commented onWill dress watches ever make a comeback?·
This is entirely cyclical and goes along with the cyclical fashion trends. With the pandemic and hybrid work becoming more common, the shift to (very) casual fashion was accelerated, supported in the watch space by steel sports watch hype.
I believe that this fast change will only speed up the reversal that will inevitably follow. Sure, nobody will be wearing ties, three piece suits or hats, but we can expect a partial resurgence of business casual, or just of people who will want to wear a nice shirt when going out for dinner, instead of their favourite hoodie.
Along with this, dress watches will come back (are coming back), maybe not in their purest form, maybe with a bit of sport aesthetic and extra WR mixed in, but they will.

Any variant of the Seamaster 300.
Basically a perfect watch, suitable to be your only watch, cool history, cool marketing (Bond), great specs (Coaxial). But whenever I had the option of buying one I always went for something else, a BB58, 16610, SKX, Doxa…

You can gift it to somebody
If you want to keep it, I keep my GShock on a shelf in the bathroom where there is no other clock and it doesn’t mind the humidity. Comes in handy in the morning when you have no watch on or your phone with you.
