So why bother with a wrist watch when everything is conveniently taken care of in one package?
Here are a few reasons:
1. Convenience: Believe it or not, using a wrist watch to check the time is much more convenient than flipping out your cell phone. The simple action of looking at your wrist as opposed to fishing out your cell phone from your cluttered purse or stuffed pockets is substantially easier, especially if you’re in a rush. Plus, it’s substantially more difficult to get your cell phone fixed as opposed to finding a shop that offers say Rolex watch repair.
2. Efficiency: Checking the time on your watch saves you the trouble of locating your cell phone, not to mention mitigating the strong possibility of getting distracted from all of the applications and operations that are available on your cell phone.
3. Style: A wrist watch can be that final touch to your ensemble, that little extra something that could mean the difference between adequate and breathtaking. In the case of most formal functions, cell phones are only taken out to receive calls of import and that Rolex shining on your wrist would be much more appropriate for the occasion.
