Wristwatches were invented because constantly pulling it out from a pocket is cumbersome and needs a free hand. And at least I don't carry my phone everywhere.

Wristwatches were invented because constantly pulling it out from a pocket is cumbersome and needs a free hand. And at least I don't carry my phone everywhere. If you are fine with a smartphone then that's great, but for me the only true wristwatch replacement would be normal-looking smartglasses that actually aren't too smart and have a long battery life. Or in other words, there is no replacement.

- mod 4y agoNot trying to correct, just to be helpful: I find personally that some watches are extremely uncomfortable, and some I barely feel. The small, thin watches that don't get hung up on clothing etc work well for me. Timex weekender, and Casio F91W-1. Of course, they have pretty limited utility. Time & alarm. All the bigger, nicer watches I've tried are uncomfortable, and that's coming from someone who wears a watch basically every day. Bands can matter a lot, as well. I have a very small "tightness" range where it's tight enough not to slide around, but not so tight that it hurts at all. The bands with a bunch of holes in them sometimes don't have a hole where I need it.
