I wear a watch. I'd had a Seiko automatic (or kinetic, I can never recall the difference) for a long time that I bought while in college. It didn't need a battery or winding and had a nice analog face (day of week and month). It wasn't fancy or expensive but looked "casual/classy". I learned it would need periodic cleaning every few years and the gentleman who worked behind the counter at Kohl's (sort of a Target-like retailer) told me this when I brought it back after a few years when it had started slowing down.
It turned out he had a side business out of his home as a watch repairman, gave me his card and said he'd be happy to do it for a reasonable price. He and his wife (both much older than I) didn't live too far away from me, so I'd bicycle on over to their home, drop it off, and visit a while. He kept doing that after he retired and I was always happy to come over to their home, which was like one of those little homes with birds and small animals like you read about in fairy tales.
The Seiko needed work at about the time I left my job, so I took it back over. When I didn't receive a call saying the watch was ready, I called and learned that he had become ill and was in the hospital. Within a short time, he died and I told his wife to not worry about the watch, your husband gave it a good long life.
I went watchless for a while (actually thought it was a "sign", since I wasn't under schedules any more), but I was so used to having a watch on my left wrist that I could glance at, I replaced it with a Wenger (Swiss Army) watch that I use now. Also analog, just the day of month, but requires a battery. When I found it, I thought "this looks like something Don Draper (Mad Men) would wear".
I like the Wenger for what it does, so no Apple Watch for me.
