It's a bit redundant these days... I guess if you find yourself without your phone it can be handy. Nice to have a countdown timer. Looking forward to the schedule function in the DBX-100...
I think it's a bit of a bummer that this sort of watch that has a zillion functions and runs years without a battery change has gone away. Smart watches (AFAIK) are all tethered to an app you have to hope doesn't disappear one day, and are like half an inch thick; doesn't strike me as all that smart. I dig the elegance of something approaching a PDA that fits under your shirt sleeve and draws a handful of milliamps.
But if you like purity and want something super minimal that just tells the time, it's hard to go past Swatch Skin. This bad boy is 4mm thick, and retailed for like $150 last century, although I think I paid about 2/3 of that. Then there's the Skin Chronograph at 6.5mm; that's pretty nice, although the extra functions have stopped working on this one... Maybe it just needs a new cell.

My comment was more about the data bank watches having 20 names and numbers.
As a child I doubt I had 20 peoples numbers. Or anyone that I would call. Using a landline used to be very expensive.
Also have a few of the swatch skin watches, all bought in duty free, and all older models and on sale so none were more than 30.

Data bank that can store up to 20 names and numbers.
