I think you're quite underestimating how many times a person takes their phone out and it's way more than they turn their wrist around to see their watch

I bought a watch about half a year ago just because I was tired of taking out my phone to check the time, so I know what I’m talking about.

Yeah you are talking about yourself and only yourself.

Surely I’m not the only person on the planet who finds it useful, otherwise there would be no cheap watches because nobody would buy them.
