One big reason.

*Yes I realize phones can get hacked too. But if you can't have a Phone OR a smart watch, how exactly does one track elapsed time? Asking the TOC every 5 mins for an update will get old real quick. IFYKYK. 😂
You could always add one of the Armitron Griffy's to the collection.
Amritron also had several LED models in the 70's apparently too so they aren't just cloning the Hamilton.
And $60 is more palatable TBH.
As @asatiir said, same style.
I have held one multiple times and really just can't justify the pricetag and/or there's other watches I would rather spend that money on. So for me it was the Griffy.
Same thing with the Dune Watch from Hamilton. I actually think the digital variant looks killer. But that price tag will keep me off it, unless I stumble across one on eBay for a ridiculous price.
