I've always worn watches ever since I could remember but now I've transitioned ta a smartwatch but still with the traditional watchface. I need the secondhand for counting rates per minute at work. It's easier to just flip your wrist and count vs setting a counter on your watch, etc. Although I prefer smartwatches now for fitness tracking sometimes I still miss hearing the rhythmic tick of the secondhand when I'm alone. It's steady constant beat is quite soothing to the nerves.
