You can tell a lot about how this person views the world by how they're utterly convinced that other men will look at their rolex with envy. I kind of pity people stuck in a frame of mind where they think they need flashy, conspicuous consumption to impress people.

For real. Each sentence made me want to throw up in my mouth. This misogyny combined with wealth worship and zero-sum outlook on life is an unforgivable character flaw. What a vapid, worthless existence.

Imagine basing your personality around a watch

[–] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago

It's pretty funny, as a person that likes watches, this guy is kinda right that a rolex is analogous to what you were obsessed with in highschool.

But he seems to be ignorant of the fact that watches are objects, girls are people, and highschool kids are dumb. It's super cringe to be obsessed with something just because of how you think it will make other people feel.

What does a 2006 Casio tell about a person, then?

Extremely accurate, just like my Casio.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I would agree, but mine is thrown off by several hours, and letting it set itself doesn't fix it

Casio Waveceptor owners looking at you like

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I haven't got a single clue why that is. I'd love to fix it. It's a great watch, I've had it since... well 2006

Untrue, sadly

Well, depends on your definition of monster hog, I guess

"Do you people not have phones" but unironically

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Hey, I like wearing watches, but that's because I like having the time on my wrist and not have to pull out my phone. And smartwatches can show me my notifications.

But this... is something else.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Expensive watches are bracelets for men.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

They absolutely are, they're one of the more "acceptable" accessories a guy can really flex with.

Shoes and watches, everyone likes nice shoes/boots and watches.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

TBH I think most men's watches look ugly.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

That's fair, I'm not a fan of big bulky ones (which is most mens watches) but something nice and slim with a good aesthetic and some shiny bits to catch the light can be a really piece of jewelry on the right occasion.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

Before we had smartphones, Casio had a sailing watch that reported the moon phase and local tides, pointed north when I needed it and had a really amazing customizable countdown timer. I couldn't be happier.

Now I have a smartphone.

I don't have a smartwatch but my wife does and likes that it relays her push notices.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

Lmao I swear, women get equated to literally any inanimate object from boats to now watches.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

IMO, Rolex watches look ugly. So a Rolex wearer either has questionable taste, or they're only interested in having a status symbol regardless of its inherent qualities. And that's whack as hell.

Casio >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rolex
