Whether or not the two things are equivalent in one way ("you have it with you") isn't what we're discussing. Am I wearing this book in my hand? No I am not. The ring on my finger? Yes. "Wearable" is a word that means a specific thing. It doesn't mean "something you have with you".

Right. So why are you wearing your belt (hooked through some fabric loops on your pants) and you're not wearing your phone (resting in a fabric pouch on your pants)?

No, but unlike a book, I can clip my phone to my belt (well, if it were 10 years ago and I still thought that didn't look terrible). Given Bluetooth and PANs, there's just not much different between what's in my pocket and what's on my belt.
