The Return of the Pocket Watch
I have been on the search for the perfect watch for a LONG time now. You can see my frustration here:
Mike and I were talking about why watches have become completely useless pieces of jewelry instead of beautiful AND helpful timepieces. He nailed it right on the head,
“It’s because cellphones have replaced watches for most people.â€
He’s right. I’ve seen the nervous habit of the youth in my area: the constant checking of the cellphone. When he said that, I realized that they are probably checking the time, not for messages. Cellphones are perfect for timekeeping. They tell the time, date, month and day of the week. They also tell you where your friends are and how to find them if you use services like Dodgeball.
The cellphone has sparked the return of the pocket watch.
No wonder I can’t find a good wrist watch to save my life…
