Is wearing a watch still essential today ?

For some people, the answer might be no while remaining might say yes. As we are living in modern day today, we can easily check the time through our mobile phone, computer, tablet and even a micro wave.

Let's take a few moment back in time, where the only way to check the time is only through traditional watch, then it become essential.

If we speak about wrist watch in particular, it was derived from pocket watch, started after the end of World War I and inline with the development of airplane. At that time pilots need to use the watch to calculate and navigate their bearing during the flight, it was difficult to check their pocket watch while controlling the plane, hence they modified pocket watch into wrist watch by adding nylon or leather straps on it.

Today we can consider that wrist watch is the only accessory or jewelry that normally can be used by a man (gentleman). So the answer for the tittle of this blog would depends on how do we appreciate and look into it, there is no right or wrong answer.
