Computers, phones, wall clocks, radio - we are surrounded by indications of the time constantly but my watch is something I look at for aesthetic pleasure as well as function
Would you still wear a watch?
However it happened, implant, mystical powers, whatever; If you could be instantly and always aware of the time, would you still wear a watch?
It sometimes seems to me that we don't care overly much about the functionality of the watch in some sense. I realize of course that many will but...I suspect even so that a number of people would wear a watch even if they simply "knew" the time.
I suspect I might.

You mean, if I spent the vast majority of my time sitting in front of things that all had a clock? Yes, I'd still wear a watch.
Yep, I often look at my watch and don't even take in the time!

I am Jack Reacher, I always know the time.
Perhaps watch makers should start issuing watches that only have an hour hand. And the next one would be without any hands at all. A lovely ceramic painted dial perhaps or something like this?
I think people that wear Richard Mille chronographs have these mysterious powers as you can't tell the time from them
If I'm at home, 3 appliances in the kitchen show the time.
For most of the day, sat at a computer the time is visible in the top right of the screen.
In the car, the time is visible on the dash.
When I think about it, the time is usually a glance away for most of my day. I don't need a watch to know the time, it's everywhere.
It's not particularly surprising the answers you get here. You are talking to people who spend 10s-100s of times more than you need to in order to tell the time already...

From what I can see most people have a mobile phone practically glued to them which has the time on and nearly everyone still wears a watch. Watches are highly advertised as fashion items by the Michael Kors of this world and as for a wis - nothing will stop us wearing them :-)
