My phone tells me the time and can communicate with people, lets me access the Internet, and has games. And it doesn't evenb irritate the shit out of me when I need to type on a keyboard.

There is something special about a watch (especially a mechanical one) that a phone can't fulfill. It's a tiny machine operated by gears and that's just so amazing. When you get a watch where you can see the movement it just ticks the right boxes. And there are some really beautiful, amazing watches which don't require selling your house.
