I'll say this: a year ago I started wearing a watch again, and I've been amazed at how awesome it is compared to a cellphone. If I want to know the time, nothing beats just looking at my wrist and getting back to what I was doing, as opposed to getting my phone out, pressing unlock, putting it away, and sometimes forgetting the time.

It's truly the smallest of speedups to get over the pettiest of inconveniences, but for something I do constantly, having a watch is awesome. Even though the current crop of smart watches don't interest me, I could see myself getting a watch that makes other common tasks easier if it came at a reasonable price.

Right, and I could see getting myself a $30 Casio sport watch so I have a basic watch / alarm / stopwatch.

What phone needs unlocking to see the time?

I think GP refers to pressing a screen-on button.
