For a man with a unique sense of style, there is always an accessory to adore. A premium watch can be one of the best among his possession and is considered to be an intelligent buy. A good watch is a Porsche, which you can carry it along always and does not harm the planet.

A Smartphone is no doubt the epitome of style but does not stand close to a wristwatch when compared. Though it has all the advanced features and has a very close connection with the human world, it is still the most unsafe gadget to carry around.

According to British psychologists, David. A. Ellis and Rob Jenkins in “Watch-wearing as a marker of conscientiousness” — people wearing a wristwatch have a significantly higher level of conscientiousness and emotional stability.

“A gentle men’s choice of timepiece says as much about him as does his suit”

The Combat of Smartphone and Wristwatch

1. All-time companions

The watches can always be with you without much effort needed as they are strapped to the wrist, but what about the Smartphone? You have to carry them in your palms and keep the hands occupied or put it in pockets and bags. The Smartphone can accompany you until its battery life for about 10–12 hours a day, whereas a premium watch will stay until your lifetime.

2. Traditional Heirlooms

The watches remain in the pages of history for their elegance and presence during important events which are later preserved as heirlooms. Buzz Aldrin was accompanied by Neil Armstrong to be the first two humans on the moon. Not to forget his Omega Speedmaster watch which was also a part of his journey there. These watches gain importance even when they are old, but a Smartphone is always replaced for a new version.

3. The Unsaid Etiquette

Going on a date with your beloved, but have another important event after it. How will you keep a check on time? Is it better to have a peek at your watch without being noticed or dabbing your phone to check? Watches are always handy, be it the date situation or waiting for a boring seminar to finish. It always covers up the awkward situation of fishing the phone from your pocket or unlocking it just to see the time making yourself look uninterested.

4. Mother Nature Approves

It’s already a known fact that the Smartphone is making a man dumb with its smart features and impacting neurologically. Then what about nature? Due to the radiations from phones, several species of birds and insects which are a part of the ecological food chain are getting extinct. Yet, here stands the watch without creating any destructive atmosphere, being eco-friendly and close to the heart of people.

5. Style Statement

A featured Smartphone may attract people but only as a status symbol, whereas a watch is a status symbol as well as a style statement. You will not get personalized phones (though you can personalize with apps but not the phone itself) you can surely get personalized watches, with your initials or changing its characteristics and also get exclusive pieces which are the only product variation available. Watches always will define your personal style and be unique but not be one among many like the phones.

6. Conversation Starter

A compliment of “ Wow, what a classy watch!” can immediately draw two strangers into a conversation. Be it you getting compliments or starting a conversation with a client. It always lightens the mood and eases any topic you will speak about. What about the phone? Everyone has a smartphone with different features but a lookalike. However, it doesn’t make any sense to comment on a phone just by its looks at the first instant. So, choose exclusive watches that are worth praising.

According to recent research in University of Philadelphia by the department of psychology using a Smartphone can result in the reduction of performance, impact on memory and cognitive performance, create diversions in attention and many more. Thus, using phones for more than the desired time can create problems.

Here are some of the legends who gave importance to a watch and their time.

2. Narendra Modi has a penchant for watches from Movado.

3. John F Kennedy with an Omega ultra-thin.

4. James Bond’s iconic Omega Seamaster.

5. Barack Obama with his all-time favourite Jorg Gray 6500 Chronograph.
