/fa/ - Fashion

The last time I wore a wristwatch, I was still in elementary school. I mostly stopped wearing it because it was uncomfortable, but I also didn't like how the black kids would constantly ask me if I "had the time," despite there being large format wall clocks in every single classroom and hallway. When I started high school, I got my first cell phone and the watch went straight into my junk drawer.

I am now 33 years old and reevaluating my EDC. As my smartphone has increased in size, I've found that a lot of times it can be pretty hard to extract it from my pocket just to check the time. Sometimes, also, I would rather not show off a $400 smartphone in public (again, this is 100% because of black people).

What is your rationale for wearing an archaic piece of technology on your wrist that is duplicated in your smartphone's basic functions? Pic somewhat related. I sometimes get the feeling that people who wear watches in 2019 must have deviated somewhere alone the correct path of human evolution.
