I can't go without a watch. Remove mine at any time and there is a tan line. A watch is sometimes more than just something that tells time. It's also a piece of jewelry. Just as ladies get ear rings etc. I like having a nice clean and crisp watch. Looks professional and good with a suit when I'm at events. Some people don't bother, that's 100% ok, but I will never be without one and if I am going to have one it's going to be nice. Same with my suits, shoes, boots, and belt. I'm not one to go blow money but there are a few things I'll spend some on and nothing beats a nice watch or a good pair of boots. If anyone wants to get some boots made I know a maker on the Mexican side of the border and one in lower Texas. Their quality and comfort is unequaled by ANYONE. You just have to make the trip to have them measure your feet. The one in Texas can send a packet so you can take exact measurements of your feet if you want. I believe starting prices are $400 for the generic and prices go up from there based on how you want them designed. My bud just got his in with three colors of leather, his initials on them, and took a few months to make they were around $700. He got a pretty good deal on them. Feel better than your Nike's or Newbalances and last forever.
