For once I completely understand where your coming from. There is a great deal of sentimental value in a watch. A certain degree of dignity and pride in having such a nice and functional thing. Unfortunately I have long since stopped wearing watches for that reason. The mental anguish that comes from breaking a nice watch. I always had a penchant for shattering the crystal, or dropping it and causing damage.

It has been a couple years since I wore a watch, and now usually use my cell phone. I am just not in the mood to wear another one just to break it and feel guilty. I dare not wear my jewelry for the same reason. I can't bear the thought of losing it, or damaging it.

That might be part of the equation. Unless your in a position to be extremely careful with them they can be a liability. That and being in a throw away society once broke its not worth fixing.
