August 25th, 2007 - Ipod + Wristwatch = Staying Power for Watches
Wanting to prove that wristwatches are here to stay I spent time on the internet researching evidence of the staying power of watches. And what I found is that it is here to stay…if only because of the iPod. Ok. The truth is it is wristwatches are here to stay with or without the iPod. Compatibility with the iPod is useful but to me more of a symbol of the adaptability of wristwatches. As long as wristwatch designers and manufacturers can come up with something new and relevant to the current generation then watches are here to stay.

Of course for watch lovers, collectors, and fashionistas “traditional” watches will always be a valued commodity.
