Wristwatches have never gone out of style anywhere, where I've lived. What's this thread about?
It's about certain young people who have issues with their parents, for whatever reason. They take something that their parents value (or imagine that they might value) and try to destroy it. The goal is to freak out their parents.
I don't wear them anymore but, if I did, you can bet I'd get a mechanical watch (they're what's really coming back).
Between not needing a watch for the time, and the ridiculous battery requirement, I said "enough" to wearing one. IMO, they're solely a piece of jewelry now.

Yeah, not much of a quartz movement person myself. Manual wind or an Auto movement only for me. I actually had a really nice Omega Seamaster with a quartz movement that I took in on a trade, ended up giving it to my dad.
I work at a school, with small children. We are not allowed to carry cell phones on us or have them with us during the workday. Much of the day, we are in classrooms with wall clocks, so it's not an issue, but when we are outside, I need to keep track of the time, so I wear a wristwatch. My students (ages 3-4) are ALWAYS asking to see it, and are fascinated by the fact that I have "a clock on my arm," because they DO NOT KNOW what a "watch" is. They only know cell phones and wall clocks (and pretty much only know wall clocks from school).
I also noticed when I worked with older children, preteens and teens, that they are so accustomed to the digital time display on their phones, many don't know HOW to tell time with an analog wall clock. Some teens do, but a surprising number are really rusty on it. Hardly any preteens do.
