Hat-wearing might have become fashion. Not that much different from a watch having become fashion, while the functionality of a watch and added value is not that much as it used to be.

Wearing a watch has become much less common, though!

And, aside, I don’t get it at all! There’s a reason humanity initially switched from pocket watches to wrist watches! Why would you want to go back?!

I don't wear a watch anymore because I am already required to carry a phone and the phone has every possible function the watch would have. What is the value in the watch at that point? Since I do not check the time that often (there are three clocks on computer desktops/menubars plus a wall clocks in eyesight of me right now) there is little value in having the added convenience of the wrist over the pocket for checking time.

The pocket watch (cell phone) is very popular in my circles.
