Why not get a smartwatch? Well, there are actually several reasons:
- price. It is still going to be more expensive than a cheap dumb watch
- lifespan. Electronics generally won't live more than 3-5 years on average. A good watch can outlive you and your children.
- too much feature. The same way some people still buy dumb phones because they just want to phone and text, some people only want time out of their watch (recent threads about iPod sells explain that pretty well, albeit for a different product).
- fashion, as you said. Some people want to look good, and a smartwatch with a digital screen (gasp!) may be against their sense of aesthetics
