It says I am willing to pay more for something that most people pay nothing for since they don't wear a watch.

Me thinks you're reading too much into wearing a freakin watch.

Wearing my luxury watch tonight at home and thought….why versus any watch. Asked Google search: Watch Shop Near Me | Chicago Watch Stores - Swiss Finetiming


Here are 6 things wearing a good watch says about you?

You are dependable.
Regardless of the style of watch, people who wear watches are seen as dependable and reliable. To others, seeing a watch on someone’s wrist says that that person is punctual and values not only his or her time but other people’s time. After all, time is money, friend.

You are practical.
There are many types of watches and most of them serve a purpose other than simply telling time. Watch-wearers who like adventure generally choose a watch that fits their lifestyle. They may select a watch that is sweat-resistant and water resistant. Their selection of a watch to fit their lifestyle shows a practical vibe that doesn’t come from smartphone bearers. Seiko watches are known for their durability and are known to last years without need of repair, even their non-luxury watches stand the tests of time.

You have personal style.
Let’s face it. Watches look nice. They come in many styles for all manner of tastes. Whether you’re wearing a watch to a formal dinner or for everyday use, your watch says to onlookers and admirers that you take pride in how you look.

You are Successful.
Honestly, we don’t really need to wear a watch with everyone glued to smartphones. But a beautiful timepiece is more than just a way to tell time. It’s a status symbol. A well-made time piece tells people that you appreciate the finer things in life, and you work hard to get them.

You value tradition.
Trends come and go, but a classic timepiece never goes out of style. You may even partake in a few fashion trends here and there. But one thing is for certain. People who wear watches value tradition. You value the hard workmanship that goes into making a classic, luxury watch. Traditional doesn’t necessarily mean old fashioned either. It means you value the high standards that were passed down to you.

You have a sense of adventure.
Watches like Panerai and Breitling are designed to serve you throughout your active lifestyle. Whether you are scuba diving, skydiving or rescuing a company’s stocks from diving, a well-made watch reflects your sense of adventure.

You are dependable. a douche
After all, time is money, friend, a line often spouted by douchey people.

You are practical, not.
Their selection of a watch to fit their lifestyle shows a practical vibe that doesn’t come from smartphone bearers. Its the epitome of practicality to spend $10k+ on something that has one function, telling time, and fails at performing that task as well as a $10 alternative, or the phone you're already using to run dozens of different aspects of your life. Its the name on the dial that matters, nothing else.

You have personal style.
your watch says to onlookers and admirers that you take pride in how you look. They will easily overlook the fact that you're 80 pounds overweight when they see that blingy stainless steel jewel on your wrist and immediately recognize the pride that it conveys.

You are Successful.
It’s a status symbol. A well-made time piece tells people that you appreciate the finer things in life, and you work hard to get them. If fact, so hard that you're even willing to buy other watches and jewelry that you don't want, just for the chance of being able to buy an overpriced trinket that has mass appeal to other shallow people. How many people have $10k of disposable income laying around, I'll bet its less than 100 million or so just in the US alone, so you put yourself into an incredibly exclusive group through a strategic luxury watch purchase.

You value tradition.
Trends come and go, but a classic timepiece never goes out of style in your mind. Even though the rest of the world has moved on to more maintenance free and more accurate time keeping devices, you're never going to give up your little collection of springs and gears that requires expensive and time-consuming periodic servicing because it has that all important little soul inside.

You have a sense of adventure.
Watches like Panerai and Breitling are designed to serve you throughout your active lifestyle. Whether you are scuba diving, skydiving or rescuing a company’s stocks from diving, a well-made watch reflects your sense of adventure. That is, until you decide its not worth the risk to get it wet so you avoid any water contact at all, such as the enormous risk of washing dishes or cleaning it off in the shower.

I’ve seen way too many sweatpants and crocs on here to believe any of this nonsense.

I always keep the perspective that there is always someone out there with better watches, more success, more money, a bigger house etc. Accordingly, my watches are for me and my enjoyment only. So, as long as I'm happy and a decent person, my watches don't matter. As far as I'm concerned they don't say anything about me.

It says no more or less than it says about anybody else that spends money on something unnecessary they enjoy…Farrah Fawcett posters, suits of armor, rare jackelope field dressing knives, one-eyed Beanie Babies, whatever.

If your spending on unnecessary things adversely affects your family or other financial responsibilities it says you’re a butth0le.

I think that is a funny and very pretentious way of selling expensive luxury watches and for me, that isn’t why I like nice watches. Watchmaking is a cool art form to me and that’s why I appreciate it......and why I am broke 🤣
