Some people can go about their daily tasks without a time measuring implement on their wrist. I have a relative who can do this. She says that she does not need it. She checks the time on their wall clock before she leaves the house, depends on the car clock to tell time while she is traveling and uses the computer clock when she is at work. It seems like a plausible practice that we can all emulate. After all, we always carry a cell phone and cell phones have time keeping features.

I guess it is just a matter of habit that we continue to use our wrist watches. It is also an accessory to the clothes that we choose to wear. Wrist watches are available in different styles. We use a chunky watch with leather straps when we are in jeans and tee shirt. But we pull out our bejeweled gold watch when we are dressed up for a formal affair. I guess wrist watches are here to stay. We need them to prop up our costume for the day.
