Just curious, Do you consider watches to be Jewelry, an Accessory, or a Utility?

Obviously, jewelry and accessories can mean the same thing, so I’ll clarify. Jewelry is usually for looks or sentiment, while accessories (belts, ties, etc) typically have a function as well.

Personally, being new in the watch collecting space, my watches are all “Jewelry” for now.
I don’t find myself using them for the time since clocks are everywhere, and I’ve used the ones I’ve bought lately to add a bit of flare to my outfits. Smart watches (definitely a utility) just aren’t pretty enough!

    I wear watches because of utility (and I guess a bit accessory as well). I wore Timex Weekenders before getting into Watches, and I’ll still wear a Casio Duro should anything ever happen to my nicer watches.

    I wear expensive (to me) watches because then I also get to wear jewelry.
