The Amish are not allowed to use watches. They are a functional item but threaten the values of community togetherness (this is usually a value that items are checked against when bishops discuss its allowance). Watches are a way for Amish individuals to check the time, and as such, support "rush" and hurry. These contradict the value of Gelassenheit, which encourages yielding and a slow lifestyle. Reflection has nothing to do with the item. In fact Amish individuals are allowed to own mirrors in their homes, they are just usually fewer and smaller.
