Truth in Advertising Department

[alexxkay]

I was talking with kestrell the other day about how wrist watches have largely become obsolete. Practically everyone has a cell phone and/or PDA which they can tell time with. The only real use for wrist watches now is as fashion. Or, I suppose, because you're so used to the idea of wearing one that you do it out of habit.

I was walking past a jewelry store recently, and glanced in the window. They were advertising a new line of Seiko watches. The brand name? "Citizen fossil".

I think I gotta jump on the "the cell phone is not nearly as convenient" bandwagon. I have to just glance at my writst to check my watch. Untilmy phone is on my writs, it just won't be as simple.

Me, I don't like a hard hunk of something strapped to my wrist; the momentary inconvenience of looking at the cell phone (it has a display I can see without opening it) is more than balanced.
