Nah. Guys who love mechanical watches will always be around. A smartwatch is a very different animal.
I also disagree with one of the premises in the article, that watches are "passe" because people just use phones to check the time. A mechanical watch, new or vintage, does so, so much more than just telling us the time. It makes a statement on the wrist, among many other things.
That's like saying a car's only function is to get us from point A to point B. If that were the case, why wouldn't everyone just drive a Honda? (Nothing wrong with Hondas, of course, but you get the point.)
