It seems the wristwatch is going the way of the sundial. Millenials aren’t wearing watches because they have cell phones to help them tell the time.
I remember my mother wore a wristwatch on a chain around her neck because she was allergic to the metal in the watchband. (I wonder why she didn’t get a leather band?)
Do you still wear a wristwatch? Katie Couric, in her “Notebook,” said she still does. I certainly do. Even though I have cell phone on me at all times, I figure it’s more convenient to just glance at my wrist to see the time, instead of pulling out my cell phone.
Of course, some enterprising people now have come up with a wristwatch cell phone. All in one. So now you can have it all.
Do you wear a wristwatch? Or do you check the time on your cell phone?
