I tried, briefly, using my cell phone instead of a watch, and found it less convenient to pull out my phone to check the time, versus glancing at my wrist. It is still common to see people wearing watches. I now wear a smartwatch, meaning that I can check who called or texted me without having to pull out and unlock my phone.
