Because some people like wearing watches.

To say this is a watch is like saying your phone is a clock. This is much more than just a watch. Take a look at what it does and you'll see that many who are active runners, hikers, cyclists, etc. track their progress through these wrist computers with built in GPS, barometric altimeters, heartbeats monitors, etc.
That's the only justification for my use...I never expected to wear a watch again either, but I love mine.
Doesn't really apply to these types of watches as they are borderline smart watches, with GPS, NFC, heart rate sensor, notifications and alerts, etc.
But even if you were talking about traditional watches, believe it or not, there are people like me who are not attached to their phone, I don't want to look at my phone if I don't have to.

It's kinda nice just to glance at ur wrist instead of getting a phone out & looking at it (plus I get distracted & think of something I need to do or check) watches can save a bunch of $$

In military context, cell phones can be used by adversaries to target your position. That's what Russia did in Ukraine.
My G Shock can receive solar power and syncs to atomic time via radio signals. Stays within 1 second of GPS time. Got it "Used - Very Good" from Amazon for about $50 six years ago.

Watches are still relevant.
