Less and Less People Wearing Watches These Days?

[Ed Rooney]

I think back to when I was a kid. I had a watch for maybe the last 6 months of high school. Back then most kids didn't wear one, and that was in the Swatch days. I think a lot of people will go back to watches, but they will be fashion items. Folks will have either nicer watches, or digitals.

Cell phones are the most impractical timepieces. They aren't water resistant, they depend on too much to work properly. You have to remove them from their pocket or holster, then press at least one button. I rarely use mine for the time.

My wife and I didn't wear them for years, but I find they're absolutely essential in our daily life with kids. Being able to check the time in a meeting without looking disrespectful is also helpful.
