Watches are autistic. They just look stupid and unnecessary. Watches are pretty much for new-money douchebags and tryhards. You might as well wear a Livestrong bracelet, because no one is going to be impressed by your dadcore automatic movement watch. You probably think you look James Bond, but the truth is that you don't. You actually look like a nerd that is trying to look classy and refined when wearing a watch.

My advice: all watches. Don’t wear 'em. Why shouldn't you wear them? They look stupid and unnecessary. All. The. Time. Get real. Stop trying to look classy, because you are not classy and you are not refined. Wear another kind of accessory that looks good and doesn't make you look stupid.

The truth is, watches are obsolete nowadays. You should never buy or wear a watch. They are pretty much the fedora-level accessory. Let me tell you one thing. You will look autistic when you wear a watch. Again, never wear a watch. They look like shit.

If your wristwatch's function is just to tell the time, and you already have a cellphone, why bother wearing it? Notice how creative these watchmakers (those that manufacture watches that solely tell the time) have become? They have felt the dip on the demand of their product. I mean, why would you want two devices on you that tell the exact same time? Who doesn't have a cellphone in this day and age? If you still don't have a personal phone, and you are a salary man, you are excused to wear a watch since you have to keep track of your schedule. Other than that, your wristwatch is just another accessory to show off your fashion statement and spending power. Is this the case with you, watch wearers?

You can quickly glance at a watch during an interview, meeting, presentation or some other business related event and still look professional.

If you pull out your cell phone and look at the time you are going to look like an asshole.

Watches have become OBSOLETE.

Let's face it, there is a clock just about everywhere. On the VCR/DVD/cablebox, on the phone in the house. So there is no point wearing a watch in the house.

Let's go out! There is a clock in the car, and what is more important, on your cell, what is always with you, so there is absolutely no reason to wear a watch. Once you are at work, or in school, there are clocks everywhere.

I wonder how the watchmaking industry is doing in these days, specially that even quite good watches can be made for cheap, thus there isn't much profit in making them.

This is a new money attitude to the t. Which means you have no taste, and don't understand the subtleties of taste. You probably ask for ketchup at a michelin star restaurant, which you are eating at because you think it shows you are a person of taste.

That's not true

I haven't read this thread but I doubt people are actually criticizing new money, rather nouveau rich tendencies, go on chief keefs or soulja boys Instagram and tell me that it isn't new money at it's worst. Of course that isn't always the case though plenty of newly rich people are smart with their money.

Having conservative tastes is important for people that don't have a lot of money. Every purchase has a significant impact on income needed to stay afloat in the middle class. people with money can experiment with much easier they tend to after seemingly tacky fads.

If you'd said in the 14th Century that some day men (and maybe women if they played their cards right) would actually be wearing clocks, you would have been rightly burned as a witch. Nowadays, watches will soon evolve their way out of existence.

Of late, the poor old wristwatch has been deemed rather obsolete, with most people opting to use their phones as timekeeping devices. Since approximately 99.97% of people who currently enjoy Capitalism have cellphones, a glorified lady's bracelet just seems cumbersome nowadays.

Watches are the only jewelry a man can wear. You can say they're are useless, but seriously, you're on the /fa/ board, it's fucking hypocrite to talk about utility here.
Watches are useful when you're an adult, you don't want to look like those annoying teenagers constantly on their phone, texting, playing games, looking at time. It states that you're a grown up, the money you put into, the design that you will chose WILL reflect an image of what you are, if you have taste or not.
