I found the opposite to be true: Like you, I used to think I didn't need a watch when I always had my cell phone. Then I started wearing a smartwatch for other reasons (activity tracking) and I realized just how much I missed having the time accessible right on my wrist. It's hard to imagine if you haven't experienced it recently but the difference between 1) fishing in your pocket, pulling out your phone, hitting the button, looking at the time then putting it back, and 2) turning your wrist 45 degrees is enormous. I can look at the time even when I have both my hands full, I can check when it's raining without getting my phone wet, I can start a timer without unlocking my phone and hunting for the Clock app... it's really been an eye-opener for how much better a watch is than a phone.
