Plus it has one feature that Apple machines never have, which is flexibility: I'm not locked into using one company's hardware or software

Who wears a watch these days?

You asked, I told

so why not have a watch that will be more than a watch

Because it's useful, I can have all info I might need on it, yet leave my phone at home if I wanted to.

That's a myth

Sounds like something for hypochondriacs with a logo fetish

What do you mean by that? What if I called and no one on the other end picked up? I would take this as a personal insult.

My loophole

You're anti capitalist

But

It's my company phone that is supposed to be with me 24/7

so if I did not have it with me (I claim I was out of range of a mobile tower when I have to when questioned on why it was turned off) you should be happy I neglected my responsibility to my employer

Or maybe he's retired and has no use for a portable alarm clock?

Oh well, my beloved Casio's battery ran out and it also looks like I'd have to change the plastic wristband... again.

But after 22 years, I've decided to send it into retirement (not in the Blade Runner sense) and bought myself a new one:

It's a Seiko chronograph and my first watch of this kind. Yes, it was expensive for my humble financial situation but who knows if I'll ever own a watch like this unless someone gives me another as a gift. I also couldn't resist getting this classy Seiko as it sounds close to psycho.

No, seriously, I'm one of those guys who feels naked without a watch.
