I hardly ever see one anymore and haven't worn one in years.

Time's up for watch sales in Japan

Spare a thought for Japan's watchmakers. According to a new survey by Seiko Watches, the proportion of Japanese aged between 16-49 wearing wristwatches has plummeted from 70% in 1997 to 46% today. The culprit, if you haven't already guessed, is the mighty cell phone. While the trend is a global one, it's more pronounced in Japan, where mobile phone ownership passed 81 million in 2004, and gizmo-jammed handsets rule the roost. (Only in Japan can you use your handset to discern star constellations, while listening to music downloaded over a 3G network, before taking a breath-test for alcohol to make sure you're okay to drive).

4. He said something last week about needing one, and then he said

"Rolex" and I told him we'd have to sell the house so he could have a watch he'd accidentally drown in a swimming pool.

I don't wear one anymore either. Cell phones, car, tv, computer, all give me the time when I need it. I'd wear one if I was practicing nursing again. That was the last time I wore one.

And yes, about ten minutes later, he handed me the instructions to set everything up. I worked on it, but it was already broken. He's taking it back tomorrow.
