No body with a cell phone or one of numerous other electronic gizmos that tell time really needs a watch... They are really nothing more than status symbols that project whatever image a person finds they need to project if they work or socialize with people are awed by that kind of stuff... Fortunately we aren't involved with wannabe jet setters and my wife just enjoys an occasional little gift of something to occasionally wear as an accessory with different outfits so I'll get her things I feel that she will like... Nobody at Wal-Mart will know that the chronometer hands are fake or that the tortoise shell Wafarer sunglasses I also ordered to go with the watch aren't Ray Bans...  Both items together cost less than a meal with a drink each for the two of us and we are old and don't eat much..  The watch does keep time, is very attractive and at $23.00 I feel very pleased with it, as does my wife.
