a trivial matter: cells and watches

.... since I have gotten my cellphone I wear my watch less - no need for a
watch as long as I have my trusty cell with me which is just about all the
time. Am I alone in this or is this a trend that does not bode well for the
watch industry??

I'm pretty sure that Rolex ain't worried by the clocks in cell-phones.

It's much more convinient to took at a wristwatch than rummaging
thru your pockets to find your cell-phone.

So how do you know what time it is in places where you must turn your
cell-phone off ?

In the future a watch will be your cellphone
which you will wear round your wrist.

I was thinking more like Startrek Dud, but on the wrist.
added features like medical functions as well as TV, phone etc.
BUT IT'S JUST THEM 2 BLOODY CAR BATTERIES THAT CAUSE THE PROBLEM! :-)

Yep, I dumped my watch years ago for my phone. I reckon lot's of people
have done it. A watch is merely a piece of jewellery now days, where a
phone is more functional with most having many more features built into
them now. Like someone said some even have torches now! Plus of course
cameras, etc. etc.
