I gave up watches decades ago.

I'd rather wear a watch than be tethered to a phone.
It's just too easy to ignore people that are right in front of you when you have easy access to a "cool" phone.

(Plus there's the cool factor of pocket-watches; I lost mine in a move — maybe I should get a new one…)

I have my grandfather’s silver pocket watch made by Illinois....used to be a very accurate watch with good resolution on the dial and second hand. However, the speed adjustment inside is max to the fastest time and it’s still slow. I guess the spring is worn out. I’d get it fixed if there were some who could fix it, but most jewelers today can’t really do that kind of work, or don’t want to.
