like there's room for a discussion.

As I stated earlier - I love my watch.  I will go down with the ship that is my watch.  I might be the last person walking around with a distinctive watch tan line.  I will wear it proudly.

Do People Still Wear Watches?

I hear this is a big debate out there.

There are some people who feel watches are very old-school (archaic, if you will) - that our generation doesn't (or shouldn't) wear them; only those who do things such as use phonebooks and read newspapers wear watches. The general presumption is every has a cellphone, therefore, he or she could check the time on that instead.

I don't know. I, of course, have a phone, but I wear a watch anyway. I like it. I'm used to it. I don't plan on changing it any time soon. It's quicker to look at one's wrist than it is to pull out one's phone. There's probably the argument that looking at one's phone is more discreet way of doing things; one doesn't know if one is checking to see if she has a text, etc. (although, some could say - no less rude).

Anyhow. I like my watch. It's a beauty like the one above. I don't plan on giving it up any time soon. I don't plan on giving up newspapers either. Am I just old fashioned? Any other watch enthusiasts out there? Are watches getting phased out? Your thoughts?
