It is. Watches lost the timekeeping service long ago, so their main purpose now is /only/ being a symbol of status.

(Thats why I'm happy with my wristwatch, it shows the time and day of the month. Nothing more. I wouldn't mind a perpetual calendar, only to avoid those three days a year when they don't sync with the ideosyncrazies of the human's calendar)
