What do you make of people who wear their watch like this?

pretty ghey to me. No man should ever wear his watch like this. Show off that Rolly or Breitling with pride..and not ghey pride.
whenever i see someone wear their watch like this i automatically assume they are liberals and I've been right 16 out of 19 times.

Some people in the medical field wear their watches like that to help them take a pulse. Most don't tho....

It was also a military thing to keep the face from reflecting

I have a friend who is a mechanic and wears his like this. He says it helps save the face against hitting shite

If I'm doing something that I have to worry about digging up my watch, I just take off my watch. But whatever floats your boat. I saw a guy the other day wearing a watch so loose I couldn't understand how it stayed on. No way I could do that having it twist around my wrist like that. But again, that's just me.

Assume the are impersonating a navy seal and call Don Shipley then raise a ruckus to out them for stolen valor.

They are snipers

I'm hard on watches. About 1/2 the time it's like that to prevent the face from getting beat up.
If you're worried about the ghey over small stuff like that, you prolly are ghey.

Back when I worked on cars it was to protect the face.

Was originally started by navigators and military scouts so they could hold a map / compass and also see the watch face while moving. Lots of real men wear the watch like this to protect the face and provide visibility while doing manly things. You have the ghey (and probably the AIDS too) for not knowing this.

Agreed.

I always think the guy wearing it that way has load of the ghey.
Or it's some sign of being abused and is a social media trend

I'm sure others have pointed out that there are practical applications for this (military, technical, etc) but I agree it looks pretty silly and effeminate to just walk around like that.
But what do you care? I also never got on board with guys wearing watches on their right wrist, and it would prove useful to me as someone who's predominantly left-handed. But I don't really assume anything about anyone based upon it.

I used to wear my watch like this at work for timing things while holding clipboards etc. You get used to wearing it in this fashion after a while.

Hey guys - we got one!

Never actually thought about it because that watch is attached to someone else's wrist. Why should I care?

I wore my watch like that for years in the military and made sure it was black and sometimes had a velcro cover over it. Was in the 82nd and in the Scouts in korea, just how we were trained for sun reflection purposes

I worked with some welders who wore their watch like that. They did it so the weld splatter wouldn't get on their watch face.

I can't recall ever seeing someone wear a watch that way in public, but I must say I find it less ghey than use of "Rolly."
