Curious. I never look at my watch unless I want to know the time. And when I want to know the time, I just glance at it; I don't dig a phone out of my purse. If I'm making a quick trip, I don't always take my purse; I keep "mad money" in the "watch pocket" of my jeans (there's an artifact; who uses pocket watches anymore?), and my ID and debit and credit card in a small business card case in my pocket. I don't bother with the phone.

Unlike cell phones, the price of watches has been going up, probably due to lowered demand. A simple Timex with a backlight now runs $35 up. I can remember getting them for only $10.

I still have analog wall clocks. I can read those without my glasses. I simply can't read the digital displays on my electronics without my glasses. Being blind as a mole at close range without glasses is also why I favor large dial (for a woman's watch) analog watches. I might not be able to read the numbers (they are just a blurry dot to me) but I associate which blur is what number by position. the hands are fuzzy marks but still visible. When I'm working a Renaissance Festival, I don't wear my trifocals (I do keep a pair of readers tucked away just in case). Since I'm usually on a schedule, I can just sneak a quick peek at my watch hidden under my sleeve. There is no way I would be able to see a digital display.
