you have to live life like people notice everything, because they really do, or at least someone does. humans can be the lowest creatures or the highest. i believe i should beautify myself because God loves beauty.

you can live your life just fine without a watch, but i think watches really complete a look. you dont necessarily have to look professional. alot of casual watches can make a hoodie and jeans outfit look alot better.

i don't wear watches just to attract women, i just love watches and the personalisation in the look i can have. girls might think a watch is fancy or cool looking but they're just not as interested in watches as guys are.

keeping a time piece is a good way to connect and network with other guys (guys love to show off their watches and asking about their watch is a guaranteed convo starter unless you look like you're homeless). esp people who CAN help you. watch collecting is usually a hobby of people who have the extra income and that can come with the connections they've made in their lives along the way.

the hobby of watch collection or even the act of owning a single decent and knowing basics of watches has a very high return.

Been using the Fitbit Versa 2 for over a year now.
Really love the watch and its various tracking features.
Mostly use it for notifications from my phone and the built in timer/schedule feature.
Multiple alarms, sleep tracking and i only paid i think $180 for it which isnt much.
I'd never pay more than $200 for a watch tho or not much over that and don't believe in buying things that have very few uses, ie traditional watches that only tell the time and date, etc.

Anon, for some jobs you need an expensive watch. And I'm not talking about tacky watches like audermars piquet but more like vacheron constantin. They are a conversation starter, way to virtue signal that you have serious money and some even keep their value which makes it a smart investment (you can't do the same with shoes,a suit or most cars). Yes it doesn't make any sense if your a code monkey, but will if you work in board rooms etc.

I've been a crypto millionaire since late 2017 dude.
Faggots like you who appreciate outdated rubbish are soon parted with your money.
You are an artifact of abstract stupidity and inherently don't spend your money well.
That's the thing about wealth is knowing HOW to spend it wisely.
The functionality of a smart watch outweighs the faggotry of simple watches of antiquity.
Furthermore, I don't believe signaling to ppl in public that I have wealth is an indicator of a high IQ - its the opposite.
Go ahead and paint a target on your back as you enter into various parts of the world where overwhelmingly most of the people you'll meet are going to be poorer than yourself.
Sure a lambo is cheap at $350k but actually driving a car like that no matter where you are will attract career criminals to yourself.
The main difference between guys like me and guys like (You) is that I blend in with the masses - you do the opposite of this which in turn attracts more undesirables of society to yourself.
I carry a much lower society risk level than you which in turn keeps me in a comfort zone of being less likely to being a crime statistic.

I get the main theme of these watch threads historically is to spend an absurd amount of money on the most luxury watch possible for the sake of "look at muh dicc" but no one who is responsible and living a safe lifestyle is going to make that kind of pointless investment that only attracts niggers at the end of the day.

Anon, cool that you got lucky with crypto. Like anyone who is an OG on this board. But don't act like your some investment genius because you bought Ethereum at $8 or Neo for near to nothing. I did the same but I'm not proud of it, I just consider it a lucky event.

It's funny how you would talk about being me being parted with my money. I think the chance you lose everything is bigger considering you probably hold more then 10% of your net worth in crypto.

You haven't read my previous post about not buying a tacky watch. I agree with you that's asking for a robbery.

When you see me you won't think I'm rich. I don't wear visible branding on my clothes. I drive a boring volvo. My watches don't scream rolex. From a distance you won't see if it's a 400 dollar watch or 50k. The effect of a nice watch is more subtle.

he does. Things are built for purpose. Watches are meant to tell time and at this point to be a status symbol and fashion choice. A smart watch is style death; it is the preference of a weird and cheap utilitarianism over beauty. Everything your smart watch does is done better by your phone already. Needing to pathetically min max your life so hard that you need a cheap facsimile of your smartphone functionality strapped to your wrist is the sign of a person who isn't comfortable and doesn't know what matters

It's always poojeet, bugmen, and broke soicucks buying expensive watches. I've met many very wealthy people and most of them dress like shit. I've only seen one rolex on the wrist of a doctor or lawyer.
