They might look nice, but they're one of the least practical things you could spend money on. Being fashionable means being fashionable today, few people can or should try to pull off what was fashionable 60 years ago.

Watches are one of the only pieces of flair a guy can wear. A great looking watch, at any price point, absolutely adds value to the outfit. Sure, we all haves phones in our pocket. But instead of reaching into your suit, or your jeans, and lighting up your face with the lock screen, you can subtly look down at your wrist and know what time it is. When you are in a dark theatre, it is much more convenient and respectable to look at your wrist as opposed to lighting up your seat with your iPhone screen.
A watch may be unpractical, but so are ties, pocket squares, and belts (in some cases). How can only a few people pull off a watch, which was fashionable 60 years ago?
A fitbit, Ironman, calculator, or Apple style watch does not go with a suit in the same way that a ball cap or New Balance sneakers don't go with a suit. Those are two different styles. Similarly a Rolex looks pretty dumb when you are on a bike ride.
