In Reply to: How are they jewelry ? ... posted by reelsmith. on May 2, 2021 at 08:48:46:
primarily for visual appeal and to announce, "Look at my status!" Most guys don't care about design, so it's usually not about an appreciation of form, either. I mean, how many guys care about the design of other things, i.e. silverware, couches... clothing?If it were about telling-time, the wearer would sport a Timex-type of piece (unless one is a diver or astronaut...). Nothing wrong with wearing body adornment that is metallic; it is jewelry, though. Primitive men also wore adornment. Anyhow, these watches certainly are impractical. One has to be careful about it: how many things in a house are easier to steal, pawn, or for a thief to surreptitiously walk away with? And wearing it on a bike trip? Right, $10,000 on your wrist, shattered in a fall. Or just worn doing regular stuff and the crystal gets scraped...
