    they've never really been "watch" people.

This saddens me because watches have more aesthetic viability than phones ever will, tbh. That's 1/2 the reason I have that pocketwatch - it's cool looking, in a way that I don't think phones are. All those little parts moving together. And you can see them all! And it could last multiple generations, if I take good care of it. Can't say the same for the phone market.

My wife tried to buy me a pocketwatch. She bought her first husband one. I appreciate them as fetish objects but they lack the utility I need in my life.

That's something about the iWatch- I need to be able to tell time, with polarized sunglasses on, in broad daylight. "Hands" have an advantage there.
