From pocket watches to cellphones
For a while now, with the rise of smart watches, I’ve seen several people claiming that those who “still” wear a watch are too lazy to simply get their phones out of their pockets. That’s simply not the case.
I wear a watch on my wrist. I enjoy my watch. The right models on the right people can be quite stylish, and I like how they look. It’s also more convenient when I actually want to know the time.
The funny thing is, wristwatches became popular in the early 20th century as people were tired of having to fish in their coats to find their pocket watch. The transition from one to the other was quick, and so very few people still use pocket watches nowadays.
If you call me weird for wearing a watch, then I totally feel justified in calling you archaic for needing to pull a device from your pocket only to tell the time.
