Wristwatches Get the Back of the Hand

My wristwatch left in 2002, when we bought the farm. But since my cell phone doesn't really work too well out here (I have to stand in the east paddock and kind of dance about to get enough signal to carry on a conversation) I now carry a pocket watch. Set to Eastern Standard Time, of course.

Is time running out for the wristwatch? Surveys and sales data show that young shoppers are shunning watches for snazzier time-telling gadgets, such as cellphones and iPods.
