So today was no different than any other day. By that I mean I was asked if I would be getting a smart watch, cause I like watches and that's a watch.
Another one that comes up fairly regularly - "I have a nice watch but I don't wear it much, it's a Fossil and it was like $200 I should show it to you sometime."
While wearing a Cal. 1887 Carrera a coworker said "You like watches huh, check this out." I just looked over at his watch and said "yeah, that's pretty nice" it wasn't though, it was some 50+mm Nixon in gold and it was not nice. The assumption being that 55mm Nixon > 41mm Carrera
I'm starting to get the feeling that people really don't understand my interest in watches. Does anyone else get questions like this? Do people expect you guys to rush out and drop your cash on an iWatch? Do they show you their 55mm monstrosity of a centre running seconds chronograph wondering why someone who likes watches is wearing such a small watch? I mean can't you afford a big watch?
