I think for most people, mobiles should be the new watches. You always have them with you, and they do the jobs of telling the time and being a status symbol. (But mine lives in my car, usually switched off in a storage compartment.)

Mobiles being a status symbol are so last century.
Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.
I love the old cheap vs. expensive watch statements
... a watch is an item of jewellery (one of the only ones a man can wear) and is no different to a ring, or a necklace insofar as you can pay barely anything, or silly money for them. The only difference is that a watch 'does' something.
Expensive watches are status symbols - nowt wrong with that.
status symbols yes. but also symbols of taste. i find most of the status watches are so intent on making a statement that they end up looking too flashy and therefore too tacky.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
