In recent years, watches have almost vanished from the wrists of men. Young men see them as dated, old-fashioned, and even obsolete… “My smartphone tells me the time, so why would I need a wristwatch?
” Now… they all have smartphones, so why do they wear a wristwatch?
And it’s sad. A lamentable shift has happened in the last few decades. Once upon a time, a watch was a necessity, something both men and women put on their wrists every morning and took off only at night before bed. It was a necessity, or else you wouldn’t know the time of the day, and you’d be late for all your meetings. Millennial probably never even got into the habit of wearing a watch and for men that’s a shame. It’s your own signature piece; something that you wear so often that people end up identifying it with you. Even a smart watch is better than no watch- though depending on the model, it will end its own unique message.
Buzz Aldrin wore one in the Apollo 11, MLK wore one when he spoke with President Johnson, and countless US presidents have worn them during their inaugurations. Today’s great men, like Bill Gates, Bono, Elon Musk, Warren Buffet, and Pope Francis, all still wear watches.

Casio released the G-Shock in April 1983, to fill the demand for durable watches. Sales were sluggish in Japan as people preferred dress watches.
