I love my big heavy metal watches. I have a couple of lower priced "high end" ones (ie. a "luxury" brand but in the $1500 range) and love them. They are single purpose (well dual if you count time and date), not Internet anything, and they're big and heavy. To make it even "worse" is that they are mechanical; they keep worse time than a $50 quartz watch and you have to send them in for maintenance (to the factory) every 5ish years at about $300 a pop.
You'll be hard pressed to get me to get rid of them. If anything, I'm looking for more.
I am tempted by some sort of smart watch though. I have a cheap fitness band (Mi Band 1s) for basic fitness and sleep monitoring which I like. My brother loves his Apple Watch and I know of a couple of people with Pebbles who like them. My issue is that I'm not sure I need all the functionality. I have very few meetings and I already get desktop reminders of them, I don't text, email notifications are fine, but the vast majority of the time I'm at my desk, so I see them anyway. So while I kind of want one, it's more for the geek factor and the play around with it type of thing.
So I just go back to drooling over the $10,000 watches I'd love to get.
