Show Me Your Watches

It alerts me of texts and phone calls and meeting reminders, which is convenient when I need my phone on silent, and I can even respond or answer calls.

It has an altimeter and barometer that I sometimes like looking at.

It also displays the time, which I've probably referenced a handful of times. I used to pretend look at my wrist to make a point about being late, but now it's probably only like half as funny since there's an actual watch there.

I get that. Great for you.
I like the mystery / complication of a mechanical device that is capable of keeping close to perfect time. It is quite amazing when you dive into the workings of a mechanical watch that is accurate to a second or two a day.
