Yes. And the pocket watch was MILES more elegant and remarkable (in its own way).

Love me some dumbphones, used one for several pandemic years, but in the white-collar Anglosphere the iMessage ecosystem is the Theodosian Walls, and Constantinople is “a life that involves women.”

@ RF … smartphone:wearable (2023)::pocket watch:wristwatch(pre Quartz Crisis)? Not from a technological perspective, but from a fashion and social status perspective?

Not a chance. They’re straight up poison, IMO. Yes, they’re fun. But they’re addictive and dangerous and entirely unnecessary. I gave up my own smart phone a year ago and have seen literally no negative side effects to not having it. No amount of “convenience” is worth the risk.
