No. The wrist watch had improved functionality. It didn't require a pocket, a chain, or a fob. - TWuG Mar 4, 13:23 5
- ditto for a wearable interface versus hand-held. -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 13:34

  - Well, if you're going to didmiss the entire reason that pocket watches lost out to wrist watches, I guess there's no point in having the discussion. - TWuG Mar 4, 13:29 2
    - That's my point when I use the analogy of the changeover from pocket watches to wrist watches. Convenience triumphed. So when you say why would you - Loyola Mar 4, 13:40
    - Isn't this the same logic you began with? A watch goes with your wrist....a phone needs to go in a pocket. - Will Hunting Mar 4, 13:39
