I notice there are increasingly more people around me (especially men) that do not wear a watch. They use their mobile phone to tell time. I wonder if the overall demand for watches have declined significantly since mobile phone becomes a necessity for many people? Will watches become obsolete/irrelevant in time to come, like what happened to pocket watches? A pure accessory which one wears only for special occasions, or pure tool used only for certain sports or expedition?

Watch is here to stay as a fashion accessory and a convenient way to tell time.
Wrist watch evolved from pocket watch as a faster way to tell time.
One flick of wrist and you know. Much more convenient than taking out from pocket.
Phone serves the same time telling function but its like a pocket watch.
More movements just to tell time.Audemars Piguet Ball Bell&Ross Cartier IWC Longines Omega Panerai Rolex Sinn Tissot
Alba Casio Citizen Roox Seiko
Wanted to add PP but bo lui

if that said individual was never a watch-type of person, then he will be one of the most likely turn to mobile phones to tell the time since the rise of the digital age.
but for watch enthusiasts, watches never go out of fashion, and always necessary."Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."

I think this is how I behave - out of 10 times when I want to know the time,
- 3 times I would look at my phone
- 2 times I would look at the computer screen
- 2 times I would look at the clock in my car
- 2 times I would look at clocks in my house or around me, including the starhub set-top box
The 1 time I actually look at my watch, is mainly to admire it.Watches are like potato chips - You never stop at one
