I love mechanical watches and I wear them for me, not anyone else (the same can be said for a car). I appreciate the craftsmanship: from a factory built, inexpensive, Vostok Amphibia, that feels like it is made from recycled soviet era tin cans, all the way up to hand crafted, one man band, time piece, each one has charm and appeal.
However, and perhaps like Morgans, watches are often over looked by the younger generations and it isn't rare to hear "why do I need a watch, I've got a phone to tell time!"
The second tier to that conversation are people who wear an inexpensive digital watch (Casio F-91) and don't understand why you'd need/want anything else.
Quite possible not dissimilar to the argument as to why you need a Morgan when an econo box can get you there and, at times, in better comfort, and less chance of issue.
