Just last year, I gave in to the big, giant-watch trend. For my graduation, I finally got the gold Michael Kors watch that I had been wanting. Just a few months later, after a stroll through the department store, all I see are tiny and petite watches. Watches are being re-marketed as "less is more." I can't help but think, was the big-watch trend ever real? Were they ever really cool, or was their existence just a ploy to make money, since most people already own a normal-sized watch? I love my large watch, but if it weren't the "trend" at the time, I don't know that I would ever really seek to buy that large of a watch.
Additionally, with most people having a cell phone within arm's reach, are watches phasing out? Personally, I use my watch as a fashion accessory and I have found that I rarely, if ever, check the time with it. People are either working at a computer or using a cell phone, making clocks more accessible than ever. Are watches slowly becoming a thing of the past? Just some things to think about!
