Implementing a watch to an outfit

Do you match your watches, dials and/or straps to your outfit? I love to do that as I see my watch as an important part of it as it’s the only accessory I wear apart from my wedding ring. This way it complements the rest of the outfit nicely.

Do you also do that? Or do you just not care? 🤔

Unless it's a formal event such as a wedding where I would try to wear one that's most appropriate, other times I just wear whatever I feel like at that moment. It sometimes gives me new perspectives as opposed to conventional approaches (e.g. sports watch with jeans and t-shirt, dress watch for shirt and tie, etc.).

Every Sunday like a maniac I change a few leather straps for the upcoming week. Your combo is flawless.

All the time, even to bed!!

I do that every day. I also consider my outfits when buying a new watch.

·

Depends, sometimes I just put anything on with a watch I like.

As I have switched from watches on bracelets to leather straps for the winter and all straps currently in my rotation are some shade of dark blue, I'm about to by matching belts and boots. Otherwise, my combination of watch and attire are rather influenced by weather and the occasion I'm dressing for than by creating the perfect match.

That’s great! I personally don’t make any plans for the week, but with quick release spring bars the changes don’t take long. 👌🏼

Thanks for the compliment 🤩

Great way to look at it, too! Thinking about it I sometimes do that too. 👍🏻

Wow stunning dial and great fit with the shirts!

Also kind of fits with the green jacket really well, especially in front of that sign 😋

Great looks. I really like the colourful NATO on that timex giving an additional pop of colour to a relatively decent outfit 👌🏼

Bracelet and suit is always a great match 👍🏻

Thanks @hakki501. Good to see there’s plenty of stylish people on here too!

The linen dial (and Spanish date) looks exceptional. Must be a piece that pairs very well with everything 👏👏👏

Outfit first, accessories second, for me. And comfort above all.

As with any accessory, it should complement or at least not clash in appearance or formality. Sometimes I'll coordinate the color of a strap but usually my preferred watches are practical enough to not need much fussing. So it's as the mood strikes me each day.

I love matching my watch to my attire

And of course, brown leather strap with brown shoes and belt 👌🏻

Any dress event or any party, yes! Otherwise I wear what I'm feeling!

Thank you for taking the time express your kind sentiment, Sir

I only have one outfit. Sweatpants. Lol

But I will put on a metal watch (rather than my daily plastic G Shock) if I'm going to a family dinner.

Someday I need to get nice clothing but I don't really "go out" nowadays anyways.

·

I pick my watch first and, if I think about it, sometimes try to match whatever is clean in my closet to the watch. Never the other way around. But I'm just a fat old guy so it mostly doesn't matter.

·

I don’t know where I’ve heard it, but it’s best to keep your leather all in the same color. If I were to wear brown leather shoes, I would wear a brown belt and a brown watch strap.

·

I always match my watch to my outfits and this practice gave me the collecting bug.

·

Having only one watch right now makes it a little easier, however I just love the bracelet on my Tudor :)

·

I always match my watch to my wedding ring and bracelet if I’m wearing one.

·

Most certainly.

always

That's pretty psycho, in the best possible way

I tend to try. Sometimes though one wardrobe item that subverts expectations is all you need to pop though, then I get nuts like Mel Gibson
