I still wear one as it is inconvenient to take my cell phone from my purse when I want to know the time. I should learn to tell time by watching the sun but here in perennially overcast NW Washington, that is difficult to do. It is just a basic Swiss Army analog watch.

Yes, the occasional overcast days are what caused me to do the same.
What does it matter? I see a watch as a practical thing rather than a fashion statement. I find my watch more convenient than my phone as I am not one of those people holding my phone all day.
If you like wearing a watch wear one. If you don't like them, don't wear that needs. No one will care what you do either way.
I have always worn an analog watch, although one was both analog and digital. The current one, which has lasted over 15 years of abuse (G-Shock), never needs winding, and is solar powered (I do nothing special). I don't have to worry about recharging it, and only having a day or two of power, or scratching it. And I just look at my wrist, and presto.
Do you think that wristwatches (non-smartwatch) are coming back in style again?
It seems like I've been seeing a few pop up in random places by people I've never seen wearing them, in recent months.
Wasn't aware they were ever OUT of fashion for a well-dressed man.
That, a wedding band and "maybe" a wrist band of some kind are about the limits for bling men are socially allowed to wear, per the fashion police.
Speaking of smartwatches...what I call fitness watches...bought a Garmin MARQ Expedition some months ago, to monitor progress of my weight loss plus track activities. It barely passes the nerd-test, being smaller and far less ugly than my otherwise highly useful Garmin Fenix 5X. The latter was big, black, and was what it was...this is best compromise I could come up with at the moment.
My Ulysse Nardin Marine Chrono just sits there on my wrist and looks good. Oh, and tells the time and date, too.
Location: As of 2022….back to SoCal. OC this time!

IMO they never went out....they serve a function for some ppl like glasses or sports bras. It's only the styles that change or come & go. BUT just like glasses, you can find all kinds to match your style or needs.
I like bracelet watches that glide on with other bangles.
