I guess watches will remain pieces of jewelry and fashion accessories for some, but cell phones and other devices will put a dent in total watch sales, as well as for portable radios, small TVs, Walkman type devices and some others.

Generally agree although I think the term "jewelry" understates a watch's significance and I think limiting it to "for some" is incorrect. I think most people are smart to own a watch for the simple reason that it's a social norm to wear a watch when you're even moderately dressed up. That puts a watch in a different category than, say, a portable radio which has zero social significance. For whatever reason watches have gotten sucked into the conventionally agreed upon dress code, and those conventions do not change easily and are not just optional for most people.
