> But, IMO, knowing the time isn't something I need to be solved on my wrist anymore given everyone carries phones.

It varies; I like checking the time when my hands are full. Wristwatches got much more useful to me when my kid was born - with babies you almost never have a hand free to dip into your pocket just to check the time.

When I'm working on my car, or playing guitar, or just about anything interesting, my hands are full so it's nice to have the time on my wrist.
