Is a nice watch still a status symbol for men? Is a nice watch worth the money?

Just buy a high quality replica
Besides, nobody gives a shit about watches since everyone has a cellphone that displays time

If you were asking in terms of fashion, then you should head to /fa/ggot

Having a good diver, a good casual piece, and a good dress piece is all you need. A diver is never a dress piece, doesn't matter what brand it is. A Sub looks horrible with a suit. And paradoxically if you are a turbokike it is a status symbol to NOT wear a nice watch but only if it is plainly known you could if you wanted to.

>> No.25100827

That Daytona is an awesome watch. You can beat the shit in the field for years or you can be a pussy and wear it to meetings and dinners only. I think it should be worn daily. Some appreciate, some don't. If you are in an emergency, that Daytona will get you out of a shithole. I could give a shit less about status. I love guns, knives and watches that don't suck. Watches are super handy not only for checking time, but for timing events. Treat yourself to a nice watch. There are many out there. check out watchUseek if you want to learn more about them.

When I was 16 I bought a $400 seiko stainless steel watch with gold plates, no one ever complimented me on it or gave a shit despite how intricate and nice it looked, I liked it til it stopped working.

1 year ago my wife bought me this watch at Walmart, $30 and gold plated. I have received more than 10 compliments on it since she purchased it from me. People always look at it and tell me what a nice watch it is, especially the old timers.

Now what do these compliments mean to me? Jack shit, but it's the only watch I'm ever gonna wear for the rest of my life because my wife got it for me.

>> No.25100973

the point of wearing watches is to admire their craftmanship, these days it is used by majority as a status symbol but those people are usually plebs and don't understand anything about the watch besides >muh rolex

when you understand the craftmanship of a watch and you find others who also enjoy watches (there are specific brands out there) alike you will understand each other, kind of like finding another 4chan autist in the wild

No. And no. I must say, though. Apple Watch Series 6 has come a long way since Series 2. Worth the money, now. Very useful. Plus, the shiny sapphire crystal and brushed black titanium look fuckin' hot.

Why have you come out into the desert? To see a reed shaken by the wind? And to see a man clothed in fine garments like your kings and your great men? Upon them are the fine garments, and they are unable to discern the truth.

if im getting a watch its only as a status symbol. I have a phone, computer, labtop, and car that all tells time. Some of these 8k, 15k watches can't even tell time correctly.

>> No.25102776

I am so much of a spineless pussy that I would feel like a massive pretending faggot if I wore any watch.
Same with sunglasses, I just feel like an absolute douchebag for some reason the second I try them on, but I don't think people that wear them are automatically douches.

How do I stop being such a cripplingly self aware little pussy?

A watch is something that should last many years or even a lifetime.
It's very fitting that you spend a decent bit of money on one as a male with a sense of style and presence.

you need to realize most people are not as good at life as they try to appear (far from it)
also start doing things that would make you proud of yourself and stop doing things that make you ashamed of yourself, then you will know your own value

Find things you actually like and wear them. I imagine if everyone mocked me for getting something and if I am cool with that because I like it so much then I get it. I have everyday-worn rayban sunglasses and seiko watches for the past 20 years. I'm not hitting any /fa/ homeruns but I like them and they're functional and timeless. I have some nicer watches but I literally can't wear them at work because the only situation I would feel similar to what you describe is if I am at work and wearing a better watch than my boss. It would be humiliating.
