The rise of the digital age
Inna dis digital age we livin’ in, everything done gone virtual and electronic. We got dem fancy smartphones dat can do everyting from tellin’ time to orderin’ pizza. Who need a clunky old watch when you got all dat power right inna your pocket? People nowadays prefer checkin’ their phone instead of glancin’ at a watch on their wrist.
Fashion trends change up
You know how fashion be changin’ faster dan Usain Bolt runnin’? Same ting go fi watches. Back inna di day, havin’ a shiny gold or silver watch was da bomb diggity. But now people more into minimalist style and sporty vibes. Dem want sleek designs and lightweight materials, not some heavy metal hangin’ off dem arm.
We always runnin’ late anyways
If there’s one tings Jamaicans and Koreans have in common, it’s our relaxed attitude towards time. We always runnin’ on “island time” or “Korean standard time.” So why bother wearin’ a watch if you just gonna be late anyways? It’s like tryna put lipstick pon a pig – pointless!

Fashion trends done switch up, and we no longer care ’bout bein’ punctual like we used to. So next time somebody ask yuh why you no wear a watch, just tell dem say “Time keeps movin’, but watches stay behind.”
