Watches are great. If I had my way, I’d have a dozen, mostly metal, with very little digital technology in them at all. Ignoring my calculator watch obsessions (in which I still lean toward metal), watches are the sort of technology meant to be appreciated in spite of their anachronistic place in the progression of gadgetry. For every cheap plastic and rubber throwaway model that pollutes the idea, there are dozens of high-quality, affordable mechanical pieces that offer the current time in a more convenient and classy way than pulling out your cellphone or PDA and taking a glance at the harsh, digital lines.
That said, if you’re a watch-making consortium, it’s retardulous to sue a telephone operator because they implied you could throw away your watch when you bought a cellphone. That makes me want to go ahead and ditch my watches and go cyber-mobile.
