“ We promise it’s not just jewelry for men, promise, because men don’t wear jewelry. This is just a tool, and maybe a status symbol, but definitely not in the way jewelry can be a status symbol.”

Honestly over smart watches. Back to my Casio Wave Ceptor!
I would honestly enjoy a watch like that if it didn't have 6768342 pieces of text on it. I'd rather have to read the manual and have a less cluttered looking watch. For now, I'll stick to my automatic Seiko.

There's definitely value in not constantly being tethered to a device reminding you how many steps you've taken, e-mails, etc. Also I'm reminded me of a quote:
“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
ape-descended
It's very popular to call humans some variant of this, and while it's correct, it also implies that humans are no longer apes. They are.

Father, I cannot click the watch
Dearest birthing parent of mine, this timepiece responds not to my attempts at manipulation
To whom it may concern (the progenitor of my very existence):
The clockwork temporal measurement device strapped 'pon the writhing fleshy tentacle protruding from mine own thorax remains sullen and unchanging despite my best efforts at provocation.
Please advise.
