What one person said is that if you look at your phone for the time, you'll notice the notifications. When you notice the notifications, you'll want to read them. Once you read them, you'll think about checking other things.

Checking the time on your phone can easily turn into spending an hour sucked in by social media. Using a dumb watch can help you avoid one of those traps.

Honestly, I would guess that, at your age, you've probably figured this out.

The recommendation about the specific watch is that it's retro (they date back to the 70s, although maybe not that specific model); the battery will literally last years before needing to be changed; you can change the battery; the watches are robust - get one now and it could easily last you your lifetime; they're waterproof - go swimming with it; they have many functions - alarm, clock, date, stopwatch, etc; it's dependable - unless the battery runs out, which it almost never will, you'll always have the time, even if you're lost in the woods.

It's a great suggestion, and these Casios (there are a great many models) have become popular again.
