This depends on the industry you're in. When I was in a sales floor, everyone had a nice watch. They were considered status symbols and proof of your skill as a salesman. When I went to my first tech conference I noticed most people had either no watch, or a digital one that didn't seem expensive. Also, now that I'm away from sales, I either sold or stored every watch I own. When I want to know the time, I just look at my cell phone. Atomic time is good enough for me.
