The phone thing is a valid argument, but one that doesn't work for me.

I don't want to have to dig my phone out of my pocket, every time I want to know what time it is.

I also like to keep an eye on the outside temperature, so that's useful.

I don't like frivolous notifications, but I rely on important ones, and the Watch is pretty much perfect, for that.

Funny, I actually decided the opposite - I think making it too easy for me to check the time promotes anxious thinking, especially when as for most cases, the exact time doesn't really matter that much. I think making it slightly harder to check the time is good thing for me.

Obviously this doesn't apply to everyone, and might be a bad idea if you regularly do things that really do need an up to the minute time accuracy.

Well, the reason that I had the Apollo watch, and the two Oceanus ones, was because they synced to all the worldwide time servers.

I'm pretty anal about time. People know they can rely on me. It's a thing.
