Why is wearing a watch a sign of masculinity?

Use your fucking phone brah, for real.

Since smart phones have been a thing, there's been NO NEED FOR A WATCH.
>>
It's man jewelry. It's not for function. It's for decoration.
>>
>>29929743
I wore a watch when I was young (teens), but now I don't wear one. It is pointless. I can just check my phone.
>>
>>29929743
It's an accessory.
The same reason why you would wear pants and a dress shirt to a date instead of torn jeans and a t-shirt.
It's to create an image of yourself that leaves you feeling confident
>>
>>29929743
>robot with a smartphone
Where is the logic behind this?
The games are shit even compared to current handhelds.
You ain't got nobody to talk to.

Seems more manly to ask a stranger for the time.
>>
>>29929856

And why wouldn't you feel confident wearing whatever the fuck you want?
>>
>>29929743
I'll tell you what man...
Leo is the only fucking sign of masculinity you'll ever need

>>29929743
A watch doesn't need to be charged every 7 hours of usage. They also look better. And it's more convenient to check the time on your watch then to take out your phone.
>>
>watch OR smart phone
>implying I don't wear an apple watch
Joke's on you OP.
>>
>>29929870
It's a personal computer with internet in your hands, why wouldn't you want one?

Also emulators up to Dreamcast
>>
>>29929870
Stop being so normiephobic, a smartphone is just a handheld computer. You can shitpost on 4chan from the toilet and watch porn under your covers, it's great.
>>
>>29929895
Because most people aren't sociopaths entirely disconnected from others opinions and feelings?
>>
I ride a motorcycle. I can't take out my phone will riding, but I can glance down at my wrist.
I have a job, I can't take out my phone in front of clients, that's unprofessional, but I can glance down at my wrist.
>>
>>29929870
Seriously. I don't have a phone on principle. I can't think of anything more annoying than the sound of a phone ringing.
>>
>>29929743
because not every man has tiny beta wrists so they're not insecure about a watch sitting on them
>>
>>29929743
B-but I have a smart watch.

Who the fuck lets others decide how confident they are? Are you some kind of omega cuck?

There are numerous good emulators and
you can shitpost in the bathroom, it's great.

Why do you repeat the same non-argument again? Read what i wrote.
>>
>>29930082
I have a skinny wrist, the key is getting smaller watches. Avoid the gaudy expensive nigger watches.
Vintage watches were made smaller, as are some Asian watches.
>>
>>29929743
You wear a watch as an accessory, just like you might wear a tie clip with a particular suit. Bitches like it as well.
>>
>>29929743
yup, my dad offered me a watch a few weeks ago worth a grand, i straight up refused because i wouldnt even use it.

There's a lot of nice watches out there, even if your wrist is only ~6''.

Look at vintage Omega Seamasters. Most of them are ~35MM and look great

Shit controls for emulators, good luck playing any non-strategy game.

>>29930032
A handheld computer which is much less efficient for typing and browsing. Not worth the monthly bill imo.

>>29930096
Can't deal with those controls. I already have other devices that emulate portably with great controls.

Aside from bathroom shitposting, which I'm not into, doesn't seem useful for a robot like me.

Turboautists will have a plastic watch with a built-in calculator.

The typing took some getting used to yeah but it's not any different than having learned to type on an asdf keyboard in the first place. The autocomplete usually makes up for the small screen and sausage fingers.

As far as browsing goes, what do you mean? It's still more or less the same websites.


Overall though, yes, it is just a luxury and a glorified toy - but it's still loads of fun and extremely convenient. The games are great too, even the free to play shit.

If somebody wants to robb you, thats something you can give to him.

having a watch dont make anybody attractive, well it does to niggers who want to rob rich white boys anyway

im a good lookin guy, i dont need a watch to feel confident.

putting a rolex on a fat neckbeard autist from r9k will not automatically create a good image.

>>29930510
Just get a Timex. They're cheap, look good, and tough as shit.

Today I tried on a watch that grandma gave ne years ago, a simple and thin but elegant kmart watch. I didn't used it before because my forearm was too skinny. After more than 4 years I tried it again today. Still too skinny. It makes me sad that I can't use her present because I really like the watch. Maybe one day it will fit.
>>
>>29929743
I don't care about any of this. Pulling my phone out is a hassle and I hate the thing anyway. I just want to check the time, it's not fasion related at all.

one of the few means the autist has towards something like happiness is having things that others cannot or do not know how to obtain

So is Leo Lady-killer over there >>29929743 and he still wears a watch, and gets a haircut, and wears clean shirt, and washed himself everyday, and shaves himself, etc.

Being an ugly neckbeard, your only option is "fake it til you make it bro", and dressing like a Chad is the first step.

Much easier to look down at your wrist than get my hand in my pocket. I only look at my phone a couple times a day.

Time is a precious thing, communication with others probably isn't.

Even if you don't have a phone (wut?) time is literally everywhere too.

I would never date a man who does not own a watch.

Why do people like having computer screens (phone) nearly too small to see, yet have huge 60" tv at home?

Other people can't track you with a watch. Most watches, anyway. Plus I kind of hate fishing for my phone just to know the time.
