Most classrooms in my experience had wall clocks so meh.

For me it's a good way of checking time in more professional settings. When I'm in an interview and take a second to think, I usually have my arms on the table so I can look down at my watch and pace myself. Like on longer questions regarding my experience, I would ask for 30 seconds or so and think to myself "10 seconds to brainstorm bullet points for 3 major relevant experiences". When I'm out at a nice dinner or a formal, I'd prefer to keep my phone out of sight as much as possible and just refer to my watch. It's courteous to those you're spending time with and it feels classier. Perhaps I'm trying too hard to be sophisticated or I'm looking into it too much, but those are just my 2 cents on wearing a watch.

I agree. You could tell people you're just checking the time on your phone, but it's neater to check your watch, in my opinion. It's a sign of a neat personality. Like someone who takes pride in the little things such as a janitor or when a cashier wraps your bags up nicely. It's a nice feeling to others and you. The culture of wearing a watch is so intriguing to me.

To all these dummies saying "oh a watch is obsolete" "a watch is pointless". None of you get it, a watch is jewelry! Where do they sell high quality watch? THAT'S RIGHT a jewelry store!

Reason 8: CHARACTER - A watch is part of a definition of the person who is wearing it. You can define someone's taste and style by what they are wearing. Whether if is a simple dress watch, a sporty G-Shock, a gold Rolex, a complicated piece like Breguet, a plastic quartz , rare vintage model, or a high-end piece like Patek. Reason 9: STATUS SYMBOL Reason 10: CHICK-MAGNET :) Reason 11: THE BOND - Watch wearers and collectors have special bond with they pieces. Just like car enthusiasts love their cars. Also a watch can be passed down from father to son, creating a special connection. Reason 12: JEWELRY - A nice watch can be a man's only piece of jewelry. And a fashion statement. Reason 13: A DRESS WATCH - Every nice suit isn't complete without a nice dress watch. Reason 14: EMERGENCY FUND - If you are traveling aboard and happen to lost all your cash and credit cards, you can sell or pawn your watch and save you a lot of trouble.

+OmaMansou it does say a lot about the wearer's personality

Point number 8: "Wearing a watch sends a signal to clients and coworkers that you care about time." And this is especially important if their time is important to them. You wear a watch for the exact same reason you comb your hair, shine your shoes, or brush your teeth. Or refrain from getting your face and hands tattooed. Of course, this may not matter to you if you never interact with clients or if you work somewhere in the back room. Or if you are an unemployed artist. But in some professions, it is a mandatory sign of professionalism. Have you ever seen a doctor or nurse NOT wearing a watch? Or an attorney, or a banker? You don't need a wristwatch to sit home and play video games, but you do need one if you want to make a good impression in the workplace. When you are ready to grow up, you will start wearing a wristwatch.

I have been wearing a watch for 10 years, and have recently begun to up my game with wearing "timepieces" instead of just quartz watches.

About 15 years ago or so, I purchased a Seiko Kinetic at the local jewelery store's dog days sale. The thing still keeps within 1-second every six-months according to the National Bureau of Standards monitor, I only adjust it at Daylight to Standard time and back. A couple of years ago I finally acquired a quality automatic watch that attracts many compliments. I'm not a collector, but I understand the mentality.

"What happens after a few hours with these things? Or maybe 8 hours if you've got a good one?" Is he seriously implying that smartphones die after 8 hours or less?

Or just seriously mentally handicapped. If it really takes you over a minute to get your phone out of your pocket then you probably shouldn't be carrying one at all. What are you going to do if someone calls you? Your phone only rings for 30 seconds. That's it. Also, with the danger that he was talking about checking the time and driving, on my droid turbo I created an activation phrase, and when I say "droid, activate," it turns on. From there I can ask it anything from "what time is it" to "how much is the tuition for Stanford" and it will annunciate the answer.

As an addition to my last, in the event that it was not clear enough, all of that can be done while it is still in my pocket.

I've been wearing analog chronigraphs since the early '70s, mostly Seikos. Had an Omega Flightmaster that was stolen from me in college. Saved up for a year to buy it -$400.00 at the time! Several more Seiko chronographs and now I wear a Buliva Marine Star. Watches were absolutely indespensable for me, both on the job and off. Especially working rotating shifts. They enabled me to not only keep track of the time, but enabled me to better manage my time. I'm retired now, but keeping track of time is still important and wearing a watch is the one thing I brought into my retirement life with me. Time, to me, is too important to trust to a $2.00 digital watch. This shows no respect for time - the ONLY thing we are given at birth.

It's very stylish with NATO wrist bands but the silver band that it comes with looks fairly nice as well.

Simply put...they are my little mechanical side kicks. With me wherever I go . They never need a battery and will basically run forever as long as they stay wound.

Wearing a watch vs using a phone to find time is like comparing a book to an tablet E-book. Both have benefits, but NOTHING can beat a good book, and there are plenty of reasons why books (made of paper of course) will exist over e-books on a tablet. Same with watch vs phone (for time). Phone can do it, but when it comes down to time management (regular time, stp wtch, lap, etc), nothing can beat a watch. The reasons are plenty and while having both options are great, I would rather have a solid, paper book and watch over phone (for time) and tablet (for reading) any day. Considering so many ppl thumbed this video down, I am assuming they are the ignorant group, unable to either learn or see the meaning of watch, or failed to realize overall significance in the long run. Then again considering our newer generation is very good at time keeping most of the time (ahem!), they don't need a watch. They got their phone for it.

I know your comment was 6 years ago. But you are absolutely correct. I recently bought a Casio A168. A cheap 20 dollar watch. Not bad looking either. And its been noticed far more than my more expensive watches which cost me 100s of dollars more.

Big reason nobody’s talking about when comparing watch to smartphone, the psychological reason: when you look at your analog or digital watch, you get sense of time, you can feel the moment. You don’t get the same feeling on smartphone.

I never really stopped wearing a watch. When I was young and foolish I wore one that hung from a belt loop for a while, and when I first got into vests I tried with very limited success to pull off a pocket watch. For some years now I've mostly worn a watch that I got as a graduation gift from a wealthy aunt. It wasn't extremely expensive, but it's got an understated elegance to it that pretty much goes with everything. Every now and then I think it doesn't match a certain outfit and try out another watch, but I always quickly go back to this one. It really is an old friend.

A great video. You are bang on with your thoughts about the benefits of wearing a watch. It is so obvious, but always worth repeating in our smart media dominated world. I became interested in quality automatic watches about a year ago, having previously worn only cheap digital and quartz watches. It is a balance between spending and passion though, with other real life costs, and there are a lot of watch snobs about. The best advice seems to be - at least one decent watch for (office type) work/social occasions and one daily "beater watch' for robust work/activities. My child has only recently started wearing a watch. It is a simple three hand quartz watch, but great to see the next generation appreciating the simplicity of the wrist watch despite the IPhone. I intend to leave at least one decent watch to hand down.

hello i have two watches one swatch and one seiko both quartz. I have one question, the seiko secondhand dont hit marks exactly instead of swatch secondhand. Is that problem?And how i can resolve it?

My watches are part of my life. Always dress my watch on. No matter where i go or what i do. No matter what style of life you have, their is always a right watch for your needs. Good video

I agree with your 7 reasons, but I started wearing a traditional watch for another reason. For many years I did not wear any watch and like many of us, I used my smartphone for telling time. Then some time ago I got a smartwatch from a company named after a fruit. I personally felt that the watch is just another information outlet, similar to modern phones. But most importantly, I caught myself paying way too much attention to the watch's notifications whenever I was trying to spend quality time with someone. I would be in a lunch meeting with a colleague, or sitting with my family, and there it would go, "buzz, buzz" and grab my attention! I thought from other people's perspective about how rude I was being every time I paid attention to the watch; almost as if my time was too important to spend with them. I gave up on the smartwatch after a few months and started to wear a traditional watch just for the purpose of telling time... there, serenity!

I started subscribing to your channel based on this video. I have always loved watches. I have several of them. My favorite is a beautiful Invicta watch that my wife gave to me for Christmas about 3 years ago. I used to wear it all the time. Several months ago was the last time I wore my watch, and since then the battery has died and needs replacing. I plan on getting it replaced soon. it's nice to know that there are people that have a passion for watches out there still. Thank you for your video and for reminding me of how much I love my watch and how much it deserves to be worn and enjoyed.

I love watches and I think they should be worn more, butI can't agree with your points. Honestly, if you're not into watches and times pieces as a whole, then the only real reasons to wear a watch are looks. But if you are and can see the value behind mechanical vs. quartz, the different number of complications, the tradition behind that watch maker, then the reasons become something more like why a person tuned into the art world gets a painting. Your reasons were exaggerated for the average person. It's not that much more simple or convenient than taking out your phone and they are pointless as heirlooms if the person inheriting it does not appreciate watches in the same way. I have it in my will that my collection is to be sold off immediately and money put into college funds for family members.

+JT Manuel For sure - it's definitely a must have for on-the-go people

I just bought my second Rolex, so yeah... I'm definitely a watch guy. I've never heard of Fifth Watches, and I can't say I'm impressed. They don't list prices on their idiotic website, but whatever they are charging, I can guarantee you it is too much. If I had any advice to offer to those looking to get into watches it is this: 1. Be conservative. Stick with watches in the 40-42 mm range. For sports watches (eg: Rolex Submariner, Omega Speedmaster), most guys can go up to 44, but dress watches like the ones this company produces should be in the 38-40 mm range. Their watch is 43 mm, which is way too large. Avoid at all costs. You will look ridiculous. 2. You don't need to spend a lot to get a great watch. Seiko and Orient both sell excellent watches at very affordable prices. There are also smaller boutique brands like Steinhart, Squale, Helson, Helios and many, *many* more which offer high quality watches with automatic movements at competitive prices. If you really want to buy a watch (nominally) produced in Australia, consider instead the Melbourne Watch Company. Their offerings are far more sophisticated and are priced right. Which brings me to my third point: 3. Never buy a watch with a quartz movement (i.e., one which operates on a battery). Only buy watches with mechanical or "automatic" self-winding movements. Trust me on this one.

@Trotsky1981

Quartz movements - especially cheap quartz movements - are not built to last. If you want something disposable, quartz is fine. A mechanical watch, if cared for properly, will last a lifetime. Plus, the second hand has a smooth sweeping motion instead of the 'tick' associated with quartz watches, which looks pretty cool. Having said that, finding an automatic chronograph - which is more complicated than a regular automatic movement and therefore more expensive - in the same price range as the Marine Star might prove a challenge.

They make the wearer look like they are desperate for attention: "Look at me! Look at the watch I am wearing!". I mean, what's up with this silly trend? For a century or more, wristwatches have been a reasonable size. Now they are width of a man's whole friggin' wrist!

@TinkyTheCat

8 жыл бұрын

+da Bob It's partially the current style, but it's also tied to function in many cases. Kinetic / self-winding watches are often larger due to the additional moving parts inside. Satellite watches, watches with multiple hands/faces, etc. etc. As many modern watches have added functionality beyond simply keeping time they've trended larger in order to accommodate all that functionality. I suspect adding features is how most watch makers are attempting to maintain relevance in the smartphone era. Being a rather slim man, it can be frustrating.

@BobC59

8 жыл бұрын

First, I have to agree with the frustration as a man of fairly thin wrists. Finding these pie-plate sized things to put on my arm feels crazy and looks even worse. Second, and as much as I appreciate your comment, watches ARE NOT bigger due to the kinetic/self-winding mechanisms. I am wearing on my skinny wrist - as I type this - a very attractive, very SLIM watch from +/- 1962 called an Omega Constellation. It was my grandfather's, then my fathers, and now it is mine. Its is maybe 36mm in diameter and quite slim to boot. Oh, and did I mention it is self-winding?!? I used to think that watch was amazing as a young boy, back when you had to WIND UP watches to make them work, but the point here is that kinetic powered watches have been around a long, long time -- well before the "pie plates" came along in recent years :) ALso many years ago were multi-function watches - - nice, smallish watches called chronometers. Maybe its cheaper to make them with big parts, but certainly not necessary. Look inside those huge watches and you will find LOTS of open space. Most watch mechanisms are tiny and take up very little space (in any dimension). Its all about style, not a need for more space, that these monstrosities exist. (Ever see an Apple watch? Do you know all those things can DO within 38mm?!!). By the way, you failed to mention my own theory for the larger watches which rings true with me and my generation: You can SEE them more easily with older eyes!! Best regards, Bob

@TinkyTheCat

+da Bob Thanks for the info. I wound up looking into them further; I had no idea self-winders actually date back to just after WW1. Part of what actually got me interested in watches was that I remember my great uncles and grandfathers having old heirloom timepieces but by the time I reached adulthood they'd all passed away and the timepieces had been long lost, sold, or broken. I have a self-winding Seiko that's about 40mm diameter and that's one of (if not the) smallest of the type I've seen. It's a heavy thing (weighs twice as much as even similarly sized watches do.. so, imagine a barbell) and doesn't appear to have lots of spare room in it, but perhaps they took a cue from McDonald's and supersized everything. ;-) I suppose it was just optimistic rationalization on my part, but the ugly truth will only make finding decently-sized watches even more frustrating now.

Oh well, didn't mean to go down a depressing route :) I wrote out of frustration, finding watches I liked on Amazon only to find they were much bigger than I wanted. Saw your comment after only having just pulled out my dad's Omega, so it was fresh in my mind and I had to say something. Its amazing the "micro-technology" there was so many years ago, isn't it? I just ended up with another Seiko (solar this time!) that I'm trying to get accustomed to at 40mm. Looks nice but a tad big for my taste. If it lasts 20 years like the last one (still working), I guess I'll be happy. I'm not a jewelry wearer per-se, so its all about telling time and reliability for me :) Cheers! Bob

I wear high-end watches because the joy they give me. When I look down at my wrist, they reminded me of how far I've come since arriving from Cuba as a poor immigrant boy at age 3. I worked my ass off and made something of myself and by the grace of God I have achieved my own version of the American dream. I was fortunate enough to give my daughter a 2 tone Rolex 31mm Datejust when she started college. Watching her wear that watch, when at here age I could have never dreamed of owning a fine swiss watch is a indescribable feeling. A phone could ever do that.

I love my 1964 Accutron Spaceview watch. I bought it at the of age 18 back in 1980; I had it overhauled for my 50th birthday in 2012. Instead of using quartz to keep time, it uses a tuning fork which vibrates 360 times per second thus making a humming sound and a sweeping second hand. The gears, coil, resistor and transistor is something to look at.

You should send that watch to ArchieLuxury to review. He's in Australia and is a celebrity. Nice video by the way.

I appreciate watches because of the relationship between humans and machines. For me a digital watch is lifeless and lacks the simplicity that a watch offers.A mechanical/automatic watch can not live on its own. You must care for it, feed its mainspring every day. When it gets unwell you must take it to the horologist expert for a check up and to receive treatment. It is a mechanical pet whose only service it can provide its owner is its closest approximation to the current time.Its style is a reflection of the owners attitude. It matters not what others think. But it does matter what you say about yourself and what you say to others. A watch is an extension of that philosophy.For those who express contempt are missing the point. Those who are belittling do not understand that these reasons are personal and are lacking in empathy.

Thanks for validating an expensive decision I made for my spare change. I have just purchased an old Longines and an old Omega solid gold watch to start off my collection. I have an appointment this afternoon and shall wear the Longines. Real style and class. They are miniature works of art, art deco beauty, a slower simpler age.

There is nothing more disrespectful than not being on time. Everyone's time is valuable and if someone else meets you for either business or even social reasons and you are late, you are wasting their time and that is plain rude.
