It was a nice looking one

but its too early for them, they aren't that useful at all. Heck the battery doesn't even last 2 days!

Yes I do. In many European cities it is downright idiotic to own a car so as a man the watch is the go to status symbol. This sadly matters in business interactions, as such you have no choice but to wear a decent watch.

Seikos are good value if you don't want to spend a lot. Skagens are nice too.

Watches are cool and useful.

A Skagen. This is the closest I could find on short notice.

It's a good watch because I am a poor working in an industry where most people are poors but appearances still matter a lot, and this kind of watch is slight enough to look classy in combination with a suit to someone who has no idea.

To clarify, wearing any kind of watch will garner respect unless its a Swatch or whatever, seeing as how smartphones are so ubiquitous and also poo poo.

I have a high powered laser pointer I attached to an elastic band that I wear around the office, turn on, and jump around corners trying to blind people with. It's awesome because I'm being like iron man.

Yes, I wear a watch, and have since I was a kid. Being able to tell the time with a subtle glance at my wrist is much easier and more efficient than fishing my phone out of my pocket. My phone is not constantly in my hands, because I am an adult and have a life.

I actually really like that one except for the globe.

But in regards to the OP, I do not wear a watch unless I am out exercising then I wear a GPS watch to keep track of distance and such, but I am quite a fan of fancy looking watches especially if you can see all the inner workings and machinations.

And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still

this is a good reason to use a watch. another good reason to use a watch is realize that looking at your phone makes you look like an rear end in a top hat no matter the context
