That is why, it is more convenient to wear a watch. Being in control of your time is crucial in this hectic pace of modern life.

5. A watch indicates punctuality 

A watch is a symbol of time and wearing a watch implies that you respect the importance of time.

Watch makes that difference between making a positive or negative first impression at a job interview or missing an important event like a train.
