I never said it bugs me. I own a Citizen solar powered watch. I also own a mechanical watch and a smart watch. I would probably by a GPS synced watch.
I stand by my comment that everything is emotional.

I stand by it too, as someone who drives a manual car that's older than I am and uses a film camera that's older than either of my parents. There's no point if it's not emotional.

I guess I “emotionally” choose the most precise tool for the task of telling time.
No it really isn't. HN is not the correct forum for this sweeping psychobabble.
> Does anyone really need a GPS synced watch that is accurate to the nanosecond? No, people want it because they think it's cool.
No, we buy these accurate watches because a) there are only a few such watch makers, and b) they all use an even smaller pool of GPS chips. And its these chips that have the precision that bugs you so.
