The advent of the cell phone has changed our world dramatically. After all, it wasn’t that long ago that the need to make a phone call outside of the home sent us scrambling for a public payphone. But the cell phone has done more than put pay phones out of service.

Your standard smart phone replaces a number of other gadgets most folks used to carry around like a camera, date book and pager. But the cell phone’s biggest impact is in the world of wristwatches. There’s a whole generation growing up that has put their watches aside in favor of the built in clocks on telephones.

That’s too bad because there are some really great watches out there these days. Handsome military style watches like the Benchmade 755 are rugged, built to last and available for under $200. Built to military specifications, this unit comes with the standard NATO issued .22 mm wrist band.

The Traser P6600 is another well made tactical watch that may cause a person to forget that their cell phone has a clock. This stylish watch is designed for divers and is waterproof and easy to read in the dark. But anyone can enjoy its durable quality.

Smart phones can never fully replace great looking, well made watches.
