A hearty downvote for you sir.
Just because technology is old, doesn't mean it isn't cool. A precision built watch or clock is just as technically challenging to engineer as a smart watch or other gadget. The quartz movement was brought to the consumer in the 70's. To date, it is still an accurate method of keeping track of time and has been improved upon immensely.
Oh, and all those old timey watches that tell time and maybe the date tend to go for years on a battery, not a day.
