Time has come to a full circle. We tell you how. So, earlier people would prefer simple analogue watch to know the time. Then we were introduced to smartwatches which boast of presenting everything on our wrist. Heart rate? Check. Time to stand? Check. Time to drink water? Check. Mails? Check. And more. Now, most of us are shifting back to analogue watches ‘coz humko simple life chahiye without being loaded with too much information.

A watch ad which has gone viral on Twitter talks about exactly what we are trying to say.
A Twitter user, @sammillencramer, posted a photo of the advertisement on the micro-blogging platform in which we can see an analogue wrist watch being presented on a billboard. The tagline of the ad goes like, “Know the time without seeing you have 1,249 unanswered emails.”

Always a loyalist to traditional watches. A smart watch is something that I’ll never buy in my lifetime.

I ditched the Apple watch a couple years ago because it was adding virtually nothing positive to my life. Just stress from notification after notification… And I turned most of them off!

The reason why I don’t want a smartwatch. Not knowing is bliss.

So, what do you think of their branding? Yay or nay? We can surely say that with such message, this minimalistic advertising took the cake already. ‘Coz we definitely don’t need to know the time to breathe. LOL!
