Obviously plenty do. But to your point it seems a bit of a niche market. Considering a pretty good portion of those that do prefer the classic aesthetics I'm not sure how many are left to target.
I only wear a watch on my days off. I can't stand having one on when I'm working, but I suppose if most of your work revolves around talking and some light typing then a watch is a perfectly reasonable thing to wear.
The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people
worry than work.

Wherever I look, they're mostly worn as fashion item or status symbol.
These don't look too fashionable, and "nerd/geek" as status is not really desirable.
but people are buying these to use as niche fashion items - and telling everyone they're buying one.
btw do you know how you spot a watch hipster? has a watch - but uses a phone to check the time.

I do. All of you pulling out your smartphone to check the time look pretty stupid.
I do have a smartphone. I don't use it to see what time it is.

Maybe you look stupid for wearing a watch. Or maybe it's just personal taste and isn't worth the insults?
