Well a watch is both a tool for representing time and a piece of jewelry.
Everyone makes a decision on a watch by balancing these two against cost.
To some, the way a watch looks is more important than accuracy. Many of the fashion watches are like this. You can buy a fashion watch with a quartz movement and no indices on the face. So you precisely know, within a variance of +/- 15 seconds a month that it is somewhere about 10 minutes past the hour??? Yikes. The Frau is like this.
There are people who buy Rolex watches and never bother to sync them. They just wear them. Double yikes
Then there the other idiots who fixate on accuracy and variance and deny the fact that most people in the world don't operate at high accuracy times. The meeting starts at 10:00 so plan on arriving at 9:55. If you show up at 9:59:59.9 you most likely will have to sit at the table as all the good seats are taken. Since we have no actual friends, we bicker to ourselves that the meeting should have started 22 seconds ago.
Sad
These people buy a watch based more on variance than appearance and are the ones that keep rich Swiss/Japanese watch makers rich.
Double sad
More normal humans want something that is accurate enough, good looking enough, and inexpensive enough. While horologists look down on these people, the people don't notice as they are busy going out with girls and actually enjoying life!
At least I can spend my time on the internet looking at Time.gov and syncing anything I can including the cat.
Protip: The variance of a cat makes syncing rather pointless. But that does not mean that I stop trying.
I don't have a watch problem. Other people think I have a watch problem.
