Why do people still buy watches? Clocks are everywhere. Mobile phone, task bar on computer, screen in car, microwave, thermostat, TV, thing to see who is at the door, IP phone, ....

So, why watches? Seems almost unrealistic that you would use it even if you wore it. So much easier to look at the clock right in front of your face (windows task bar) 8 hours a day.

Do people actually sit at their computer, roll up their sleeve, make a dramatic gesture to position their wrist in front of their face so they can check the time which was already in their screen? I don't get it..

In b4 it's jewelry phaggot. Well why not wear bracelets and rings then instead of a piece of obsolete technology?

Whenever I see someone in the current era wearing a watch I can't help but assume that person must be borderline retarded or full blown retarded. (Dead fucking serious)

i simply am not looking at my phone or my computer all day, yet still have a need to know the time.

They look cool

you are now aware people wear things that are not 100% necessary like underwear

wimp

My practical use case is that it's a lot more discreet to check your watch during a meeting than it is to pull out your phone. I also leave work to go on a walk sometimes, and I intentionally leave my phone behind to avoid the temptation of checking it instead of disconnecting for a bit, but I still need to be aware of the time for upcoming meetings.

nah just you. some people do stuff outside and like to go swimming

Watches are used to tell the time and expensive watches are used to tell what's up

>Clocks are everywhere. Mobile phone, task bar on computer, screen in car, microwave, thermostat, TV
maybe if you left the house and worked a real job like a trade you wouldn't be in close proximity to those things all the time you huge limp wristed fucking retarded gay faggot

>Trusting a third party source for your time
Absolutely plebbish.
>Also not being able to carry your own standard time with you.
Your time is worthless to you isn't it?

I just think they're neat

Perhaps for those of great groinal prowess and heavy balloons.

Kek. Fucking retard zoomer. Do you know how I can tell someone's age just by their posture? When zoomers look like the hunchback of notre dame watching social media (inevitably). For some reason, holding the phone up to your face is too "dramatic", so it sits on your lap.

i know it's hard to believe, but some people have lives, go outside, and dont stare at their phone all day

I know a zoomer who just graduated from HS and he still can't

-drive a car (his mother does it)
-rinse the sink after brushing teeth (his mother does it)
-understand how to use a dishwasher (his mother does it)
-prepare food (his mother does it)
-purchase groceries (his mother does it)
-purchase even the most trivial snacks (his mother does it)
-put away food after eating only some of it (his mother does it)
-understand the necessity of cleaning dishes (his mother does it)
-understand how to operate a laundry machine
-remember appointments (his mother takes care of that)

so it is not surprising to me in the least bit that zoomers believe watches are a silly millennial fashion affectation done for arcane virtue-signaling purposes, like those foot-things (shoes) or those head-things (hats) or those door-things (keys), it would not surprise me if everyone over 30 disappeared tomorrow, the remaining zoomers would have a mass die-off and perhaps 15-20% of them would still be alive six months later
