Mechanical watches can be much more expensive and keep less accurate time.
In rare cases I've seen my MacBook Pro display stale time in the taskbar. Haven't pinned it down yet.
In both cases the balance of usefulness paid for is found elsewhere in the product.

- pbh101 11y agoSimilarly, I don't think the primary purpose/raison d'etre of the Apple Watch is to tell time. It certainly isn't what you're paying $300+ for.
- vaishaksuresh 11y agoI guess we'll have to agree to disagree then. I think it is a watch with additional functions, not something else that also works as a watch. For me, any smartwatch's primary purpose is telling time. Everything else it does is secondary. Having said that, you shouldn't buy Apple Watch for just telling time. You're better off buying regular watch for that.
