    I grew up in poverty and never had a watch until my grandfather gave me a modest one for my high school graduation. It was beautiful. It made me feel powerful. However, as years went on in the working world, my watch started causing me a lot of anxiety. I became obsessed with what time it was, how much time I had left to get a task done, etc. I was counting every minute. I hated the watch and I hated work. So one morning, I left my watch at home. The day went by with ease. The anxiety of a formal schedule was gone. I felt peace! That was 1983. I’ve never worn one since. Of course now we have clocks on our smart phones. But I rarely even look at that either. 😊

      For several years I stopped using a calendar and watch, just to feel free.
      However, at times a watch is very practical, and it lets you keep track of time in a discrete way. Even having a phone out in the open during a meeting or social event, sends a message that you are not giving the other person(s) your full attention. (At a dinner it's downright bad manners.)
      Interestingly, my millenial daughter began wearing a watch in her teens, for the same reasons I mentioned.
      I'm the happy owner since 40 years of a Breitling. No one can really tell, but yes, it does make me feel very well dressed. It does add a tiny bit of self confidence.

    My 60s mechanical Flica watch holds a bittersweet significance for me. It was my paternal grandmother's, a woman I never knew. She worked at the Geneve Flica factory before the quartz crisis and passed away when my dad was only 12. Her watch is the only link I have to her, and its ticking hands remind me to treasure the time I have before it too runs out. My dad gave it to me the day I got my technical degree as a touristic guide. I find talking about the watch and its history is a great way to connect with other watch enthusiasts and somehow sometimes it starts amazing and deep conversations about other topics with fascinating people.

      Watches and watch collecting is a whole sub-culture going back Cartier or before.
      If you're a car collector or guitar collector are you a Narcissist?
      From $10.00 to 1 million dollars , if you like it and can afford it? What difference does it make?
      If you collect Michael Jordan sneakers and only display them, or wear the reissues while having originals in a display case at home, you're a Collector.

    A wrist watch is one of the few pieces of jewelry / adornments a man can wear without screaming - "this guy is wearing jewelry!" A lady can (and perhaps be expected to) wear jewelry to go with the occasion and dress - ear rings, necklace, rings, etc. add to the look on a well dressed woman. If a man wears more than a signet ring - even tie tack it more often brings down the look and even the status of an otherwise well dressed gentleman.

      No kidding. Men get looked down for wearing necklaces after age 30, especially after age 40, especially if you are out of shape. People think you're a sleazeball trying to relive your glory years, while women can wear necklaces and other jewelry until they are over 100. Watches are the only piece of jewelry a male can wear when he's 5 and 105.

      A young watchmaker named Edwin Fear established a workshop and showroom in 1846 at Nos. 33-35 Redcliff Street in Bristol. It was a family business, so the name "Fears" referring to them the Fears-family. I think the psychological effect of this is feeling proud for being a family member or to pass on the cultural heritage of owning watch, which belongs to an old traditional English family.

My mobile devices and PCs I work on show the time, and it's enough. :) Besides, there are obvious reasons not to wear one: I can't scratch or break what I don't wear, it doesn't draw the attention of bad people, it doesn't heat against or cause sweat on my skin, it doesn't create the habit of constantly checking it for no good reason (including to show it off), etc.

      I wear a watch for time keeping. I don't need it to have a sense of purpose and accountabilty. I can achieve them without wearing one.

      I’m not gunna chase rabbits. The purpose of a watch is to help us keep to a schedule. That is accountability. I use my watch in order to arrive at work on time (schedule). Why? Because I’m accountable to my employer.
      So my watch is a tool, that I use daily.

    I wonder whether this is also something that signifies that you’re a working adult. We have a new coworker, 24 years old, and she said that she felt like buying a watch now because everyone here had a watch around their wrist. No one of us wears expensive watches, it’s just the fact that we have them in an era, where people could read the time on a cellphone.
    I‘ve never noticed.

    Interesting video. Where would you place the 'field' watch? Would it be a sport subset or more in the 'tool' category?

    Dude, I've been wearing a wristwatch ever since I was a kid, cheap or expensive doesn't really matter to me. It should tell me the time right. I've worn all sorts of watches, quartz to Gshock to Selfwinding to ecodrive to rolex n all. I just want it to tell me the time right. I prefer stainless steel bracelets over anything. Don't care what I'm wearing.

      I don't think you don't care what you are wearing if you have a rolex, otherwise you would just stick to casios and JCpenney watches

    Got my old seiko kinetic recased and banded with my stored, brand new 27yr spares for my sons wedding. Looked slick and unreal. Ive now reversed back to the scratched beatup kit and love it just the same!
