...they simply want to see what type of watch you wear.

Yeah, I'm a Horologist. It took me some years to recognize the syndrome. My wife pointed out my incessant need to accurately track time when I bought my first auto-winder. The soothing sounds of their motions have become somewhat of a sleep aid. And, helpfully, they keep my watches wound even when I'm away from home on trips. If any of you, my friends, are in Salt Lake City or Las Vegas and need a watch worked on, I'm your guy. I now have all the watch tools I need. Fortunately, they're so small they take up very little space.

Sadly, the new generation is not "into" watches. For, they carry their cell phones with them, that display the time. Fortunately, my Nephew (the doctor) is into automatic watches as well. We enjoy showing our collection to each other and discussing the merits/shortfalls of the same.
