I started wearing watches again when I realized that everytime I looked at my phone just to find the time, the phone sucked me in, whether it was briefly or extended. Putting a watch back on kept my intentions in line with my action. When I want to know what time it is, I can find out without any distraction.
When I think of brazil I think of flip flops, tank tops and swim trunks, all in in garish colors, finished with a chinese uzi replica elegantly dangling from a strap. I'd wear some kind of toy watch to put an emphasis on the juvenile age I'm going to die face down in a favela piss pool.
I am a basic nobody who doesn't get out a lot, but when I do I insist on rocking a nice watch. It's my little way of telling myself that I am worth it.
Shouldn't put Your worth in jewelry. Watches are overrated. Just buy any watch that looks good for You, even if it costs only 30$. Silver or gold color, based on Your other jewelry.
@@arty_lerry7730 Absolutely, luxury watches are the luxury makeup for women. A good product has a reasonable price, a "luxury" product, which makes exactly the same function as the good one, justifies their price on the ego need for being "part of that exceptional group".
Oh my goodness Me too except my watch was literally 10.99 from Walmart But it is a pretty blue with brass? Deep rose gold details I wear it so I can leave my phone behind to events I love that it is so pretty It makes going out extra special
I wear an "old school" mechanical watch because it's a single function device. Basically I'm "giving the finger" to this overcomplicated, digital culture that is constantly running at faster and faster speeds. It does one thing...and something about that is rather elegant.
I got myself an automatic watch last year and I love wearing it. There's something about having this little analogue, mechanical piece of fine technology on your wrist; sometimes I just like to look at it working, marvelling about the ingenuity of this little apparatus.
Nope, whenever i take it off, it stops! so next time i put it on the time is wrong, and the date is wrong, meaning I have to wind through 24 hrs or more to correct it. My Seiko PADI mostly lives in its box now, and my Tissot or Longines get to be worn.
A mechanical watch is simply art on your wrist. Decades of refined engineering contained in a few mm². I don't think there is another accessory that can come close to the feeling of owning an automatic watch.
I have worn my Timex Expedition for over 3 years now. I love it because it's straightforward, simple, but also tells me the date of the month. It helps me feel a bit rugged and adventurous. It was also a gift from my parents, so it has a lot of sentimental value especially now that my mom has passed.
@@omarbegreenwhat use does a rotating bezel have that a cheap casio doesn't? World time, not that model but others do Dive time, just use the stopwatch or countdown timer Plus many are solar and have atomic time
My 60s mechanical Flica watch holds a bittersweet significance for me. It was my paternal grandmother's, a woman I never knew. She worked at the Geneve Flica factory before the quartz crisis and passed away when my dad was only 12. Her watch is the only link I have to her, and its ticking hands remind me to treasure the time I have before it too runs out. My dad gave it to me the day I got my technical degree as a touristic guide. I find talking about the watch and its history is a great way to connect with other watch enthusiasts and somehow sometimes it starts amazing and deep conversations about other topics with fascinating people.
I have a super boring job and it can get depressing BUT I always feel better when I take a few seconds and look at my wrist watch! Thank you, Tag Hauer and Bulova!
I mean it's true, what you wear effects how you feel, and how you perceive yourself. Actors consider this when wearing their costumes and brands consider this when selling things to you.
@tahsina.c I don't think you're wrong per se. In the past, there was probably a good statistical correlation between intelligence, competence, and dressing a certain way. However today, so many people go out of their way to be flashy with wealth, independent of whether or not they are actually wealthy. The simulation of the message has overcome the orignal message.
My parents bought me a children’s Timex and taught me how to tell time when I was only three years old and made me responsible for reporting home to them at required times. It made me feel mature all those decades ago when we were still free were free range children and all the other children were running wild and weren’t taught yet.
My late father's 1972 gold J W Benson is my ultimate dress watch. His once cherished possession deserves to be with me whenever I am dressed up in my best.
Aw man ❤ That's a very beautiful piece.. I wish to get my dad's Seiko fixed and watch him try and wear it again. I've been procrastinating it for a while but I think your comment gave me the push that someday it'll be late.
@@nickmuffin1722Reminder, in case you havent done it, get the watch fixed for your dad. Not everyone has a living dad, don't take yours for granted. 😉
I purchased a $25 sport watch in 2020 and I have used it in super important events these 3 years. Travel to Europe, went to dates with it 😅, learning to drive… etc I still have it and I love it.
Nowadays a watch is just an accessory to your outfit, we all carry a phone that tells time and date. Personally I own one do it all watch, which I keep changing the straps to match the outfit, occasion and personal mood. It’s fun and surprisingly women notice it and give positive feedback.
When I see a dude with a wristwatch and he checks the time on his phone. I know that dude has no idea what he's doing. He has no clue how to utilize his tools.
The only reason I would check the time on my phone while wearing a watch, is to sync the time as closely as I can with the atomic clock. I wear mechanical watches and every now and again it can lose time (if I forget to keep it wound) so I check the time against the atomic time.
@ZetroDrummer So what! Fact, most luxury sports/dive watches are in the same boat. People are free to buy whatever they want, because they want it period. The Submariner is the standard that all sports watches are compared to. It is an iconic piece that long ago became a go anywhere do anything watch. Rolex has no problem selling either. It does seem to bother you quite a bit. What you and other Rolex hating fan-boys should do is buy whatever the hell you want. Without feeling the need to throw shade, when others do just that.
@cartesian_doubt6230 Yes because they have a date window at 3oclock instead of a lume marker. Which the no date solve the problem. Not because of anything else. You try to imply, they are substandard with your comment. Relegating you to the I hate Rolex fan- boy club.
This is basically an advert for selling watches. Women like a nice looking watch but most don't know much about them, so putting on an expensive watch is probably not going to impress her. And if it does then she is thinking about the wrong thing: money.
Awesome presentation sir! For me personally (ADHD person with loads of anxiety) my watch gives me the perception of doable tasks using short timers and alarms. Many people think that the hourly chimes is obsolete or useless but not for me. Time limits or other dictate sometimes dictate the path to wholeness and completion. I proudly use a Casio AE-1500 with big digits and 5 alarms as well as Smith & Wesson Cadet as my reality checking tools. I totally enjoyed your presentation.
Same here! I also have ADHD and the hourly chime features on some of the watches help bring me back to reality if I get distracted for too long or am in a "hyperfocus" state!
A watch is a statement piece to others that time is important to you... and (more importantly to me) to not waste mine. It is essential daily wear for any serious adult.
As a woman, I really agree with what you said. My sister and I have a word for this phenomena; ‘flowform.’ Going by the theory that all your clothes are loose fitting enough for a full range of human motion, you cannot UNCONSCIOUSLY walk the same way in a dress than trousers. One calls for litheness, fluidity, pointed toes, and an engaged core to support an arched torso preceding trailing limbs. If I wear a long nightdress in the house I move along softly and and deliberately like a child exploring a house in the middle of the night that hides a big dark secret. I can’t control it. It completely changes your psychology. The actors have always told us that they don’t feel their character until they put on the costume or hold the sword.

I wasn’t a watch wearer, and then a good friend of mine gave me a Rolex for Christmas two years ago. I first didn’t feel worthy of such a thing, but hey guess what - now I’m a watch guy!
If a friend gave me a Rolex for Christmas I would have so mamy questions I wouldn't know which one to ask first. "Bro, did you steal it? " "Are you gay?" "if you're not gay then why are you trying to get in my pants?" "How much can I get for this at the pawnbroker?" "Is it ok if I just buy you a beer for Christmas?" "What outfit do i wear to match the watch and can you lend me money to buy it?" "Does this mean I have to join the yacht club?" You get the idea.
@@DasGigPig Since you asked, I took a chance and hired him as a young leader years ago and coached & developed him to become a very high level manager that he is today. Him nor I are gay, but he has a high level of appreciation for me helping him advance in his career. He gave me a Rolex out of respect for the help I’ve given him and his family to live the life they have today.
As a high school teacher I wear my Bulova Marine Star. It seems to garner a sense of seriousness and respect not to mention a conversation piece with students.
Casio still has my heart - A168 for dress watch, F-91 For Sport Watch (because it's literally weightless) and AE1200WH For Tool Watch. I didn't even spend 1/100 of the cost of any of those other watches and it does the job :) But well explained.
Wow. Great choice. I also do that for my digital watches. But I also have Orient Bambino for dress watch, Seiko 5 SNZG for sport and field watch and Citizen Fugu for tool watch 😂😂
I remember my white faced Casio. I remember that I would often forget that I even had it on. This may have been back in the 80s. It was analog with a small digital timer.
This is the best ad I've ever seen for the purchase of an expensive item purely for image - externally perceived or internal 😄 Has me thinking seriously about it, like all of a sudden I went from zero interesting to wanting to go and find the watch that suits me perfectly
@@skyeiv8471Thank you. If he wants to sell you a watch, he shouldn't use a misleading title that implies he's going to talk about science backed studies.
this video, actually, reminded me of those school essays when kids have to write, say, 200 sentences on a subject they know nothing about. And they squeeze and squeeze and squeeze out some intelligent sounding nonsense. and it's so boring to read, you don't get anything out of it, though the words do compose into sentences..
A watch is one of the most personal items we have and experiences all that we experience. I have a number of vintage watches to the 1920s to 1960s that I love and even wear. I wish they could talk, telling the good, the bad, the sad and so much more, of the former owner(s) and their experiences. I feel a connection just holding them.
I wear a titanium Citizen eco-drive dive watch. I had no intention or desire to go diving with it. I just wanted a maintenance free watch that was durable as I hated the cheap watches I’ve had in the past that broke after a short while.
Well presented Nicholas. I have a lot of watches. But the Fears Brunswick Salmon spoke to me. I now have it to celebrate the first year anniversary of my company I created last year and it will always be with me.
A wrist watch is one of the few pieces of jewelry / adornments a man can wear without screaming - "this guy is wearing jewelry!" A lady can (and perhaps be expected to) wear jewelry to go with the occasion and dress - ear rings, necklace, rings, etc. add to the look on a well dressed woman. If a man wears more than a signet ring - even tie tack it more often brings down the look and even the status of an otherwise well dressed gentleman.
No kidding. Men get looked down for wearing necklaces after age 30, especially after age 40, especially if you are out of shape. People think you're a sleazeball trying to relive your glory years, while women can wear necklaces and other jewelry until they are over 100. Watches are the only piece of jewelry a male can wear when he's 5 and 105.
Consequences of the saddest part of fashion history. After XIX century men fashion refused all the fancy stuff (heels, makeup, color, jewelry...), leaving it for the women exclusively, on a try to make higher and lower class men more akin between them. I mean, they achieved it, now all men look the same in every fancy event lol
Yes! I don't know why but it always weirds me out when I see men wear heavy chains on their necks or wrists. Even rings other than wedding bands. 😖 No me gusta!
You are denying yourself and others of the pleasure of a nice silver or gold chain around the wrist. Wear something because you like it, let not fear be your ruler.
I concur. There is a sharp psychological contrast between my Hamilton Khaki Aviation and my Omega Seamaster 300. The Hammy is for 'tooling' around, where the Omega is about business and when writing big cheques.
Watches are very educational. The first watch I ever bought for myself prompted a formative (for me) discussion with my mother about our different philosophies about fiscal responsibility, specifically our personal views on the nature of risk evaluation when deciding whether to make an investment.
Wearing a beautiful watch, while so many do not, due to the lack of necessity these days, to wear one in itself is a maverick move. I myself love wearing an elegant watch. It’s a simple joy in an age of complicated technology. It doesn’t have to be expensive, just something that speaks to you personally!
Putting on a watch means it's time to go to work. Taking the watch off is the best freeing feeling in the world as it means it's a day off. Doesn't help sell wristwatches, but perhaps you can interest me in a nice walk clock.

Just remember to clean your wrists more often if you wear a watch, as well as clean the watch case back more often (especially in summer) sweat, skin oils and acids can stain some metals.
My watch was purchased 2 years ago from amzwatch and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.
A watch is a small machine that counts. No one really cares about *_your_* watch except you. Wear what you like and what you can afford and have some fun along the way.
True. Anytime I am wearing my Omega Moonwatch, I am feeling victorious. This is why I would wear it to any important event. When putting on my Seiko Arnie, I feel like an Action hero. Which is why this is my choice for the Gym. I love this 😎👍🏻🦅
Mine is 10 yrs old or more. I'm a girl. It's a nice men's metal watch, blue face. Patients always give me compliments on it. It is way better to glance at it than pulling out a phone to check the time. I feel naked without my watch and diamond stud earrings.
My first watch was a simple Swatch when I was 15. I absolutely loved it. And yes. It made me feel special. I can't believe I am this close to buying a luxury watch.
Much more elegant, professional and discreet to look at your watch in a business meeting or presentation you are running to ensure you are on-schedule than turning on your phone every so often. Clumsy.
This kind of BS language is typical of high net worth marketing. If the presenter was wearing a Motörhead T-shirt, sat in a garage telling you this, you wouldn’t believe him.
What he's talking about is subconscious choice not conscious choice, if you like it or not you are making these types of decisions with what you wear. Your watch to just tell the time then tells everyone that you don't care about superficial things but it's still saying that to other people.
The same type of logic with the presenter wearing a motor head t shirt in the garage instead and you not believing him is exactly what the presenter is trying to say about your choice of watch and what it tells people about you subconsciously. But no you don't have to give a shit about what people think of you subconsciously
The psychology of wearing a watch for me means that time is the master of me. I am literally wearing the burden of time. To be truly relaxed, I actively go without wearing a watch. If I go to an event requiring dressing up, I carry my pocket watch in my waistcoat. This even works when I have timed appointments. There are always clocks and time indicators around the town to not need either watch or mobile phone. Sometimes literally including listening to church bells striking the hour.
A young watchmaker named Edwin Fear established a workshop and showroom in 1846 at Nos. 33-35 Redcliff Street in Bristol. It was a family business, so the name "Fears" referring to them the Fears-family. I think the psychological effect of this is feeling proud for being a family member or to pass on the cultural heritage of owning watch, which belongs to an old traditional English family.
A watch is my reminder that time works for me, not the other way around. By being aware of it, I can better control how I spend it and thus be in control of time.
I grew up in poverty and never had a watch until my grandfather gave me a modest one for my high school graduation. It was beautiful. It made me feel powerful. However, as years went on in the working world, my watch started causing me a lot of anxiety. I became obsessed with what time it was, how much time I had left to get a task done, etc. I was counting every minute. I hated the watch and I hated work. So one morning, I left my watch at home. The day went by with ease. The anxiety of a formal schedule was gone. I felt peace! That was 1983. I’ve never worn one since. Of course now we have clocks on our smart phones. But I rarely even look at that either. 😊
For several years I stopped using a calendar and watch, just to feel free. However, at times a watch is very practical, and it lets you keep track of time in a discrete way. Even having a phone out in the open during a meeting or social event, sends a message that you are not giving the other person(s) your full attention. (At a dinner it's downright bad manners.) Interestingly, my millenial daughter began wearing a watch in her teens, for the same reasons I mentioned. I'm the happy owner since 40 years of a Breitling. No one can really tell, but yes, it does make me feel very well dressed. It does add a tiny bit of self confidence.
I grew up in poverty as an immigrant from Cuba at age 3. I busted my ass and became a medical professional. I now own 2 Rolexes and a high end Cartier. I gave my daughter a two tone Datejust 31mm as gift when she started college. When I see her wearing hers and the ones I am fortunate to wear on my wrist, it reminds me of where I came from and the hard work it tool to get where I am now. To me, they are a symbol of achieving the American dream.
Yes, this ^^OP. I was hoping from the title that he would mention the psychological impact of the constant reminder of 'what time it is?' and rushing for deadlines and meetings that wearing a watch inherently creates. I feel so much freer and able to go with the flow of the day when I'm not wearing my smart watch. But it does feel odd, my wrist feels lighter/empty, since I've worn one since the first Apple Watch, and before that worn an analog watch daily, and only this year started to not wear a watch.
I was on a very rugged 2 week rafting and hiking trip through the deserts of Utah. I wore my Rolex Sub. One of the people on the trip asked me why I'd wear such a valuable watch on a trip like that. I told them it's the most rugged watch I own. I can beat the shit out of it and it just keeps working. The crystal won't scratch, it can go under water and be plunged into mud. It's also been sort of my luck charm. I do have a G shock when I'm in countries doing expeditions where I worry about crime.
i wear an old withered watch. It was given by my grandfather before he died. Every time wear it. I feel like he's there with me. Giving me guidance on my actions and giving me company when im alone
I agree with the video, a watch is a way to state your style for the occasion. Even if you are the only one to notice the watch, people are gonna notice you...
Brilliant video! For the past 4 years I've been working on recovering from alcoholism and on my channel that I am posting from I review fragrances and the same can be said about them. I'm just dabbling into watch collecting and I don't have a whole lot of money to spend an exorbitant amount but I picked the watches carefully. Once again brilliant video
I was never a big watch person, and then, when phones became an (unfortunate) necessity, I didn't see the point. Now, when my phone dies or I just don't want to look at it because I want some time away from "the world", I think about having a watch again! What once felt like a constant reminder of time is now a peaceful throwback. So much less anxiety-inducing than being tied to my phone, and frees me from needing to keep the phone around simply to check the time, as well. (Not to mention, might be fun to explore finding a style). :)
Feel the same way and actually just purchased a watch. I’ve worn one for many years and then stopped when phones became our lives. Going back to the old way of telling time. 😊
My 'daily driver' is a Pulsar quartz, silver face with gold indexes, day and date, with 100m water resistance & on a fine leather strap. I think this falls under the general 'watch' category but on the elegance side. I work in an office all week, but is fine in my workshop at the weekend. Very happy, was a G-Shock guy for years.
True with any kind of watch, even the basic ones : I remember in the end of the 90s I had to make conferences in front of a lot of people, and I was not really comfortable with that. Then I remembered a teacher I had a year before who was handling the class with a lot of decontraction and humor, I bought the same watch as he used to wear, a simple Swatch irony, and then I succeeded all my presentations. 😂.
It's good to reward ourselves sometimes . While I'm not one to spend on high-end watch (I spend too much money on travel, lol), I can appreciate your gorgeous and timeless watch. I love how it's a symbol of all your hard work.And i choose NKUWAN every time honestly
My father owned antique cars and hardly ever drove them. In My hobby I get to put on my vintage watch and enjoy it all day long. At work for me is playing the violin so the old violin is connected to the arm with the old watch.

My parents gave me a Rolex Datejust as a graduation gift in 1984. A mechanical watch for a mechanical engineer. They are both gone now and I often remember them when I put it on my wrist. Plus, I feel a little more dressed up when I wear it. ⌚ There is something about knowing that the complex movement is ticking away tirelessly and flawlessly 24/7 that is very intriguing to me.
Yes..... this is a VERY understated comment....and a beautiful way to remember your parents a d appreciate your accomplishments as an engineer.....well done! (My Junghans Chronoscope, given to me by my grandfather, is my own daily reminder as well!.
When I first got into watches, I would be very strict about what kind of outfit to wear with a certain kind of watch, plus the color coordination between the strap and the outfit. Now I just throw it all out the window and have fun with a watch that contrasts with the outfit.
G-Shock GA310 and Seiko 5 are my daily, submariner black i only wear on special occasions and gmt master 2 pepsi is still in the box since the past 5 years lol. Only take it out sometimes just to admire it
I starting wearing watches as a teenager, and loved it. When my second watch broke it felt really weird not to have it, but I decided to go on for a while without a watch. 20+ years later, I still don't want to wear a watch again. My mobile devices and PCs I work on show the time, and it's enough. :) Besides, there are obvious reasons not to wear one: I can't scratch or break what I don't wear, it doesn't draw the attention of bad people, it doesn't heat against or cause sweat on my skin, it doesn't create the habit of constantly checking it for no good reason (including to show it off), etc.
I used to strictly wear analog watches and shun digital ones but now I've realized how versatile personal style can really be if you just wear something you like that just works with your outfit. I'm a big fan if Casio watches now and I have a few if the classics including two Royales; one for boys nights, one for work. I still rock my nicer pieces on nights out and at weddings but I'm never afraid to put on my green calculator watch just to have a timepiece. Wear your watch, dont let it wear you.

My everyday watch is a titanium Seiko Kinetic. The rest are all Seiko for different time and place, with two exceptions, a Longines dress watch and a Casio G-Shock. I'd also like to own an Omega, but it will have to wait. 😅
I agree. I am wearing a Flik Flak watch and it goes with every outfit and occasion. It's not just a wrist piece; it's a vibe. The way those seconds tick is like a personal soundtrack to my day, keeping me on beat in this crazy world. It's not just about telling time; it's about owning it - with style. Flik Flak, my time-telling wingman, making every moment count.
Watching this video makes me realized I really really like tool watches. It's not that I use them in the scenario it's been intended for but because of the engineering putted in it. I am doing software engineering. I just like to have technologically impressive things on me all the time to show the work of other engineers. Sometimes I also like to take a cheep Casio and modify it in a weird way to show my creativity.
This is true when I wear my Rolex with my suit it adds an extra boost of confidence. For me I’ve always loved dressing up and it was an attire that was a great confident booster but the Rolex with it added an extra kick that fits well.
@@kevinh5349I would be embarrassed to wear a Rolex,because it's so common,and stereotypical. But I am impressed when someone wears a quality watch and it's NOT a Rolex.

I had the Timex Expedition Tide. I loved and regret giving it away
Have the same watch, love it, and feel the same 😊

That’s the only watch I’ve wore for many years. Green face with a nice leather band, love it!
Timex was born in Waterbury, CT. In fact, CT was once known as the center of clock design and fabrication.

World time, not that model but others do
Dive time, just use the stopwatch or countdown timer
Plus many are solar and have atomic time
A bezel that rotates with a lume píp in case you need a countdown function and no hands free to push a button
My 60s mechanical Flica watch holds a bittersweet significance for me. It was my paternal grandmother's, a woman I never knew. She worked at the Geneve Flica factory before the quartz crisis and passed away when my dad was only 12. Her watch is the only link I have to her, and its ticking hands remind me to treasure the time I have before it too runs out. My dad gave it to me the day I got my technical degree as a touristic guide. I find talking about the watch and its history is a great way to connect with other watch enthusiasts and somehow sometimes it starts amazing and deep conversations about other topics with fascinating people.
What a great legacy!

@tahsina.c I don't think you're wrong per se.
In the past, there was probably a good statistical correlation between intelligence, competence, and dressing a certain way.
However today, so many people go out of their way to be flashy with wealth, independent of whether or not they are actually wealthy.
The simulation of the message has overcome the orignal message.
@@tahsina.cit's..... All an act
My parents bought me a children’s Timex and taught me how to tell time when I was only three years old and made me responsible for reporting home to them at required times. It made me feel mature all those decades ago when we were still free were free range children and all the other children were running wild and weren’t taught yet.
The fact is a watch is reminding you important situations in your life. That is important to you and gives you happiness and motivation.

If you love a case, try changing the strap / bracelet / chain. Itll totally change how it make you feel
Nowadays a watch is just an accessory to your outfit, we all carry a phone that tells time and date. Personally I own one do it all watch, which I keep changing the straps to match the outfit, occasion and personal mood. It’s fun and surprisingly women notice it and give positive feedback.

When I see a dude with a wristwatch and he checks the time on his phone. I know that dude has no idea what he's doing. He has no clue how to utilize his tools.
Who? Cares
The only reason I would check the time on my phone while wearing a watch, is to sync the time as closely as I can with the atomic clock. I wear mechanical watches and every now and again it can lose time (if I forget to keep it wound) so I check the time against the atomic time.
The percentage of Rolex Submariners used to dive must be around 0.00005%

So what!
Fact, most luxury sports/dive watches are in the same boat. People are free to buy whatever they want, because they want it period.
The Submariner is the standard that all sports watches are compared to.
It is an iconic piece that long ago became a go anywhere do anything watch. Rolex has no problem selling either.

This is basically an advert for selling watches. Women like a nice looking watch but most don't know much about them, so putting on an expensive watch is probably not going to impress her. And if it does then she is thinking about the wrong thing: money.

This is a video about the psychology effects of watches. This is not an alpha m. Video where did you get lost😂
Awesome presentation sir! For me personally (ADHD person with loads of anxiety) my watch gives me the perception of doable tasks using short timers and alarms. Many people think that the hourly chimes is obsolete or useless but not for me. Time limits or other dictate sometimes dictate the path to wholeness and completion. I proudly use a Casio AE-1500 with big digits and 5 alarms as well as Smith & Wesson Cadet as my reality checking tools. I totally enjoyed your presentation.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your personal experience! We're glad to hear that the video resonated with you.
Nice of you to respond in a mature fashion.
Same here! I also have ADHD and the hourly chime features on some of the watches help bring me back to reality if I get distracted for too long or am in a "hyperfocus" state!
This is the best, intelligent introduction to the joys and categories of watch that I have yet heard - bravo!
No, it's pompous BS that sounds intellectual. This video sucks.
A watch is a statement piece to others that time is important to you... and (more importantly to me) to not waste mine. It is essential daily wear for any serious adult.

As a woman, I really agree with what you said. My sister and I have a word for this phenomena; ‘flowform.’
Going by the theory that all your clothes are loose fitting enough for a full range of human motion, you cannot UNCONSCIOUSLY walk the same way in a dress than trousers. One calls for litheness, fluidity, pointed toes, and an engaged core to support an arched torso preceding trailing limbs. If I wear a long nightdress in the house I move along softly and and deliberately like a child exploring a house in the middle of the night that hides a big dark secret.
I can’t control it. It completely changes your psychology. The actors have always told us that they don’t feel their character until they put on the costume or hold the sword.

A watch is one of the most personal items we have and experiences all that we experience. I have a number of vintage watches to the 1920s to 1960s that I love and even wear. I wish they could talk, telling the good, the bad, the sad and so much more, of the former owner(s) and their experiences. I feel a connection just holding them.

Well presented Nicholas. I have a lot of watches. But the Fears Brunswick Salmon spoke to me. I now have it to celebrate the first year anniversary of my company I created last year and it will always be with me.
A wrist watch is one of the few pieces of jewelry / adornments a man can wear without screaming - "this guy is wearing jewelry!" A lady can (and perhaps be expected to) wear jewelry to go with the occasion and dress - ear rings, necklace, rings, etc. add to the look on a well dressed woman. If a man wears more than a signet ring - even tie tack it more often brings down the look and even the status of an otherwise well dressed gentleman.
No kidding. Men get looked down for wearing necklaces after age 30, especially after age 40, especially if you are out of shape. People think you're a sleazeball trying to relive your glory years, while women can wear necklaces and other jewelry until they are over 100. Watches are the only piece of jewelry a male can wear when he's 5 and 105.
Consequences of the saddest part of fashion history. After XIX century men fashion refused all the fancy stuff (heels, makeup, color, jewelry...), leaving it for the women exclusively, on a try to make higher and lower class men more akin between them. I mean, they achieved it, now all men look the same in every fancy event lol
Yes! I don't know why but it always weirds me out when I see men wear heavy chains on their necks or wrists. Even rings other than wedding bands. 😖 No me gusta!
You are denying yourself and others of the pleasure of a nice silver or gold chain around the wrist. Wear something because you like it, let not fear be your ruler.
Excellent clip. Thanks for putting the effort into producing something as interesting and engaging. 👏🏻
I concur. There is a sharp psychological contrast between my Hamilton Khaki Aviation and my Omega Seamaster 300. The Hammy is for 'tooling' around, where the Omega is about business and when writing big cheques.
Watches are very educational. The first watch I ever bought for myself prompted a formative (for me) discussion with my mother about our different philosophies about fiscal responsibility, specifically our personal views on the nature of risk evaluation when deciding whether to make an investment.

Wearing a beautiful watch, while so many do not, due to the lack of necessity these days, to wear one in itself is a maverick move. I myself love wearing an elegant watch. It’s a simple joy in an age of complicated technology. It doesn’t have to be expensive, just something that speaks to you personally!
Absolutely! Wearing a watch is a great way to express personal style.
Putting on a watch means it's time to go to work. Taking the watch off is the best freeing feeling in the world as it means it's a day off.
Doesn't help sell wristwatches, but perhaps you can interest me in a nice walk clock.

Just remember to clean your wrists more often if you wear a watch, as well as clean the watch case back more often (especially in summer) sweat, skin oils and acids can stain some metals.
My watch was purchased 2 years ago from amzwatch and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.

Much more elegant, professional and discreet to look at your watch in a business meeting or presentation you are running to ensure you are on-schedule than turning on your phone every so often. Clumsy.

Some people don't think about it, just buy a watch and wear it to tell the time. Simple!
Same. I agree. In German we say to Such a speech "Dummquatsch" 😅
This kind of BS language is typical of high net worth marketing. If the presenter was wearing a Motörhead T-shirt, sat in a garage telling you this, you wouldn’t believe him.
What he's talking about is subconscious choice not conscious choice, if you like it or not you are making these types of decisions with what you wear. Your watch to just tell the time then tells everyone that you don't care about superficial things but it's still saying that to other people.
The same type of logic with the presenter wearing a motor head t shirt in the garage instead and you not believing him is exactly what the presenter is trying to say about your choice of watch and what it tells people about you subconsciously. But no you don't have to give a shit about what people think of you subconsciously
@@h3xa-12A I gift watch to others, but don't wear one. I prefer wall clock.
The psychology of wearing a watch for me means that time is the master of me. I am literally wearing the burden of time. To be truly relaxed, I actively go without wearing a watch. If I go to an event requiring dressing up, I carry my pocket watch in my waistcoat. This even works when I have timed appointments. There are always clocks and time indicators around the town to not need either watch or mobile phone. Sometimes literally including listening to church bells striking the hour.

What’s the psychological effect of wearing a watch that says Fears on it?
A young watchmaker named Edwin Fear established a workshop and showroom in 1846 at Nos. 33-35 Redcliff Street in Bristol. It was a family business, so the name "Fears" referring to them the Fears-family. I think the psychological effect of this is feeling proud for being a family member or to pass on the cultural heritage of owning watch, which belongs to an old traditional English family.

I grew up in poverty and never had a watch until my grandfather gave me a modest one for my high school graduation. It was beautiful. It made me feel powerful. However, as years went on in the working world, my watch started causing me a lot of anxiety. I became obsessed with what time it was, how much time I had left to get a task done, etc. I was counting every minute. I hated the watch and I hated work. So one morning, I left my watch at home. The day went by with ease. The anxiety of a formal schedule was gone. I felt peace! That was 1983. I’ve never worn one since. Of course now we have clocks on our smart phones. But I rarely even look at that either. 😊
For several years I stopped using a calendar and watch, just to feel free.
However, at times a watch is very practical, and it lets you keep track of time in a discrete way. Even having a phone out in the open during a meeting or social event, sends a message that you are not giving the other person(s) your full attention. (At a dinner it's downright bad manners.)
Interestingly, my millenial daughter began wearing a watch in her teens, for the same reasons I mentioned.
I'm the happy owner since 40 years of a Breitling. No one can really tell, but yes, it does make me feel very well dressed. It does add a tiny bit of self confidence.
For me wrist watch helps me to slow down, be calm & collected but table / wall clock stresses me out.
I grew up in poverty as an immigrant from Cuba at age 3. I busted my ass and became a medical professional. I now own 2 Rolexes and a high end Cartier. I gave my daughter a two tone Datejust 31mm as gift when she started college. When I see her wearing hers and the ones I am fortunate to wear on my wrist, it reminds me of where I came from and the hard work it tool to get where I am now.
To me, they are a symbol of achieving the American dream.
Yes, this ^^OP. I was hoping from the title that he would mention the psychological impact of the constant reminder of 'what time it is?' and rushing for deadlines and meetings that wearing a watch inherently creates. I feel so much freer and able to go with the flow of the day when I'm not wearing my smart watch. But it does feel odd, my wrist feels lighter/empty, since I've worn one since the first Apple Watch, and before that worn an analog watch daily, and only this year started to not wear a watch.
Wow. A quite different response.
I was on a very rugged 2 week rafting and hiking trip through the deserts of Utah. I wore my Rolex Sub. One of the people on the trip asked me why I'd wear such a valuable watch on a trip like that. I told them it's the most rugged watch I own. I can beat the shit out of it and it just keeps working. The crystal won't scratch, it can go under water and be plunged into mud. It's also been sort of my luck charm.
I do have a G shock when I'm in countries doing expeditions where I worry about crime.

I was never a big watch person, and then, when phones became an (unfortunate) necessity, I didn't see the point. Now, when my phone dies or I just don't want to look at it because I want some time away from "the world", I think about having a watch again! What once felt like a constant reminder of time is now a peaceful throwback. So much less anxiety-inducing than being tied to my phone, and frees me from needing to keep the phone around simply to check the time, as well. (Not to mention, might be fun to explore finding a style). :)
Thank you for your comment.
Feel the same way and actually just purchased a watch. I’ve worn one for many years and then stopped when phones became our lives. Going back to the old way of telling time. 😊
My 'daily driver' is a Pulsar quartz, silver face with gold indexes, day and date, with 100m water resistance & on a fine leather strap.
I think this falls under the general 'watch' category but on the elegance side. I work in an office all week, but is fine in my workshop at the weekend.
Very happy, was a G-Shock guy for years.
True with any kind of watch, even the basic ones : I remember in the end of the 90s I had to make conferences in front of a lot of people, and I was not really comfortable with that. Then I remembered a teacher I had a year before who was handling the class with a lot of decontraction and humor, I bought the same watch as he used to wear, a simple Swatch irony, and then I succeeded all my presentations. 😂.
It's good to reward ourselves sometimes . While I'm not one to spend on high-end watch (I spend too much money on travel, lol), I can appreciate your gorgeous and timeless watch. I love how it's a symbol of all your hard work.And i choose NKUWAN every time honestly

My parents gave me a Rolex Datejust as a graduation gift in 1984. A mechanical watch for a mechanical engineer. They are both gone now and I often remember them when I put it on my wrist. Plus, I feel a little more dressed up when I wear it. ⌚ There is something about knowing that the complex movement is ticking away tirelessly and flawlessly 24/7 that is very intriguing to me.

Watches are so much important than we think. I noticed that when I was giving information to groups pf people.
When I first got into watches, I would be very strict about what kind of outfit to wear with a certain kind of watch, plus the color coordination between the strap and the outfit. Now I just throw it all out the window and have fun with a watch that contrasts with the outfit.
Like he said, you gotta learn the rules in order to break them

Thank you for sharing your collection!
I starting wearing watches as a teenager, and loved it. When my second watch broke it felt really weird not to have it, but I decided to go on for a while without a watch. 20+ years later, I still don't want to wear a watch again. My mobile devices and PCs I work on show the time, and it's enough. :) Besides, there are obvious reasons not to wear one: I can't scratch or break what I don't wear, it doesn't draw the attention of bad people, it doesn't heat against or cause sweat on my skin, it doesn't create the habit of constantly checking it for no good reason (including to show it off), etc.
I used to strictly wear analog watches and shun digital ones but now I've realized how versatile personal style can really be if you just wear something you like that just works with your outfit. I'm a big fan if Casio watches now and I have a few if the classics including two Royales; one for boys nights, one for work. I still rock my nicer pieces on nights out and at weddings but I'm never afraid to put on my green calculator watch just to have a timepiece. Wear your watch, dont let it wear you.
Yep, it's good to be able to select a watch to reflect a particular 'mood'!
Never wear a watch. So I’m watching this video to find out what I miss.
I don’t always wear watches, but when I do, I prefer the Wasson Automatic Field Watch. Stay timely, my friends!
It took me far too long to realize I'm too poor for this video. Still, excellent host/narrator and content. He might look like he's about to chop you into pieces, but other than that I have utmost respect for his ability to really convey good information and for pronouncing yachting correctly (actually I'm too poor to know that for sure as well, but it did sound correct).
You're not too poor for this video!
Wealth is not what you own.
I like everything about your clip; the topic itself, your mannerism, the way you dress (with perhaps one exception, your shirt collar).😊
I am 77, a retired engineer and a street busker who also likes watches, and I have bought 12 different ones, all under $1,000.
My everyday watch is a titanium Seiko Kinetic. The rest are all Seiko for different time and place, with two exceptions, a Longines dress watch and a Casio G-Shock.
I'd also like to own an Omega, but it will have to wait. 😅
Thank you!
i won the show and tell championship when i used your stories telling! thanks!
I agree. I am wearing a Flik Flak watch and it goes with every outfit and occasion. It's not just a wrist piece; it's a vibe. The way those seconds tick is like a personal soundtrack to my day, keeping me on beat in this crazy world. It's not just about telling time; it's about owning it - with style. Flik Flak, my time-telling wingman, making every moment count.
Watching this video makes me realized I really really like tool watches. It's not that I use them in the scenario it's been intended for but because of the engineering putted in it. I am doing software engineering. I just like to have technologically impressive things on me all the time to show the work of other engineers. Sometimes I also like to take a cheep Casio and modify it in a weird way to show my creativity.
Be careful, I started out modifying a couple of cheap watches, now I"m about to build my sixth mechanical watch from parts sourced on net. 😀
This is true when I wear my Rolex with my suit it adds an extra boost of confidence. For me I’ve always loved dressing up and it was an attire that was a great confident booster but the Rolex with it added an extra kick that fits well.
And those who know how to look will notice.
Be careful where you wear it....
@@kevinh5349I would be embarrassed to wear a Rolex,because it's so common,and stereotypical.
But I am impressed when someone wears a quality watch and it's NOT a Rolex.
Sad. I still can't afford a Rolex. I just wrote a $50K check to pay off my house. I wish Rolex would lower their prices so I can buy one.
@@JohnBowl14690 Why do you want to buy a Rolex?
