I have a pretty nice watch that I never wear, it was a birthday present and it only cost the person about $110. I told them I wanted it really badly because I liked the way it looked and I also told myself I'd wear it everyday, of course that was a lie. It's been sitting in the box mostly, I just never have a reason to wear it. I suppose I could wear it to a job interview, or perhaps on a date, maybe even some formal event.
Does anyone here have a fancy/expensive watch? Do you even wear it? And if so, when? I wouldn't mind wearing mine everyday but I'm afraid it makes good and bad statements such as I value accessorizing and it makes me stand out, but I also feel like people are judging me for wearing such a nice looking watch. I mean, sure they can be jealous but usually jealous people get envious and that turns into disdain and hate, obviously I shouldn't care what strangers think but first impressions mean a lot. Someone might admire your fancy watch and it could provide a positive effect, though you have some who might think "Oh look at this guy with his fancy watch, I bet he is rich or thinks he is all that" I don't know if people actually say this, or think like this. I'm probably just overreacting and being autistic.
I've actually got a collection of watches. Most of them relatively inexpensive (under $1,000) but a few expensive ones as well. I rotate to a different watch every week. I wear a watch every day and it feels weird if forget to put one on. I've basically been wearing watches since I was a little kid and my parents got me one to help me learn to tell time. In my experience 99% of people don't care and don't say anything and the remaining 1% who do notice and say something it's always a compliment.
What kind of fancy watch only costs $110?
The outfit/style needs to match. formal clothes with formal watches, etc.
I collect watches, and feel naked if I'm not wearing one. These days no one cares or even pays attention to it, unless it's kids and smart watches. The only people that would even notice are watch heads, and most times they're just looking for a new fix. A nice 100 dollar watch, isn't showing off. That's an everyday wear watch depending on your style of dress. So in short, anybody who cares won't think you're showing off, and the rest probably won't notice.
yes you are being fucking autistic. NO DO NOT BUY A FUCKING $110 watch. Save up and get something half decent. Worst thing ever is having a literal band of shit around your arm.

There's nothing wrong with cheap watches for everyday wear. Something that if it gets beat, you won't care as much. I've got sub hundred dollar watches, that I wear more than ones that I dropped thousands on. They sit on my shelf, rarely seen in public.

Why buy watches if you arent going to wear them you fuckin retard

>falling for the watch meme
It's 2016. Just use your phone like a normal person.
You know who wears watches? Children born in the 80's. You know what they wear? Some shit with mickey mouse on them.
You are literally worse than a child if you wear a watch. If you have a "smart" watch, just kill yourself. You will never get any pussy with one of these things on your wrist because everyone will correctly assume that you're mentally disabled.

Have a $400 watch I got for graduation that I wear pretty much every time I leave the house.
Lots of people are like "why do you need a watch? You can check the time on your phone lol", yet I always seem to be the one to know the time first when people ask and everyone else goes digging through their pockets.
It's also somewhat of a small talk starter. People notice it, probably more so because not many people wear watches (it is pretty minimalistic), so I get some comments about it. There's been a few people that, like you said, kind of assumed I was some stuck up asshole for wearing a watch (same people that ask why I have it when I can use my phone) but I just say I like it and it was a gift.

My parents bought me a golden watch for a couple grand and I wear it everywhere. Wore it just about everyday since I was 15 and never got any odd looks or anything. I doubt people will care much, if anything, they will be jealous that it looks so expensive but they will never judge you upon it. It's not a negative thing to show that you have the money to buy such things (even if someone bought it for you, but that doesn't matter since they won't know)
Don't overreact, you can wear it whenever you want.
>using anything but a pocket watch
I wear a 120 pound watch that I got when I was younger. I plan to get a better one when I come out of uni

First off you can buy watches that LOOK expensive for that price, you just have to go to the right store. For instance the watch I was talking about is an Armani watch, even though Armani isn't known for watches it's still a popular designer brand name. It's jet black with gold numbers on the face, I think it looks really stylish and quite expensive.
Trust me some watches can pass for being expensive, people can't tell how much a watch is unless it's something like Rolex. But if a watch LOOKS expensive then people will think "Wow, that looks expensive. I bet he paid a lot for it." It doesn't matter if it isn't a Rolex or some expensive watch, my point is you can find designer brand watches by popular companies that LOOK expensive.
I've been starting to collect watches. Broke as fuck so i'm only able to afford watches that look nice, but are actually pleb-tier watches. I have been complimented on them on several occasions. The fact that they look expensive impresses people enough for them to compliment me.
