If you are an old man you probably still think it's 1985, so wearing a watch is acceptable.
There's a reason why in 1985, people wore $30 watches and why now, in 2008, nobody wears a watch that costs less than $1000.
That's because the watch is no longer useful. It wasn't that long ago, that clocks weren't even in cars. Now they are in coffee makers, microwaves, tvs, cell phones, computers and pretty much any digital device. There is no longer a functional reason for wearing a watch. It's now a piece of jewelry and nothing more.
Most people are now rarely in a room with less than 3 or 4 devices that can tell time.
A guy under 50 who wears a wristwatch is no different than a guy who wears a gold necklace or a pinky ring. It's jewelry.
And if you can't admit that your watch is nothing more than show-off jewelry, you are very likely a douche.
