As if you could kill time without injuring eternity. ~ Henry David Thoreau
I'm fed up with people saying they are going to stop wearing wrist watches just because they can always tell time from their phones. The way I see it wrist watches were invented as an alternative to the pocket watch so people could tell the hour just by looking at their wrist, without having to dig into their pockets. The pocket search is further complicated when any one of the following variables is in effect: a) tight pants, b) overcoats in cold weather, c) proliferation of pocket goods (e.g. keys, candy, etc.).
The invention of the wrist watch is analogous to the new technology of the keyless entry and ignition. This key was invented to help people avoid the trouble, and occasional injury, of always reaching into your pocket and exposing your cuticles to the harsh materials. Ironically, by abandoning the wrist watch and reaching for the cell phone, people are literally rejecting science and technology.

Well said, couldn't agree more. Have you any thoughts on the magnitude of many new men's watches out there? I think some of them are actually sun dials, furthering your argument of time-related regression.
Nice Information and thanks for sharing this information. I am agree with you that when wrist mobile phones are coming wrist watches craze is down. But i love wrist watches most and i also prefer titan watches because it's durability and it's nice and beautiful look.
Using a wristwatch while you have a phone in your pocket is overkill. If I didn't have a phone i wouldn't hesitate to use a wristwatch. But because I have a pocket watch thats already in my pocket, why would i wear a watch too? watches also can cause rashes on the wrist, they must be worried about if playing sports or going swimming. Even if your walking around the office you will occasionally clang it into something. My cell phone always tells me the correct time, if i just got off a plane i dont have to change the time, its automatic. The alarm on my cell phone is loud enough to wake me up, unlike the alarm on my wristwatch. I'll stick with my cell phone thank you very much.
Cell phone clocks are gay Charlie.
Charlie doesn't know what he's talking about.
Sun dial watches are a great example of technological regression.
I'm glad that World Amazing Wallpapers chimed in on this forum. Good to see that we're getting the message out there.
