Wristwatch

I’ve gotten so used to wearing a wristwatch that when I’ve forgotten to wear one when I’m out and about, it feels like I’m missing a valuable tool. Even though my cellphone can tell time, not to mention the digital clock on my car’s dashboard, it’s not the same.

A cellphone has to be held and powered on to see the time on it. If the power runs out, then I’m without a phone–and a clock. The clock in the car is only useful when I’m in the car, not when I’m outside of it.

But when I wear a wristwatch, I can see the time whenever I want. Its battery life isn’t nearly as short as a cellphone. And I don’t need to be in one place (i.e., a car) to know what time it is. It’s as if time follows me wherever I go, and I don’t need to charge it everyday, as I do with my cellphone.

Its function is simple, yet powerful. A wristwatch doesn’t have to be luxurious or the most expensive to do what it does. All it needs to be is reliable, and to work like clockwork.
