    How many people wear an analog wrist watch to actually keep time anymore? It’s jewelry / a specialized tool at this point (scuba and such).

        Yes so do I. And how many of our friends/colleagues wear an analog wrist watch daily to check the time?

        My dad and my father in law are probably the only two people i know who regularly wear them.

      I used to have one, but now I set my phone clock to be displayed as an analogue clock so that kind of made it obsolete, since it now has all the benefits of an analogue display with the additional advantage of automatically syncing time and adjusting for time zones and daylight saving time.

      Depends for me. In my casual day to day I don’t but when I had a lot of appointments to meet I find it quicker to check the time on my wrist than bu fumbling for my smartphone in my pocket, something that is probably even more true for women if they store their phone in a small bag due to lack of pockets.

      Also, sometimes I like leaving my phone at home because I have unfortunately developed the tendency to give it a short glance whenever I have downtime. If I still need to know the time I can still wear a wristwatch.
