I like watches, but think of them as tools. I have an aesthetic demand for a tool I wear every day, all day, but function is first.
I have many watches, but only ever wear one. Well, my automatic Hamilton is in for service after 8 years of flawless performance. So I'm not wearing a Fossil diver, and am remembering how handy the outer bezel is for simple timing, like cooking or developing film. It's just the battery won't last, and at $10 a year for batteries, I'm not finding better accuracy is worth much when it is set 5 minutes fast. The difference in the length of a second on my quartz vs. automatic is not significant for what I use it for.
I prefer mechanical or automatic watches, as the original quartz battery lasts perhaps 5 years and then every replacement lasts maybe a year for me. Much prefer spending the same amount of money once or twice per decade to buying a new watch every 5-6 years. Oh, and mechanical/automatic watches have gears inside running off a spring, which makes them inherently cool.
