Watches have a long history. Mechanical clocks were invented in Europe during the 14th century, and portable timepieces like pocket watches emerged in the 16th century. The modern wristwatch, as we recognize it now, gained popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with innovations like the wristwatch bracelet around the 1860s and mass production starting in the early 20th century.
The first poket watch was made in 1761 by John Harrison. The first wrist watch ever made was at the dawn of the 20th century. These wrist watches were only worn by women. All men still used pocket watches. It was only until the first world war that when the soldiers needed to use wrist watches (it would be impossible to take a pocket watch out of there pocket in battle) that men started to wear wrist watches. Half a century after men started wearing wrist watches did anyone invent digital watches.
There is a big difference between modern day watches and older watches. Specifically, older watches were usually of a better quality because they were made with nicer materials. New watches tend to be made of cheap parts that fall apart after a short period of time.
