I feel the same way. My watch is a solar powered waterproof (200m) chunk of titanium and sapphire with a radio inside that sets itself every night. It is practically indestructible. It will run the rest of my life. I will never have to set it. I will never have to remove from my wrist (barring an MRI or some other fringe context).
It's also beautiful. It's the only thing I wear, other than my wedding ring, that could be considered jewelry. I'm going to give it to my son some day. And at that moment, perhaps 40-60 years from now, it will still be a functional work of art.
I look at smart watches vs. dumb watches and just think it's a bunch of total nonsense. Eventually, yes, they will likely get their, but it's going to 50-something years from now when it's cheaper to put a super computer in something than it is to leave it out.
