Way back in 1970’s, people would consider wearing an expensive watch a status insignia. Not any more unless you’re talking about a designer’s collections. Although a watch was essentially invented to tell us what it is, the device itself was challenged with keeping up with the changing time. That’s funny, isn’t that? Believe it or not, an ever-evolving technology has thrown many challenges to the watch manufacturers to come up with watches that not only tells the owner what time it is, but also helps them do the math, acts like a TV remote control and heck, even adds to their social standing! Now, call the last one a little over-the-top or blatantly ridiculous, it’s today’s reality.
Here are five reasons why you should wear a calculator watch:
It’s Cool: Whether you agree with it or not, they consider wearing a calculator watch in an effort to up their social status quotient. Most people believe calculator watches come with some cool quotient that add to the personality of the owner. In today’s world, where appearance sells like hot cakes, nobody minds spending a little to acquire a sexy little timepiece to boost their social standing and make a statement. If all these words sound pompous to you, just enter a socialite’s party and you will most likely come out wise.
It’s Your PDA: Yes, we’re all talking about Personal Digital Assistant. Once the PDA was everything to busy professionals replacing their personal secretary at work. Today, a calculator watch seems to have displaced the PDA altogether. The logic is simple: why carry an additional device when you can wear a timepiece that can do everything a PDA does? Seriously, a calculator watch does everything to save your day and keep your world in orbit. Reminding you of your next meeting, your next date, spouse’s anniversary, kid’s birthday, you name it.
It’s Your Remote Control: You’ve heard married couples fight over remote control, haven’t you? Now that you have a watch that lets you control the TV, you don’t necessarily need to fight over that remote device again. Well, a whole new fight can ensue though. But sadly, your calculator watch is not designed to control your spouse yet.
It Does The Math: Since the time immemorial, math continues to threaten the mankind. No wonder then why they consider testing your knowledge in math for nearly every job interview under the Sun. While we haven’t found an exact solution to overcome this fear, watch manufacturers are still trying to offer help in their best capacity: by presenting calculator watches that do the math for you. Go buy yourself one of those if math still continues to scare the pants off you!
Gee! It Tells You The Time Too: Seriously, just how many people still turn their wrist to see what time it is? With the invention of gadgets including smart phones, wrist watches have been stripped off their utility. Interestingly, modern manufacturers still manage to sell their watches off the selves. This is probably why calculator watches are still being designed to tell you what time it is of the day, although it is no longer being advertising as a time-keeping device.
