It's a fashion accessory meant to signal that the wearer doesn't care about fashion!
Joking aside, I do appreciate that aesthetic personally. The "function dictating form" design language is attractive to me. And there's that added benefit that those "tool watch" kinds of designs generally allow for less delicate handling, and less averse reactions to signs of wear. But of course it's not an ACTUAL or in any way important tool for me.
