After wearing various aviation-styled watches over the years - mostly
moderately priced ones - I stopped wearing a watch all together.

Sort of like a sheathed belt knife, it can be a nice fashion accessory
and even a useful tool in the backcountry. But I find in the modern
lower 40, where many of us spend our time, timepieces are imbedded in
everything we touch.

It seems that every video screen, phone, vehicle, appliance, building
sign, and person has the current, accurate time displayed. Many of those
same time displays have stop watch, timer and alarm capabilities to boot.

Heck, I can even get an aviation weather briefing in local time!!

Standing outside the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, the home of zero
longitude, I straddled the GMT line and considered the time ball. The
same ball that was used in previous centuries to set the ships' clock.
Then I considered the old Trimble GPS in my bag and the iron clock
ticking on my wrist. I became confused and searched for a beer...

But soon after, I ditched the watch and decided to get on with the the
21st century.
