What Your WATCH Says About YOU!?

I respectfully disagree...No material item should represent you. YOU represent YOU!

Well, according to Max Weber, the choices we make do say something about us, including wardrobe choices, so choosing a particular watch does represent some aspect of you in some way. Otherwise, there would only be one watch that everyone would wear. 😉

"some aspect"...yes but not a true representation of You, per say...IF I wear my Apple Watch today, how does it represent me? If i wear a Blue Suit with it? If i wear a Rolex ...and so on...plus all of these are tied into how every material is marketed, so I want to represent myself as ME, I was a bit superficial before by judging people on what they wear and I slowly realized that was a dumbest thing I have ever done. There's always more to people that meets the eye...

I hope it doesn't. It's supposed to represent what I aspire to be or how I wish to represent myself (a lie).

Wearing a Casio F-91W, you're either a terrorist or a billionaire. There's no in between.

Why not both? 

My watch says only one thing about me: that I have the ability to know the correct time.

And my two watches say that I am not quite sure 😉.

I disagree. My collection, like me, is very eclectic and unpredictable. So, my particular choice of watch on any given day might mean/represent one thing to an observer , while my feeling at the time or reason for wearing it is likely something completely different.

Wear what you love, love what you wear and don’t concern yourself with what others might think.

What does my watch say about me?  The same thing as i suspect it does about most everyone else here.

I am an overgrown child who likes anachronistic toys on their wrist.  

The watch alone - nah, but together with your clothes, shoes, carriage, hairdo, odeur, and speech, it gives me a pretty good impression. 😎

Everyone is different.

Telling someone what their watch {or any other material item) says about them, usually tells me more about the person making judgements than the person wearing the watch. 

Nope, but it's a nice thought that these things we love have some deep meaning about ourselves.

All my collection says about me is that I spend too much money on watches.

It represents that you wear a watch.

Lol, a watch isnt God. if anything, the most douchebag/absurd/foolish thing to say is “i let my watch do the talking”

All your choices are a reflection of your preferences, interests, likes, and dislikes. For example, most of my watches are microbrands or self builds and that's because I like unique items and tend to go against the grain. Yes I'm one of those guys who will like a TV Show until it becomes popular than I'll not like it. 

Having said if you try and judge someone else by their watch choice that view is tainted by your preferences not theirs. I suspect someone into the prestige of luxury brands would look at my unknown brand and think I'm weird, cheap, or make less money than I do.

A watch is a personal thing and if you tell me you don't care ... well I don't believe you. You wouldn't consider yourself a watch enthusiast/collector if you didn't give any thought to what's on your wrist. I will believe that you may not care what others think but that's a statement in itself isn't it ;).

We wouldn't take the time to photograph our wrist and upload pictures to the internet if we truly didn't care what other people thought about our watch.

I’ll just leave this here

Nope.

Mechanicals have as much soul as an electric can opener.

Boo!

Your watch can indicate your style or profession; however, I can't represent everything you are.

The watch you wear tells a part of a story, but not the whole story. 

When we wake up and get dressed for the day, we put on a costume that tells the world how we want to be seen. Even when it's a uniform we must wear, we wear it in a way that sends signals to those in the know, how we want to be seen. 

Anyone who says otherwise is either naive or lying (maybe even to themself). 

Power Watch!

I like to think watches could say hello by having their barrels explode. 

Maybe in the small watch community, 99% have no clue and don't care about watches the way we do. As a watch enthousiast yes sure, your watch can tell me a bit about you, unfortunately we are a very very tiny group that enjoy this illogical hobby of watch collecting 😅

I think your's says "I love crackers".

I like to think it exudes a sense of power and shouts I budget for food!

If one were to listen to Dr Bell (the inspiration for Sherlock Holmes) everything you wear represents you. Here's a passage from The Sign of Four (1890) that shows what I mean. By happy fortune it is also about watches. 

"... I have here a watch which has recently come into my possession. Would you have the kindness to let me have an opinion upon the character or habits of the late owner?"...

..."Right so far. Anything else?" 

"He was a man of untidy habits-Very untidy and careless. He was left with good prospects, but he threw away his chances, lived for some time in poverty with occasional short intervals of prosperity, and finally, taking to the drink, he died. That is all I can gather"... 

... "I began by stating that your brother was careless. When you observe the lower part of the watch case you notice that it is not only dinted in two places but it is cut and marked all over from the habit of keeping other hard objects, such as coins or keys, in the same pocket. Surely it is no great feat Thatto assume that a man who treats a fifty Guinea watch so cavalierly must be a careless man. Neither is it a very farfetched inference that a man who that a man who inherits one article of such value is pretty well provided for in other respects... 

... It is very customary for pawnbrokers in England, when they take a watch, to scratch the numbers of the ticket with a pinpoint upon the inside of the case. It is more handy than a label as there is no risk of the number being lost or transposed. There are no less than four such numbers visible to my lens on the inside of this case. Inference-that your brother was often at low water. Secondary inference-that he had bouts of prosperity, or he could not have redeemed the pledge. Finally, I ask you to look at the inner plate, which contains the keyhole. Look at the thousands of scratches all round the hole- marks where the key has slipped. What sober man's key could have scored these grooves? But you will never see a drunkards watch without them. He winds it at night, and he leaves these traces of his unsteady hand."
