Selecting a watch is a matter of personal style. Go down to the local department store and start looking at all the watches they have. Ask the person helping you to let you try on various ones. Even better if this person is a woman, because she has to be nice to you!
As far as function over form, how long does it take you to pull out your phone and look at it versus turning your wrist and checking. How much does it interrupt conversation when you do? Are you also distracted and consider checking your email, texts, or another app on the phone?
When someone pulls out a phone, I always feel it is more of an interruption of the flow of conversation, whereas a watch can be checked discretely, if you're clever. Overtly checking the time often communicates that you are bored; were you enjoying yourself, you'd not be concerned with the time at all. "Time flies" right?
Women notice these things.
