                     Read enough writing about watches, and you’ll often encounter reflexive acknowledgements of the perceived absurdity of the horological world.
                     <em>
                      Isn’t it funny how we’re so obsessed with these antiquated, unnecessary objects?

                     After all, the thinking goes, we all now carry around smartphones that tell the time far more accurately than any timepiece could ever hope to do. But the more I think about it, the more I feel that this notion that we don’t need watches is just lazy, cut-and-paste thinking.

                     By that same logic, we don’t need

                     If we accept that life is better when we’re not chugging Soylent, then what makes a watch any less essential than any of the other items I mentioned above? It’s the same reason we don’t couch stories about the

                     Yes, nearly everyone has a phone in their pocket, but do you know what’s more accessible than an object stowed away in your jeans? Your wrist! And there is solid evidence that people do actually use their watches rather than compulsively gawking at their phones.

                     I first had this realization while I was out one day with my eldest (new descriptor for me!) son. Despite once infamously writing a story about how

                     , I’ve recently become obsessed with making sure the time is correct on the pieces I wear. In my effort to be as present as possible for my children, actually

                     my watch grants me the superpower of not needing to look at my phone even more frequently than I already do. It’s a helpful trick that many parents employ. “I have found with kids, and not wanting to be on my phone in front of them, it’s very important to have a watch, because as soon as [the phone’s] in your hand, you’re a goner,”
                     <a style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;">

                     But you don’t have to be a parent to appreciate the mental health benefits a watch can provide. I’m writing this just before 1 p.m., and according to my iPhone, I’ve already picked it up 47 times today. Shaving off even a dozen of those instances and avoiding the sharp talons of notifications is a small but meaningful luxury. Even today’s teens, many of whom face phone bans in their classrooms, are discovering the utility of analog timepieces. “Every friend group needs one kid who has a watch. I’m the watch guy,” one ninth grader told his mom

                     As status symbols, watches also hold the edge over other wearables. Unlike sneakers, for instance, timepieces aren’t as readily affected by the

                     Watches, I’d argue, are able to absorb far more emotional weight than most inanimate objects. If your dad passes down his watch to you, you can wear it every single day and carry his spirit and love on your wrist. Try that with, say, a vintage concert gifted to you by someone important, and within weeks you’ll be left with tattered strips of cotton from too many washes. And unlike simply leaving someone money, you can
