Kind of a random shower thought I had tonight, but it's been a slow day on the board.
Growing up in the pre-smartphone era, I always wore watches for obvious reasons (like, you needed to know the time). Had a cool Casio calculator/world time watch in middle school. Had some generic Seiko or equivalents during most of the 2000s.
On my way home from the Tulane road game in 2010, my watch got lost going through TSA at the airport. In the pre-smartphone era, you didn't always carry your phone everywhere, but by this time, 2010, I always did and realized the watch I always used to wear wasn't really necessary anymore. So I stopped wearing a watch. Didn't really care about the "fashion" element of watch wearing, just the practicality.
I know people are getting into smart watches now, fitness trackers, etc.
Lol, just kind of curious.
