26 Jul The question in the title is one that might make a lot of you think of the utility of a wrist watch now, in the times where even microwave ovens have a display to show current time. The thing is that watches are the oldest method of showing the time (that was the main purpose upon creation), but they are now replaced by modern gadgets. Practically in your home you have now an endless number of devices that tell you the time: your phone, TV, VCR, computer, microwave oven, radio alarm clock and many others.
This doesn’t mean that wrist watches are obsolete, so I thought of making a list with the most important advantages of using wrist watches against things like smart-phones and other complex consumer gadgets:
- A wrist watch is stylish and is always on display for others to see it
- If you want to take a look at your smartphone display to tell the time you have to take it out of your pocket, which takes additional time, plus it’s impossible to do when your hands are full of groceries
- A wrist watch always displays the time, so you don’t lose time browsing through menus and such
- There are places where your phone can’t follow you, like the sea side, so here’s where a waterproof wrist watch takes the lead
- Wrist watches are a thing of social status, so wearing them has certain advantages, especially in business meetings
- Backup is always good to have, in case your phone is lost or gets broken. Given the fact that wrist watches don’t weight too much you won’t feel the additional weight on your shoulders.
Those are a few reasons to keep a wrist watch. Of course you might have your own, so please share them with you if you please, so everyone can know why it’s important to wear your wrist watch, despite the alternatives that lie in front of you.
