All time is an approximation. Do you display the milliseconds? The microseconds? Does it matter? Of course not, and if I'm off 30 seconds to a minute, I likewise think it doesn't matter.

I also wear my watch on the right wrist, and I am not left-handed (like Luke).

I also like pocket watches, but I never got one (well there aren't many or even any nice ones with a digital display as well).

To Sabrage: I don't dispute that some analog watches look really nice. I claim the method of displaying the information is basically obsolete (possibly with some exceptions like the "read from a distance" point or such).
I also contend that if people had moved on from analog, you would have extremely nice digital watches, without annoying beeping sounds and so on for people like you to wear. I mean really what is to stop a digital display from looking really nice? Personally I think there are already some very aesthetically pleasing digitals, but I like the style of say Casio G-Shocks (that is just me and I'm sure many people just hate that style).

I can't imagine why anyone would spend more than say $100 on a watch, period, but there are digital ones that earn their value upwards of $50 with quite interesting features, without making the main feature (telling the time) cluttered.

Ivo.
From the perspective of an accuracy freak, you're right. A digital clock will easily and efficiently display the exact time, arguably moreso than an analog (and I'm sure some microprocessor-based digital watches keep time better than their analog counterparts too.) But whereas you like G-Shocks and Luke (and Bill Clinton) like IronMans, I get goddamned picky about the way I look. I don't, for example, know many other guys who own (and regularly wear) more than 5 pairs of shoes.

Not sure why I hadn't posted this yet. For all your watch porn needs, go here: http://www.watchismo.com/

Just mind the sticker shock.

Anyway, as interesting as this discussion it, maybe we should split it out if it continues.

Has this discussion ran out of time?

I'll have to hand it to you, you did get people ticking and wound up.

This discussion is winding down anyway, but like clockwork, someone comes in all alarmed that the thread is going off-topic. What must be going on in their head?

So I'm not the only right-handed guy to wear a watch on his right wrist!
