I resisted buying a smartwatch because I expected it would take over my life. I wore an Apple Watch regularly for a year as a test. Yes, it'll always be there and it'll always be nosy. Don't use it that way.

I now use it for situations where it makes sense and no more: 1. Exercise tracking, 2. Driving when I truly need navigation instructions, 3. When I don't want to carry a big phone but need a phone -- for checking messages/mail, swiping to pay in stores, listening to music through bluetooth during exercise, etc. 

Smartwatches are new products going through the hype cycle. We'll see where they end up. 

@Catskinner: Jomashop carries Mathey-Tissot. When this brand appeared I got confused as to whether it was a new line from Swatch's Tissot. (No, but that's the goal I think).

I'd call them close homages that don't stand on their own. Before reading your text I thought you were showing a real IWC versus another brand -- not two Timex watches. 

Edit: From IWC's website

Don't expect a real PP in a lot of 30 watches that sold for $14.87 each. Pretty much every bulk lot I've ever seen skims out valuable items for stand-alone sales. Bulk lots typically focus on items that are not worth the time and effort of a solo sale, or things that are very hard to sell one by one. I know this because I've sold bulk lots myself for those reasons. 

Check out the TSA airport seizure bulk pocket knife lots (example) -- solid brand names like Spyderco or Benchmade won't be there. Even Victorinox, Gerber, and CKRT are likely to be skimmed. 

As with all used purchases and vendors my selection is:

E: It depends. ✔

 Even Ebay has seller reputation scores. I love some sellers, hate some sellers, and I'd never consider buying products with a bad reputation for reliability from a source that doesn't allow returns. 

Regarding resale, I once chose a black "near luxury" car over a brown metallic root beer version at a similar price. When I sold the car a few years later black had depreciated more while the brown was worth a healthy premium. Bold colors = roll the dice about trends. 

Green homes? Avocado kitchen anyone?

The most popular car colors are white, black, and gray/silver. Worldwide. This has been true for years and years and years. People tend to be cautious about bold and trendy colors that'll become dated or stick out in a bad way. This gets worse as the cost increases, for they'll be stuck with it for a longer time. Hence the invention of Swatch and cheap fashion watches. Putting a $10 or $20 colorful case on a phone is a reversible choice and very cheap. Some people also color their cars with removable and cheap wraps or rubberized paint.
