Will, this is not 1950. Cell phones are ubiquitous and (I think) changed the expectation about men of 'our generation' wearing watches. It almost makes less sense to wear a watch and carry a cell-phone.

I don't like watches because they're ugly, heavy, and leave me feeling off balance like I'm going to tip to one side.. even with a cheapo plastic one.

Are you talking "40 something" or "20 something"? Generational stereotypes about wealth change, and I think that the time we're 40 somethings, watches will not be a sign of wealth.
