Watches are Worthless in 2022? (Just my personal opinion on their value) 

I've worn a watch everyday since I was 16. I can't even imagine not wearing a watch. Also having a Garmin is just too practical in my day to day life.

I’m a dentist. Typically I see 2-3 patients an hour. Gotta keep on track. Having a watch helps a lot. Also lots of things need to be timed for different curing/setting times. Can’t take off my gloves all the time to check my phone or wake up the computer.

It’s in the dress code to wear a watch at my job. Work at a railroad. That rule has been there for decades, and has never left. They used to have a watch inspector make sure their watch ran accurately each month.

People who say "why do you need a watch?" either don't go outdoors or don't have anywhere to be. Who takes their phone on a jet ski or dirtbike?

I’m an engineer, I just love the mechanical interactions of tiny gears and springs methodically releasing their potential energy at just the right rate. They’re beautiful. Most of the time my mechanical watches aren’t even set to the right time lol

For me it's precision. The intricacy of all those gears working in concert, miniaturized to fit a wrist.

My two favourite watches are Casio 10 yr battery models & Automatic divers. You've gotta love being able to tell the time for 10yrs without servicing 👍

I’ve worn a watch everyday since I was 13 and would absolutely feel naked without a watch on.

I know exactly what you mean. The only difference is I prefer digital with the glow. I use the stopwatch constantly to time things. It also allows me to detach from my phone more often because I don't need the phone to know what time it is. And you know, a good analog watch will come in handy when all the satellites fail and the EMP strikes. Semi kidding 😜

Half my work is outside I dont want to be that guy who has to pull out his phone every time he wants to know the time

I started wearing one again to conserve my phone battery. Noticeably lasts longer now that I don’t use it as a clock and to check the date. Also I agree there’s something comforting about it being so simple. These days we get hit with sooo much in the way of advertisements and notifications. We get hit with so much multi media. It’s not natural and it’s taking a negative toll on our psyches.

"That constant... Flow of time." Pulls out a ticking quartz.

I've the same Invicta Model on Titanium... It's a great example that, good materials, good movement and presentation are not against cost

When I had my cellular phone, I stopped wearing watches because I can rely on my phone for time tracking. When got out of service, I become a nurse and it was frustrating to have no analog wrist watch. I been wearing my digital watch from basic training but recently, I have me a Seiko Diver. I feel like a child after recieving a christmas present...

That constant flow of time slowly killing us all.

I don't want to have to have my phone in my pocket at all times. I get a cheap beater watch that I can wear no matter if it's raining, I'm rolling around on the ground under a truck or a tractor, or I'm cutting/hauling wood. I've broken screens just by having my phone in my pocket, not thinking about it, and doing something. Theres good watches for great prices, so I personally dont see why someone wouldn't have a watch in 2022.

been wearing a REAL watch, every day, all day, for over half a century. I feel naked without one. once, after a too short, bad night, I left for work. halfway I noticed I forgot my watch. I turned around to get it. screw being late - better than being anxious (AND having to potentially wind the watch when I get home. yes, I like certain mechanical, autowinding Swiss watches) besides, not like I could have gotten fired, anyway... I'd never do that to myself 😉 But seriously, every time I see a "young" person (like

I've got a couple G-Shocks analog/digital watches, and the second hand is the one thing I miss every time I look at them. That, and I've worn a watch for so many decades, I feel incomplete without one.

I definitely feel you on that! For me practically it's just I'm outside adventuring alot, its the only way i can keep track of time when I'm in the Ocean, plus it's just instant! You always know the time in any situation

What a good bezel use. I will try that myself

I’ve been wearing a watch ever since I can remember. I forget what brand it is, might be a Seiko, but I got my first Mickey Mouse watch when I was like four and wore it until I was like 10. From 10 to like 16 was the G shock phase. Now I wear basically any decent waterproof, scratch resistant chronograph. Edit I forgot the whole point of the comment. At my work I have to clock in and out @ exact 100ths of an hour. And there is no way I am touching my phone without washing my hands during the middle of my shift. So I need a watch. Also, like a necklace or bracelet it can really complete a look.

Seiko SNK805, 6 beats per second, automatic. It's a fidget toy, it's a gauge for time, not a reading of time. I have a small collection, and each has its appeal. Analog for the win.

It’s kinda the same question with a designated flashlight, when you can just use you phone

I'm 60 and I wore them back in the day or I would have to stop and listen to the courthouse clock bell and count the chimes to know what time it is. I t was always off about 10 minutes fast. I just had a Timex wound up and set it with the school bell every morning. It's just always been a great tool for me.

Really nice video. I dont want to change my huawei gt just because of the sleeping and sport functions.. but those analog watches are really fine

You got a nice collection friend! I have a couple. It’s just more convenient than pulling out my phone for the time and date, also it just made me so angry that you didn’t put the bezel back

My first watch was just like that Casio, even the same color. I got it when I was just 9 years old, and I have always worn a watch since. Brings back memories.

I’ve been wearing a wristwatch since my pre-teens( over 50 now). My father was always a stickler for time and to this day I hate tardiness. I have the Casio GWM-5610 solar atomic digital watch with a slim profile. It is accurate to the second and never needs a battery. It does an excellent job of giving me the date, day and time at a glance and is built like a tank. Very easy to read. I love analog watches also and have some nice Citizen Eco-drives when I want some class. Wristwatches will never go away. They are just too functional and beautiful in my opinion.

Never had 1, there was just always a clock around when I was a kid (pre cell phone era lol) as I get older though I'm starting to like the aesthetic more

Thanks for that max, beautiful way of putting it

I have stripped my watch of everything except the hour hand. Every mark on the minute track is now 12 minutes. That and the date because that's all I need.

You MUST get a Spring Drive watch brother

I'm thinking the same thing, the flow of time is worth measuring to me!

3 main reasons as to why I wear a watch 1. It feels nice on the wrist 2. Has a beautiful history behind it 3. I really really hate having to pully phone out just to look at the time. Super convenient.

I'm not a fan of time and I don't like wrist watches but I would wear one on a belt clip or carabiner.... I have an OLD one that I got 20ish years ago and it works great but it's just in my collection now because I like it so much and I want to keep it in decent shape, and because I haven't found one like it yet. LoL

I could always just use my phone or buy a smart watch since its a bit more practical. But what i like analog is that theyre so unique and have tiny parts in the inside working in unison along with the value of them over time since the expensive ones are made of good materials

That's a really deep, almost spiritual take. I just like to be able to check the time at a glance without having to pull my phone out of my pocket lol. But it's also an accessory, much like jewelry. Strickly speaking no, you don't *need* one, but there's a lot of things people don't *need* but own/wear anyways.

In the Navy, there's a lot of space where you can't have a phone, smart watch or any other device capable of recording. Hence, why the modern devices won't replace a traditional wristwatch

Wonderfully said

To me, a nice watch is a combination of art and beauty, engineering and practicality. The watch is a tool but it also makes a statement. That statement varies per watch, but they all seem to say the wearer has an appreciation for these throwbacks to another era. Because yeah, I could just use my phone, but I’m a watch guy.

my friends ask me the same thing and it’s funny when they ask me for the time when none of us are carrying our phones. one time he asked for the time, and i said “why?”. he said “ i have to pick up my sister from school”. so i said check your phone. he said it was dead. i said “boy do you wish you had a watch right now”. he now wears a watch. a similar thing happened to my other friend and he bought his first automatic watch. we live in a world where being on time is crucial and i don’t like relying on my phone and having to charge it every so often. plus, there’s also time’s where it’s inappropriate to pull out your phone. i go to college and some professors don’t like seeing phones out. i can’t pull out my phone during a test, during a solemn even, during a movie, while driving, etc. plus, it’s just more convenient especially for those who are always checking the time. it’s no different than people wearing an apple watch. why get an apple watch when you already have your phone?

I wear a watch to keep track of the time. 😄 Seriously though, I collect and restore vintage metal Casios as a hobby and love the feeling of getting them for super cheap and then bringing back to (almost) factory glory. 😉

Love the fact that you also have 3 of those casio divers... Everyone thinks im weird having the same 3 in my set although all 3 of mine are the exact same colour just 3 different bands 🤣

I've worn a databank for years

I like my G-Shock GD350. It has the small second counter animations and even the vibrate alarm so I don't have to annoy anyone with beeps.

its very nice to show that youre in a hurry without being rude

The other nice thing about analog watches, is once you are accustomed to it, it is actually easier to read. Most people know roughly or exactly what hour of the day they are in if they are monitoring the time. So with analog, you only need to briefly glance at that minute hand for a millisecond to see what time it is. For some reason (for me anyway) this just doesn’t work the same with a digital read out

I love watches man. Can’t afford expensive luxury watches but it really ain’t even about all tht. Idk how to explain it man but knowing my watches are all on the same time make me feel better, I like knowing the time an being on time to places. Watches are forever🙌🏽💯💯

I have a Garmin Instinct because it can stand up to the wear and tear at work, really happy with that thing Controlled by five buttons, so I can use it while wearing gloves Shows new messages, the time obviously, setting timers etc is very fast and easy, has a function to find my phone, tracks my heartbeat and sleep and it's waterproof

I bought the cheapest ana-digi stainless gshock I could find on eBay in 2019 so I didn’t need to take the first brand new phone I ever owned out of my pocket on all the foreign adventures I had planned. Covid happened which curtailed my adventures but I did make it to Norway first and I have a great watch which will outlast me too.

Need a ghshock analog & digital with the timer buttons for my kitchen job :)

I just bought this watch case yesterday, it’s great

Nice Casionox! I’ve got both the MRW200H (black dial, white Arabics) - Casio can really deliver an affordable watch. They also make incredible Titanium G-Shock Squares, too.

Bro I've always proffered analogies watches. You explained it perfectly

When it comes to analog I like to keep it simple. Rudiger Kassel Silver is my go to. Although I do love me analog watches. The old school Casios like CD 401 Databanks making a come back make my heart happy.

I like your perspective

Absolutely admire you I have had many expensive watches however the ones I treasure are probably the ones I brought because I just like them

I have a watch because I don't want to be looking at the time from my phone and be distracted by notifications. I just like the way an analog watch looks, and also I can't have a phone on me at work.

I have an analog watch because I need to time things

I like an ani-digi dial with chrono bezel and solar power, which pares down the options considerably.

What is the make and model of the all blocked out face in the middle there? And wahys got to be your all time favorite universally across the board, thnx

I especially love mechanical watches, having a miniature working machine on your wrist feels as lively as a beating heart.

You could check your smartphone, but do you ever JUST check the time when you pull your phone out? You are probably going to unlock it and find something else to distract you. Pulling your phone out of whatever pocket it's in and putting it back is also a pretty ridiculous activity vs just rolling your wrist.

I see that Casio Royale over there...

Watches and no steaming music is the best

here's a simple answer , ladies love a guy that has an expensive watch (or expensive looking ! seiko gang rise up! ) on your wrist during dates or meetups , it's all about presentation and it definitely gives you bonus points towards what you want ;)

That's a really nice collection. Watch is my EDC ever since I can remember. Easier to keep track of time when both hands dirty. Got into a motorcycle accident & damaged a watch. I just had to buy a replacement right away because my wrist feel naked.

It would be a real bummer if I had to depend on my phone to know what time it is. It is so easy and quick to just casually flick your wrist and check the time. It's a drag to get my phone out of my pocket, wake up my screen, and look at the time. I don't have to charge my watch every night to get through the day, so I don't leave the house without it if I forget I don't have it on me because it is ALWAYS on me. Except for maintenance, and that's how I know what a godawful nuisance it is to have to rely on my cell phone for the time. I don't exactly feel naked if I don't have my watch, but I don't even remotely feel naked without my phone.

I like your collection, personal and authentic

TIL how to use the rotating bezel. I love analog watches, but if I could only have one watch, it would be digital. I use stopwatch and timer a lot to help me keep track of time and because my time management skills are very poor. If I can't have a timer, my life would be in utter chaos.

Got use to mine. Feels weird not wearing a watch out and about.

My phone is with me pretty much 24/7. For me there's no need to have that level of redundancy on my wrist with a smart watch. I love the simplistic complexity of a watch, especially automatics. On my wrist is a tool with a singular purpose, to tell time, and I love that disconnect of technology, even if it's just a little. Plus, there's something therapeutic about watching the graceful sweep on a automatic... maybe I'm just weird.

Fully agree and awesome vid 👍👍

I enjoy the second hand too

Bought gshock for myself because i’m going to basic in a few days. It feels a bit weird to always feel something on your hand but I need it anyway because I won’t be able to use my phone there.

A watch is not just for keeping time, it raises your social standards and it represents yourself as responsible. If you get a really expensive watch, for example a Rolex, it could be passed down through generations in remembrance. That is why Nico said.

i have never worn a watch since i was a teen kid and got my first cellphone... And i live in tA capitol city so there are watches all over, you can't avoid knowing time even if you want to... just glance at the left corner of your screen right now... lol If I go hiking and camping in the woods or canoeing I count days.

I like the fact that watches do one thing and they do it well. They don't try to do 80 different things kinda well

I have the Casio forester its a great watch.

I have that exact watch and im wearing a smith and wessen brand analog watch right now

I wear a watch because it is just an amazing little piece of engineering. Also, I refuse to carry a phone.

The only time I,m not wearing a watch its the shower, and sometimes I bathe with it. A waterproof watch is totally necessary for my work as I have to keep the time many times per hour and having a set of alarms is nice too although not that necessary.

I do maintenance on lots of things throughout the day and need to record most of it. Lot easier to look at your wrist than pull out your phone.

I love to wear a watch.💯👍

I just love the look and the reassuring feel of a watch. I can't ever imagine not wearing one.

Analogue is the way to go. It's still alive and kicking.

I had an Apple Watch but man I just want a break from tech and screens. I love my quartz watch, it looks nice never needs charging and tells me the time

I was looking what best brands would be for a cheap diver watch. Want to make something that doesn’t use batteries besides the sun.

Military. Always wear a watch. I'm actually going to try to get a hold of a smartwatch that can stand up to abuse once I get to my duty station

I Love My Watches…!!!! They are Pure Art & Engineering from there most Precise Movement to there Design Etc. I Also Love Pocket Watches As Well…!!!! Great Video. Keep up the great work. Kind Regards Nicholas🧔🏽‍♂️⌚️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧.

Nice casio mrw-200h! Need to buy another color. They are awesome

The only think I don't like about watches, is precisely the second hand. It's like it gives me anxiety just to know that time is flowing and I that I should be doing something useful before day's gone

I like to be able to tell the time when I don't have my phone. It's inconvenient taking my phone out of my pocket to tell the time especially if it's raining and my phone is in my zipped up pocket.

This may be me, but its far easier If I just look down at my wrist, instead of having to soft through my purse when I want the time.

I bought a watch at Woolworth for Like 9€ and i have worn it every time i went bushcrafting and it works Like its new

Very well said

Can you tell me the name of this watch

I love this, I am also a watch collector and agree fully

Watch is still useful as a beater timekeeper. Smartwatch is not just as durable plus its battery is limited.. usually need to be charged after 48 hours.

You'd love GS spring drives lol
