Aren't watches (also) amazing pieces of jewellery?

  I see what you're saying and I'm not trying to come across like some kind of luddite (I likes me tech I tells ya) but I only want the jewellery I have on me to have aesthetic function only. Even the incredibly handy function of telling the time is one function too many. And smartwatches? I don't get them. Don't you need your smartphone nearby, don't they work over bluetooth? So if your phone is in your pocket or somewhere nearby then aren't you paying an awful lot of money for a few seconds of convenience? If they work over wifi or cellular data that's another story of course.

    But you can pretty much ignore the time-telling functionality (I guess that's what most people do, anyway) and still retain the aesthetical value. Of course, watches might not be your thing, but it just sounded a little strange - do you value jewellery and its aesthetical value only until they have some sort of functionality? P.S. I don't get smartwatches, too. At least, in their current incarnation(s).
