I keep seeing everyone talking about $9 and $14 watches....what's the deal, is everyone cheap, or broke?!?
A watch is a piece of jewelry you wear every day...functional jewelry, but jewelry just the same. Guys don't generally get to wear as much 'bling' as women, so you need to make what you do wear, count.
Nowadays you can't tell a cheap watch from an expensive one at a glance. Look at how many $20-$100 "Roll-ex" Rolex knock-offs there are.
As for a watch being jewelry, I'd rather spend it on earrings, a ring, bracelet or necklace. A watch is just a watch. Something that will inevitably break.
If you're not a broke college student...the grow up a bit, and spend a little cash and get something that is NICE, and makes you look more like an adult.
A watch doesn't make you look "more like an adult" any more than an expensive cell phone or laptop or tablet does. Adults are (mostly) a bit more discerning.
