Wristwatch:
1) raise arm 2) pop crown 3) twist crown to align hands at 12:00 4) push crown 5) twist crown to wind
And now I can view at a glance how long it's been since I set it.
Same function with my smartphone:
1) dig smartphone out of pocket 2) press power button to activate screen 3) swipe my unlock figure (sometimes twice because it doesn't register correctly) 4) tap clock app icon 5) tap timer tab icon (out of three extremely similar-looking icons, sometimes tap wrong one) 6) tap 'reset' then start icon 7) press power button to deactivate screen 8) put smartphone back into pocket and everytime I want to check that timer: 9) dig smartphone out of pocket 10) press power button to activate screen and the timer's displayed.
Twice the effort, thrice the hassle.
While I'm hoping to get a couple of years out of it, at <$20 it's great for a daily driver!
Recently my Casio F-91W died and I replaced it with a somewhat more expensive but functionally simple analogue watch. I'm kind of regretting not just getting another F-91W, as I really miss its backlight and date display. I now find myself reaching for my phone when I want a time / date check and treating the watch mostly as a fashion accessory.
