Oh, I wore watches for years, before I decided they were unnecessary. I am immune to nostalgia, and as stated, I don’t need a fancy piece of metal and glass to tell the time. My small bit of plastic and rubber can do that. It also doesn’t snag on cuffs, pockets, door frames, and anything else my hands come close to, because it’s not the size of a roll of Scotch tape. It isn’t as impressive, for sure, but I’m not looking to impress anybody. I drive a Kia and rent an apartment.
Again, I can appreciate the design and craftsmanship of a beautiful object. There are plenty of things in the world that are intricate, and beautiful, and also laughably impractical. I do not feel a compulsion to obtain things like that.
