Winding my watch and setting/checking the time is a morning ritual. It also helps me set my own inner clock. Usually I know what time my watch says before I look at it.
Likewise a timer. The motion of the hands gives much better sense of the movement of time than numbers changing on a digital readout, and a screen rendition of hands moving is so clearly an illusion, my subconscious regards it as a fantasy.

I've got, on my hand right now, a $15 casio that was purchased in 2011 and it is still on its first battery. OTOH, for dress matches, it annoys me no end that when I open my watch drawer and pick a quartz watch (whether digital or not) and find that the battery is dead and I cannot use it for that specific occasion. At least with the mechanicals I can wind it there and then, set the time and use it.
