✴️ DID SMARTPHONES "KILL" THE WATCH?? MY Nixon 51-30 Chrono Watch 😎
Do people still wear watches these days? Several years ago, I came to realize that many people don't even wear watches as much anymore. It's become more of a fashion statement than anything else.
Every time I go out on a business meeting or to one of those entrepreneur conventions, I see people "flashing" there Rolexes, Breitlings, Gucci, Cartier watches worth tens of thousands of dollars. ⌚
Couple of my friends even have $20,000 Rolexes and Breitlings watches which is pretty insane in my book. You will never see me buying "materialistic things" like those. I rather invest it but it's none my business what people do with there money 😎
The real funny thing is that I "Rock" a huge $300 Nixon 51-30 Chrono Watch for over 5+ years. I get more compliments and attention from this watch than most of my friends who have these expensive watches. 🤣
You see, it's not how valuable something is... it's how you present yourself.... with "confidence".
So did Smartphones kill the watch? I think it did, less people are wearing them these days. Maybe in a few decades when people look back at old photos, they are going to say "What are thoooooose"... just like we look at CD's and pagers these days. 😂

Watches are really a fashion statement.
I am planning to get my digital watch soon.
kinda late in this picture.
I am a watch lover i have 4 watches not to expensive but i can't leave home without watch. Nice post loved it and nice watch.
It's how you wear it. Act like a boss, get treated like a boss.
Words of a true boss right there 😎
And possibly be disliked by people who dislike authority figures.
Depends on how you present yourself as a boss.
The truth right there :)
To me not even my smartphone can take the place of the wrist watch. I use G-shock wrist watch worth #300 hmm very cheap.
That watch must have tons sentimental value 😂
Like serious, it is. That is just what I can afford for now
Like serious, it is. That is just what I can afford for now
That's naira, right? Lol
yes o, i cut my cloth according to the material i have. If I done hammer me too will use Rolex worth even $50,000
Well, not only smart phones, but these small keypad phones too have it's part in that lol
That soooo true :)
I like that smiley lol
I'm not a flashy dude and not big on fashion statements or jewerly or brands. That said if someone is going to buy jewelry a watch from a quality manufacture is probably the best buy, custom jewerly, diamond stuff, rapper jewelry is dumb as fuck a rolex or a breitling is one of the less stupid "investments" when it comes to jewelry
Totally agree! The only jewelry I have is my white gold chain I bought for thousands more than a decade ago when gold was a few hundred bucks. It retained it's value and worth more today :)
Yeah I have a nice gold box chain from Italy with a medallion that my grandma gave me when I turned 21. Aside from that I think the only piece of jewelry I'll ever buy would be a nice watch
Yes, I bought myself a watch last year, but I think as a watch as just a piece of jewellery now, not a scientific instrument to measure time. That's what a smartphone is for. Mind you, the smartphone has also killed the stand alone calculator, camera, GPS, PDA, desktop PC, phone book, Filofax, landline, satnav, iPod, the list goes on.
That’s true so true, I only bust out the watch when it’s a special occasion lol
It looks so much better than a smartphone and will still do so in 10 years, so definitely a better investment for the future..
The all in one techno swiss army knife.
I wonder when the pendulum will swing back to people using the specific tools in order to avoid emf poisoning.
long time ago heheh
Darn it, I think I'm 10 years to late to realize that hahaha
Seeing this your post made me laugh out loud because I was just telling my friend today that I have never bought a WATCH with my money before. Maybe we one time shared the same philosophy
My phone has been serving the purpose of wrist watch, Lol.
Yeah, when I wear my watch... I still check the time on my iPhone LOL
At least I am not alone in this, Lol....
Maybe another question would be, have smartwatches dinged the demand for "old school" watches?
I say that because I had a Samsung Gear S2. It was the "Dick Tracy" type where it had it's own internal sim and could be a phone by itself. I hadn't worn a "old style" watch :) for years.
Having said that, I sold it, and am looking at going back old school. Not going for the fancy watch, agree with you that the money is better spent on your business.
I have an old Timex watch that I might use in the interim. It was my father's watch. What I find interesting is that I have reverted to "old school" earlier in my life.
Example, I use to be one of those guys who spent his money on the three blade, four blade, etc. Gillette razors. It was spendy. So, I reverted back to a double-edge razor and have never been more satisfied.
Keep doing what you're doing Charles. Obviously, it's working for you!
