In the end, I guess it comes down to how acceptable a real watch is as compared to a smartwatch in your social setting. For instance, I wouldn't be caught dead with a smartwatch when visiting customers (mostly real estate companies who I write software for) the same way I wouldn't be caught wearing a mankini. I also would not be caught without a timepiece, simply because it appears unprofessional. I do think the kind (or lack of)of watch a person wears says something about them, much like the kind of clothing does - and I share that kind of sentiment with a lot of people.
