A few mere seconds doesn't make for a very strong argument in my opinion. A better argument would be for the aesthetics.

In the end, a watch is a single purpose device. I have no room in my life for such a single purpose device. I care enough gadgets with me at all times, I don't need a watch that I have to take on and off for showers and be wary of snagging on things all the time. I'll gladly pull my phone out of my pocket if I need to see what time it is, and in a few extra seconds I can check the weather, my e-mail, FB, and a dozen other things
I wear a watch because I like having a delicate and brilliant piece of mechanical engineering on my wrist (or electrical engineering if I'm wearing a quartz watch-- I wear mechanical, though). It reminds me how ingenious humanity is.
