Who Still Wears Pocket Watches?

It seems that cell phones have become the new pocket watch. When I think of an actual pocket watch I imagine a 19th century train conductor pulling out his pocket watch to see what time it was. According to this wikipedia article men considered wrist watches feminine until World War 1 when officers began to wear wrist watches to access the time more easily. Now women are no longer viewing pocket watches as too masculine. With some new pocket watches being made very small, pocket watches are now viewed as a piece of jewelery that can be very feminie especially if worn on on a necklace.
