Do you think if a man doesn't wear a watch it says anything (+ or -) about him?

[javaguru]

I overheard a guy talking to two young girls (daughters?) about some things. What I heard him say was basically that if a guy doesn't wear a watch it says that he is disorganized and sloppy, probably goes from job to job without spending much time at any one, has a hard time committing to anything/anyone...blah, blah, blah.

What do you think? Agree or disagree? Buncha shit I say.

Anyone else think along these lines or make similar generalizations? Is this something that I just don't notice, or am I not as much of a judgemental bastard as I thought I was (if not I will be disappointed)?

Just curious.

Did he mention any specifics about the quality of the watch? Regardless, with cell phones it's outdated advice....

Two means to establish if a man has money.
1 a fine time piece, not flashy or gaudy but simple and understated but expensive and a fine piece of art
2 his shoes, comfortable simple and not the square fairy toe crap designer made in Maylasia they have now.

Other than that old men always know more than shit I forget what I was saying

seems to me a man would have more money if he didn't spend too much on shoes and watches!

I don't. I have a cell phone and clocks everywhere I go.

Artistic, Retired, Self Employed, Creative people usually don't. Corporate Monkeys who are slaves to the clock - usually do.

So figure out which side you prefer.

Well, I wear a watch, and I've had the same job since 1992.

I look at my watch and think why did I buy something that tells me it's time to go to work? Then I figured it out, I work to pay for the watch that tells me its time to go to work.

Cell phones are useless as a replacement for a watch. I can look at my watch and tell that it's 5 minutes 'til 9. The cellphone just says 8:55. An analog dial shows relationships and intervals, a digital display just shows data.
