Once watches were only expected to tell the time accurately. Horologists spent centuries perfecting reliable, accurate, durable watches that could be carried around.

Once upon a time the major goal for watchmakers was to make an accurate, reliable timepiece.
Fashions change. For a hundred years or more, pocket watches were the only alternative. They were everywhere, worn by railroad conductors, stock brokers and fathers.
The practice of measuring time goes back thousands of years. The most obvious example is noting the change of the seasons and the repetition of day followed by night, over and over.
Very few people really need a watch today - yet they continue to sell like iPods. Cell phones, computers, TV set boxes and just about anyplace in public will have something to tell you the current time.
For centuries there were no ‘analog’ timepieces, only clocks and (later) watches. The word was born when digital (usually electronic) watches came into being.
The dividing line may not be laser sharp, but there are traditionalists who prefer an analog watch and moderns who go for digital.
