Yeah. Nobody 👏 freaking 👏cares 👏about 👏your 👏watch 👏.

Hey Norman. I have that same Citizen Promaster Diver only mine is blue with a sunburst dial. I also have the Citizen NY0040 Promaster. Both great watches. I think you're right in your assessment. Nobody cares, well except for fellow watch nerds. They might.

how does this actually wear, is it comfortable? I'm not too worried about the lug to lug, but I've seen other reviewers mention it was a bit uncomfortable to wear. any thoughts?

The only entity that is really impressed by my watches is my bank account.

Thank you. this video helped me repair the day jump lever.

No one cares about your baldness or hat collection either. Thanks for the random suggestion, Mighty Algorithm...

It's not that straightforward, "black and white". Some don't notice, some don't comment. Do an experiment as I did: hack your watch and wear it like that or set an obviously wrong time - much more people noticed than I expected. It's the compliment that's the problem - still not sure why. People do not compliment watches. I wear various jewellery and get compliments for various pieces A LOT more than for my watches.

When people are saying #mamacoo is a better option,I very much agree!

#mamacoo is your partner in young people’s fashion journey

So true. Thank goodness for the internet! I do have one watch that gets comments though - a bright yellow Casioak. Cheers.

I was thinking of getting a tattoo of a sub.on my wrist, but even that could cost me my arm ( they'd leave my leg). The only watch of my mine that's been noticed , by the ladies, at least : SNXK95J1 . Just recalled a swatch with Japanese numerals ( so cool & it dissappeared..) was spotted by a Japanese lady in Lisbon, i can still recall 1-3 in Japanese from that ( no brag but I can't remember last week!).

I bought this popular video watch from nkuwan , which was originally priced at a few thousand dollars, but now it's only $380! It's really suitable to pick up feces!

My dady bought one #nkuwan and he loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when he went out with it.

Yes, they are long. Not good

nkuwan I love you so much and watching your videos makes my day brighter

I commented on a colleagues watch yesterday. He was wearing an Oris. So I thought perhaps, since it was not an obvious choice watch, that he might appreciate a comment on it. But no. He did not really care about the watch at all. It was just to tell time.

It's true in many ways that Yes, it's very rare to get a compliment. But, I've been lucky to meet and make good friends through watches. There's even one watch which three of us own, the Orient Star RK-AW0004S. 😊

Excellent vid as usual and you are spot on. I am wearing my little Seiko SNK809 tonight and It think it is a perfect example of this. It is a small, somewhat understated watch that no one ever notices or cares about...but I just adore it. It fits me perfectly and I like to have options that are light on the wrist. I've got it on a nice burnt brown leather strap which is just perfect for spring weather.

On the opposite side: do you ever compliment a person for his watch? During the highest point of COVID-19, during a line-up, I saw a guy (complete stranger) wearing a mechanical chronograph! I complimented the guy & suddenly started talking watches, man that was way cool! 😎

Only other watch geeks know

I totally agree with other commoners not noticing our brilliant and specially procured time pieces. It still gives me pleasure to wear them though. Every time I visit my watchmaker they are very complimentary so at least I have that. Great subject Norman!

Not posts knobhead pivots! Guess your not as knowledgeable as you think you are!

Never had a conversation about watches I didn't start mate😂 I've long championed the Nivada as a credible re-issue not bandwagon jumper that looks more like the original Igeneer while not costing &14,000😂 Although my fave is the blue no-date

I guess it may be the area in which you live or the circles of people who you associate with dictates if people notice what your wearing. My last job, i traveled from Va, SC, WV, NC and even Indiana. I always worked with the higher ups in these businesses. So, they usually noticed when i wore a nice or unique watch. But , I'm the guy to give a compliment also. Plus it's alot of watch nerds in my area.

People wear watches for the wrong reasons. I was on an omega FB site and a guy posted his omega seamaster no longer meant anything to him, he was making more money now and he didn’t care, he could just throw it into the sea and it wouldn’t bother him. He asked if anybody else had the same feeling. I responded he should put it away in a drawer and in a few years he will find it again and it will bring back memories. People don’t care about your watch, it’s about you and the watch. The joy it brings

keep in mind that not everyone is complimentary, but they may have noticed that you are wearing a very nice watch

I was having breakfast with friends and one of them said ¨that watch messes with your head¨ I was wearing a Vostok with a 24 hour dial, so I presume he thought it was wrong and then noticed the dial markings 😁

You could be dying from a heart attack on the floor of the train station in NYC and passengers will step over your dying body to make their train.. So you really think they would stop, look at the ground and notice the watch on your epileptic spasming wrist as you take your final breaths?

The concept of impressing other people is interesting for what it says about how our tiny minds work. The people most intent on impressing never notice that they are themselves immune to being impressed and never notice anything about other people beyond whether or not they're gazing back enviously. (If they notice them at all, bystanders will probably have a look of contempt or hostility toward the guy in the loud, expensive sports car or whatever.) On the other hand, the instant connection with others who like watches is a very nice thing, as is anything that inclines us to see strangers as being in some way similar to ourselves. You would never bomb or strafe anyone wearing the same watch as you. I sure wouldn't.

True. Nobody cares. In the city I live in even less. Most here are students and those wear a Fitbit maybe but not to tell the time. 🕐⚙️🍸

from my experience, only people into watches would notice what i may wear , and we are few , but for ADs they definitely notice and examine what i wear at first time dealing with them , second time they may not bother.

This is true - I’ve owned countless watches from fashion watches to higher end grail watches - NOBODY ever noticed or said a word The ONLY watch I ever owned that people noticed? Tissot PRX 35mm silver dial - and then only by women because the watch catches the light well and looks pretty from any angle

It's just a great looking watch. It's always good to remember, it's about enjoying what you wear, if you're out to impress someone else, you're in the wrong game.

So far, I've only ever received two compliments...one for my Citizen Eco-Drive diver well over 10 years ago, and the Wise Hitman HIT66 recently got a "what Watch are you wearing? Nice!"

For those disheartened by “Nobody notices your watch,” don’t be disillusioned as thieves will take notice.

Absolutely true. The only times I’ve ever had my watch noticed, it has always turned out to be by another watch collector.

It's true. I was having lunch with two friends, and I noticed we were all wearing watches. I didn't say anything, and neither did they.

So very true... Nobody cares (unless they're a fellow watch nut) I've only had people comment about just one of the pieces in my collection - My Sea-Gull 1963. I've probably been complemented by about ten people when wearing it.

That is the God honest truth Norman. Us lonely watch nerds are few and far between. Yet, here I often sit and ponder what to wear. But whether that turns out to be Timex or Cartier, no one actually cares.

I fully agree! No one gives a hoot, apart from fellow watch nerds. But we really do...☺️ I have had two comments over app 10 years. One for my Omega Speedmaster, and one time for my Guinand GMT. But thats it.

I've held this Bulova hostage long enough, it was time for someone else to enjoy her. Norman, it fits you well. As for the Dan Henry, I've got alot of questions like what is it. It really looks like a vintage choreograph but without the maintenance. Thanks for the trade.

I want it! Wrote you an email already. :D 🕐⚙️🍸

All great looking watches

You did a fantastic move! Gorgeous Bulova!

The Ricoh is beautiful and the Wittenaur is fab,great choices Norman

Love this artsy style, so cool

Do you know about WATCHCRUNCH?

Very cool

Rotary ... No longer available ... How in the HELL do you buy one then ?

This is similar to one of the units I run, but I can't for the life of me find another one like it. D1 seem to know what it is, and have told me it's totally out of production, but I'm baffled as to what it is. I was given it by the UK's top fashion stylist of his era, Simon "barnzley" Armitage, ex head stylist for ID magazine and general super-genius artificer of the UK's elite punk / hiphop era.
