Exactly... The entire world seems to run on +/- 1 to 5 MINUTES from actual time.
The entire PRESENCE of a second hand on a watch gives NEEDLESS awareness and perceived importance to the concept of time accuracies of less than one minute.
I went for several years wearing a Breitling Aerospace--a watch with high accuracy, but no second hand. The seconds display was one of several modes on the lower LCD display and I kept that switched to show date instead. During that time, I learned that a second hand was completely unnecessary in daily use. The rare times I needed the seconds were for setting the watch and when using the chronograph.
The only other common use for a seconds hand is to quickly verify that the watch is actually running.
