well why not?
Oh you. xD

I usually keep my phone in my bag now, so it's easier to access a watch for checking time than it is my cellphone or laptop. However, I usually forget to put it on before leaving the house.

When speaking to my friend with a very nice gold rolex watch, he was telling me the watch made people interviewing him for jobs think he was more applicable. When I asked him how he said, he'd often meet people for job interviews during lunch hours at cafes and such. He'd order coffee and then pick up the cup, which in turn drew more attention to his wrist. The employers would peep his watch and were like, "Wow you have impressive taste" or "That's a cool watch" and it would direct the conversation about the watch instead of asking him questions about whether he was actually qualified for the job. When they eventually did get around to asking him, they were so dumbfounded by a friggin' watch and the air of sophistication it apparently gave off that they were already sold. My point is, if you're going to wear a watch swag it out in an interview. Get money.
