Why the Coolest Celebrities on the Planet Are Wearing These $20 Watches
By Cam Wolf
Every week for the past seven months, I’ve gathered the best watches the world of celebrity and Hollywood have to offer. You can guess the results: Rolex, Patek Philippe, Omega, and Richard Mille watches, pieces made out of gold or covered in diamonds, watches whose aggregated value would infuriate Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. But over the past month, I’ve noticed something peculiar: the coolest people aren’t wearing those types of timepieces. Instead, I see rubber straps, plastic cases, and price tags that barely break the $20 barrier: I see, unmistakably, Casios.
The brand's watches really lounge in the spotlight on the wrists of two celebrities in particular, Tyler, the Creator and Kristen Stewart. And these aren’t just your normal A-list celebs, but folks with a long track record of dressing in ways we dream, in our wildest dreams, of dressing.
Tyler and Stewart have gone in opposite directions with their Casios. Tyler wears the MQ24-9B, a classic-looking watch with hands and Arabic numerals. The dial comes in the shade of yellow that other, more expensive watches bloom into after decades of wear. From a distance, the watch might be confused with your garden-variety vintage watch.
These are the natural choice of secure people that just need to know the time.
Either they love watches whatever their price point or they are drawing our attention away from their overpriced clothes, hats and haircuts 😃
The "coolest" celebrities all wear Tissot as they're the sponsors of MotoGP 😜🏍️
I think the watch just contributes to the overall simple style.
It's just that Casios and streetwear fashion are hand & glove.
Hipster chic.
I'm with Douglas Adams when it comes to digital watches.
Poseurs in the same way as those flexing on Instagram.
are those celebrities? I have no clue who they are....and that guy looks in my opinion like a poser with his beret hat and sunglasses...not really my definition of "cool"
