Why did I buy this clown watch?

If you are anything like me, shopping on AliExpress, Wish, etc. is out of boredom. I'd go on the app because I finished scrolling Twitter or WC or whatever and scroll the items and anything mildly interesting went into the cart and then I'd remove 50% or more of the cart and make the purchase and wait the 4-8 weeks and then slap past me for making the purchases. 

I had to delete the apps so I wouldn't shop out of boredom. 

I think you speak a lot of wisdom. It's when I am bored or depressed and feel like buying a watch but not spending "new watch" money on one. At least it'll be funny?

Firm no. The Joker is a one of a kind iconic watch made by one of the best watchmakers alive. Getting a replica, I mean homage, is sacrilegious in this case.

I didn't even know it was a replica. Next time maybe I'll buy one of these: https://invictastores.com/1-limited-edition-invicta-dc-comics-joker-quartz-mens-watch-52-5mm-stainless-steel-aluminum-case-ss-silicone-aluminum-band-blk-prp-gr-26950?gclid=CjwKCAjw2rmWBhB4EiwAiJ0mtTY8puyfckqBk55XAXyOtq9_9WxCkM3ATYElWiS-hWFtELikk1rdLBoCKbQQAvD_BwE

Konstantin Chaykin Is a genius designer. It’s  an iconic piece, but probably only the nerdiest amongst us know about it.

I'd say the opposite. To paraphrase an old Jeremy Clarkson quip, the only thing worse than wearing a fake Joker watch is wearing a real one.

I’m not easily creeped out, but this lazy/crazy-eyed Twilight Zone reject is pure nightmare fuel. It’s surely possessed by demons and cackles at you, urging murders and suicide, until the wearer goes insane and tries in vain to destroy it. It’s also terribly tasteless, gimmicky, hard to read and disturbingly ugly.

Did I say Joker? It turns out that there is an entire Wristmons collection of variations on this theme. Surely Wristmons is a portmanteau of wrist and demons. Luckily these are outrageously expensive and in the hands of mega-rich supervillains, so I won’t need to drown one in holy water.

You quoted your own op-ed article?  :-)

I would politely disagree and say it is charming as hell and my only regret is not buying one precovid when they were reasonably priced. Granted, it’s not someone‘s first, second, or even third watch, but when one is tired of all the same aesthetic, this fills a certain void.

52MM? Wouldn’t consider any Invicta under 60mm.  😂
