Nothing’s as good as a wristwatch. It just so happens I stopped by to buy one on the way in to work this morning – my Seiko died completely, and every other watch I have either has a dead battery or broken band. Seeing what Seikos cost makes me think maybe mine was fake, although it had a continuous sweeping hand. Replaced it with something called “Armitron” because no one was at the watch-jewely counter at 6:30 am, and I guess Armitron’s just aren’t pilferable enough to lock up.
Oh, yeah, the OP:
I carry a PDA and a cellphone, and neither is as simple and elegant as just rotating your wrist a couple of degrees and there. It helps having an analogue watch, too, because you know what time it is instantly without having to read and comprehend the numbers on a digital face.
