Ice on the Wrist

Let's talk watches. I love watches. For me, a watch is what makes an outfit pop. A good watch is to an outfit like a good rug is to a room; a rug brings a room together, just like a watch brings an outfit together. Or, both are way more expensive than they should be and only get noticed when someone's looking. I'm not 100% kidding, either. One of the most important dynamics of watch-wearing is the price, and what it says to the people around you. If you are wearing a Rolex that costs more than most people's engagement ring, you're gonna look like a tool. If you're wearing a watch that looks like it was the toy from a happy meal, you're gonna look like Raymond from Rain Man,  and not in a "oh wow, this guy is probably way smarter than he seems" way but in a "this guy is almost definitely retarded" way. The goal should be to strike a balance between high society and, well, low society. So medium society, I guess. For me the epitome of a "middle society" watch is this Bochi watch.




This is the watch I wear everyday, so I may be a little biased, but I think that it says I care about the way I look without being a tool about it. This watch is ridiculously inexpensive but somehow doesn't sacrifice any quality. So, for prospective watch owners, consider what you want your watch to say when you're wearing it. And then buy this watch because it's tight. (It's only $8 on aliexpress.com!)
