I don't notice watches unless they blind my eyes.I'd rather men not cover themselves with any jewelery.
If you must wear one, make sure it's not ostentatious.

I want a watch with some class. Give me a Patek Philippe Calatrava or a vintage Omega Seamaster on shark mesh. The richest man I ever dated wore a Timex Weekender and had his maid sew him grosgrain watchbands to match his ties.


This is hilarious. Well done.

side question - can someone tell me what a sports watch is? My husband wants one for his birthday and I don't know where to begin.

Because I don't want to dig my phone out of my bag every time I want to know what time it is.

It depends on your income and age. A bit obnoxious for an older guy to bring out his phone to check the time.

Also, I agree that PP shouldn't make assumptions about Feds. I'm a Fed with a trust fund and a high earning spouse. The big firm attorneys I work with on a regular basis wouldn't know this unless we start talking about our neighborhoods, where our kids go to school, etc. And there are plenty of Feds whom I work with that also have high-earning private sector spouses.


Please go back to your trust fund bubble. In almost a decade of federal service I have rarely seen a Fed wear a flashy watch.


Not the PP. But out of curiosity, why do you assume that expensive=flashy? My Calatrava is one of the most unobtrusive watches you can imagine. Unless you squint to read the tiny label, you would have no idea that it is a Patek watch.


Ok not flashy, how about incredibly pompous because god nothing is worse than someone who thinks they've unlocked a superior code by purchasing something mass made, expensive, and supposedly under the radar.


And how is this different than wearing a diamond (engagement) ring? Personally, I love my Patek watch (with mechanical movement) and cannot understand why anyone would spend their money on diamond ring over a classic, elegant watch.


Because a diamond ring is more feminine than a watch.

I do not notice them, but I also know nothing about men's watches. My huband notices nice watches. After my husband got an expensive watch we had dinner with friends and a female friend commented on his watch- she is the opposite of me in that she has expensive taste and knows about that sort of thing. So i think the people who notice are the ones who know what nice watches are.

I definitely notice a nice watch and shoes, but mainly I'm all about a nice shirt/tie combo!
