Is it better to wear no watch than a watch costing <$1000?

[The DoggFather]

What app do you use to monitor motors on a fitbit?
Didn't know they could have apps to start with!

Just the fitbit app on my Samsung.

PS by motor, I mean my heart lol

As a fellow watch aficionado , can you please illustrate the value of a high end watch as opposed to a high end smart watch?

Smartwatch advantages
Weather
Call notifications
Heart rate monitor
Steps monitor
Can watch YouTube
Can change the watch face
Can take calls on 4G models
Has a barometer
Can pay for stuff
Perfect time always as sync to internet

Disadvantages
Have to charge every few days
Battery eventually wear out

So why is it that a Rolex etc is better than say an apple watch or a Samsung? Style? Prestige?

We all need to watch this (excuse the pun)

Smart watches vs a designer watch I will always go with a designer watch as I like the look of nice designer watch.

As for Smart watches, well I don't use 3/4 of the apps on my phone so I see no need for a Smart watch.

I am someone who likes my jewelry so again, I'll go with a designer watch. I only need it to do two thing, tell time and look good.

You have more dollars then sense if you are spending that kind of money on a watch. That is absolutely absurd!!

Only if they also care about Rolex watches. I never pay much attention to it personally but Rolex wearers are like Vegans. If you don't immediately mention their watch then they'll wave it in your face until you you say, "yes. You have a nice watch"

I think this is more of a truthful price range.. Even though I like the watches I still think it’s too much!

My cousin actually does this but he's just a wanker. Glad I don't have to see him until next Christmas

 

[Mr Beast]

Let's help the renters on here.

Let's say that someone with a Rolex (perhaps the landlord) is gonna flop it out in their face. To put the renter on the backfoot.

With a budget of $198 which watch can the renter buy to flop it out and gain some respect / keep them honest?

I have a Nixon one as an everyday metal watch and my gshocks as my work watches or working out watches when I need to get sweaty or dirty in the workshop.

I currently own a Raymond Weils Freelancer as my fancy watch for special occasions so it doesn’t get worn much as I’m not bothered for special occasions lmao

This is it here:

In all seriousness, a quality watch for under $500
