If you have a cell phone, do you still wear a watch?

I have a little wooden box with 11 watches in it, all accumulated since getting my first watch, a Timex, at age 15.
All the watches have dead batteries in them.
Last time I wore a watch was in 2007, after I got my first cellphone.
Coincidentally, my last watch was also a Timex; the Waterbury Chronograph.
 

I carry a pocket watch arround in my jeanes pocket, I have four pocket watches. I have a cell phone and it is a very basic Tracfone the smalest cheapest one that they have. I use it only for its telephone service and it just sits by my computer in my office. When I go somewhere I will put my cell phone in my shirt pocket just in case I need it.
 
My grandfather always had a pocket watch. I doubt that he ever had a wristwatch. If he did, he must not have cared for it, because I never knew him to be without his pocket watch. My father had a wrist watch, but he had owned a pocket watch at one time. He bought me one, and I thought it was cool, if not as practical. I felt proud of it, and it made me feel older. I was in grade school. My friends thought it was weird. They didn't make fun of it. It was just interesting weird to them.
