I used to, but not anymore. Smartphone is a pocketwatch.

Pulling it out to look at it and put it back is like 20 times more work than looking at your wrist.

I said pocketwatch, not wristwatch. But that is the reason for the wristwatch replacing the pocketwatch.

Except it has multiple other uses like staying in contact with people throughout the day.

That's why I don't wear a watch for that.

There's a town I know where there are still large clocks dating back about 200 years lining the road.

The road goes between a factory and the village where the workers lived.

The whole village was actually built just to house them. Practically overnight complete with community centers, shops, doctors, a school, even a church. There was no reason to leave. There was even slightly fancier houses for the managers.

No one could afford watches. The clocks are there to make sure workers have no excuse for being late. Clock time is for slaves.
