NY Times: These Days, Watches Are for Almost Anywhere but the Wrist

From Taylor Swift to Rihanna, Emma Chamberlain to Julia Fox, celebrities are turning the watch world upside down (or even sideways).

😆Just messin’! Killer threads!

I want a watch embedded in my belly button like a gem on a belly dancer…

I'll pay attention when she starts practicing what she preaches...

You know save the earth, green house gasses, yet fly everywhere in your private jet. 👀🤏🏻

And I wear mine on my wrist because my phone in the pocket seems impractical for a clock!

I’m not sure I’d stare into some guy’s belly for the time.

Please no more Taylor Swift we’ve seen enough of her the last several months than any human needs too.

·

I wear mine on my p. Never mind. This is a PG site. 😂

Idiotic waste of time...

If you use your a*s to think and your mouth to fart...than why not wear....a watch on the neck.

WTF good as a watch on your neck you can’t even read it ? 😆

Absolutely one of the stupidest trends I’ve ever seen, but then we’ve got Taylor Swift here so you know it’s got to be a ridiculously ignorant thing because she is. The “Swifty’s” are anything, but. In the words of Forrest Gump “Stupid is as stupid does!”

Oh wait I’ve come up with one use for!

To see if a date with her is actually as long as it seems. Smhs👎

It’s definitely more like a costume and statement piece to my eyes. Whilst I’d love to see women’s watches and how they’re marketed diversify more, I’m not sure a watch that you can’t read, tied to your neck, will make anyone new want to buy a watch. Brands seem keen to put watches on the wrists of women through partnerships (eg Tudor with Lady Gaga, Omega with Cindy Crawford, Cartier with Deepika Padukone). I wish they’d involve them more in the design though. Breitling have Victoria Beckham on board now for some solid gold Chronomats, interesting that both she and David are marketing both sides of the same Kinessi movement coin!

What the hell has this woman got to do with watches. 😂

·

TS: "Excuse me. My eyes are up here."

Me: "Oh, I'm sorry. Could you please tell me the time."

🫣

·

I shall continue wearing one on my wrist. If I see someone at a restaurant or gas station or corner store wearing a watch around their neck I will avoid them. Deliberately and maybe even rudely…

·

Crunchers, its time to put watches on our necks and do WRUW

·

I don’t get it, may as well use it as a belt buckle or shoe laces.

·

Word association test : Coke , Pepsi, McDonalds , Hungry Jacks … Taylor Swift….

·

Well, you do have some members of this group saying mechanical watches aren’t meant for accurate time-telling, that they’re “only” accessories/jewelry “for men”, so… 😏

I mean what if it was a quartz and you knew the time was accurate? Then maybe?

·

I would like to know how she reads the time from that neckwatch of hers. Or maybe it’s a watch for Kelce to tell time with??
