Wrist Watch Review: Why you need to buy one

Has anyone ever told you that wrist watches are obsolete? For those of you under the false notion that watches are no longer needed, and simply used as accessories, allow us to explain. Even though most of us carry a smartphone or have a computer nearby to reference the time, checking these devices actually disrupts productivity.   

How often do you check your mobile device for just the time? For most of us, it is easy to sneak a glance at a missed call or new text message that comes in when your original intention was to simply check the time. These seemingly short distractions can actually add up and derail your productivity.  

For this reason, at Innovatively Organized we recommend wearing a watch and buying a clock for your office. Throughout the day, having the time easily visible will allow you to stay on schedule, without losing productivity. Here are a few of our recommendations:

For the Visual Person - you will probably benefit more from a radial clock or watch, which allows you to see the passage of time as the hands on the clock move.

For the Analytical Person - we suggest a digital clock or watch so you can quickly check the time and maybe even have a timer built into the device.

Wristwatch

I have worn a watch for years. I'm not late for anything - if I am late it's because of something out of my control.

I prefer a simple analog watch, I need to know what time it is here and now.

My everyday watch is a Bulova Marine Star. It's got a great classic look with a ruby crystal that has never scratched.
