I've never thought of a good reason to waste money or time on a watch.
Not worn a watch since I had a mickey mouse Mickey Mouse one when I was about 11.

I only ever pay attention to immediate time when I have to, otherwise, I don't.
One of the (many) things I detest about modern society is the obsession with time and doing more and more in ever shorter slices of it. How can an individual possibly do a good job, pay attention to detail, etc. if they are having to put up with demands like "I need that yesterday"? No wonder the average wage-slave (regardless of rank) is so stressed out.
