In olden days, men used pocket watches
in World War I. But they found it difficult to see time. So they started using wrist
watch. Since then, it has become fashion accessory for men. In fact, the first wrist watch created was called
as Santos. It was named after a pilot who asked the watch makers to create one
for him to see time in flight. In olden
days, it was the only way to know time. But with the invention of cell phone, this
perspective has changed as time can be tracked by cell phone and is available
for all, at lower prices. This made every wrist watch manufacturer to create
new designs and introduce them into market as men’s fashion watches.
