My phone tells me the time and can communicate with people, lets me access the Internet, and has games. And it doesn't evenb irritate the shit out of me when I need to type on a keyboard.

There is something special about a watch (especially a mechanical one) that a phone can't fulfill. It's a tiny machine operated by gears and that's just so amazing. When you get a watch where you can see the movement it just ticks the right boxes. And there are some really beautiful, amazing watches which don't require selling your house.

Which unfortunately means every time you pull it out you can get on lemmy, if you have a new email you can read and reply to it, you can play a quick bullet game of chess... Etc etc. Phones are great, but they are also finely tuned distraction boxes.

I'm trying to wear my watch more.

I cant remember the last time I wore a watch, either.
