What's your opinion about pocket watches?

These pocket wathes are not so popular in our country.Then mobiles have also eliminated their importance now-a-days.I have stopped wearing my wrist watch b/c I cannot take care of both the things as my mobile is giving me correct time and i can also use its Alarm to wake me up........I think every one wants to become carefree now a days and it is good to have one thing in pocket rather shoving two and losing both or one outside......Please make a choice yourself !!

I find them beautiful and classy, and virtually worthless. As nice as they are I think they are nothing more than a novelty item or an antique now, because, as neat as they look with a suit, its so much easier to look at our wrists, or for some reason, cell phone. Actually if you think about it the cell phone is the new pocket watch.

I love pocket watches and have several myself. I have an allergy to most metals (nickel in particular) so I cannot wear a wrist watch unless it's one of those plastic ones (yuk!) So, I always carry a pocket watch. Some of the old pocket watches were beautiful! The newer ones don't have that luxury look to them anymore that the older versions did. I even have one that is on a necklace, very old, but beautiful :-) I don't think they'll ever really go out of style even if many more find their cellphone easier. I think the look is classic!
