More power to you and your horological enthusiasm.
No not really,as I work in heavy industry its always been a cheap quartz ,sekondas mainly or as of recently a seiko 5. But I will wear something better when I go for a job interview, i was successful on my last interview and was wearing an alpina seastrong heritage(probably the most dressy diver I've got) so occasionally it's a yes,but I don't think the watch had anything to do with my being successful it just topped off the suit and tie.

Thanks for sharing your viewpoint.
Naw I have been to many suit and tie events and almost all wear an Apple watch or no watch. The ladies did have some nice Cartier watches.
Where I come from, you can have the most high-end watch imaginable, but if you're a total dickhead, you'll find that the watch makes no difference. It's substance over style. Likeability factor is number one, whether you're wearing a smart watch, Seiko 5 or Sub.
I'm not wearing my watches to show off or impress people. Besides WC and maybe r/watches, there's only a hand full of people with whom I generally talk about watches. When wearing e.g. my Rolex at my (!)engineering, office, nerdy job, I usually even cover it with my sleeve because I don't want to answer the usual "Wow, how much did you pay for that?" comments. I wear them because they're my biggest hobby. Since nobody at the office ever noticed my watches, I can say with confidence, that they haven't helped me with my career at all.

I will honestly remember this view point. You are a true gentlema.

You go to r/watches and actually engage with that den of trolls? You’re a brave one! 🫡
