We've had a discussion about this some time ago. A lengthy one at that.
A watch is an accessory. Depending on who you ask, it can mean a difference between a good and excellent first impression. It is a status symbol. It's an icon of style. A watch is a piece of jewelry that is more than just a timepiece. I've worn a watch since I got my first digital red one at the age of 6. There was a brief pause for a year and a half where all the watches I've had were broken and I didn't have the money to buy one. However, I wear one everyday, even if I just run out of the house around the corner to buy chips.
My uncle hasn't taken his watch off in about 2 years. He sleeps, eats, showers with it. It becomes a part of you. In the end, different strokes. I think a watch is necessary.
