It's not that. I enjoy a good love story. I probably won't go see this movie, in all fairness. But that's a seriously ham-handed tagline.

Still have some stuff I need to add to my tool bag. I want to replace this lovely Bosch paddle bit set with a Milwaukee set. Already bent a few of them. I need to pick up a Klein Tools tick tester and either a Fluke Networks or Klein Tools toner set. I also wanna order a good pair of prescription safety glasses.

What if he likes the way it looks though? I know its a crazy thing to consider that people might buy things they like instead of consulting some internet forums first but sometimes, just sometimes, it happens.

Also, don't shop shame.

That's the watch equivalent of an Ed Hardy shirt. So if you're friends with those kinds of people, I guess it's fine.

I'm not big on the red font or that it's an overpriced Armani Exchange watch, but I actually like how it looks aside from those things. I think with a gray font it could look pretty cool.

Armani watch is bad because it charges a premium for Armani. People buy watches because A) they like it aesthetically B) prestige C) they get hard for dope movements. Armani is not prestigious when it comes to watches because they don't have the dope movements that give real watch brands prestigious reputations. The only legit reason would be because you like the look of it, which is a pretty poo poo reason to spend a load of money on a designer brand watch when you could probably get the real version it would be ripping off for a similar price.

Most people could not give a poo poo less about the movement of a watch. They like how it looks. It's a fashion accessory. Who cares if it's a Fossil? Let someone buy whatever they find suitable.

Pssh, you can't brag to your internet friends about owning a Fossil though. Which apparently defeats the entire purpose of buying a watch.

"Because you like the look of it" is literally the only reason to buy a watch these days. If you wanted to tell the time accurately you would just use the cell phone in your pocket. And I'm not sure why everyone is so hung up about the amount of money that someone else spent on a watch. Who cares? He's not spending your money on it.

I don't think anybody is really "hung up" here. Just trying to point out that mall-brand poo poo like Armani and Nixon watches are nearly always overpriced and you can easily find a similar-looking, higher quality watch from a respectable brand for much less money.

It's the equivalent of a Monster HDMI cable.

The point is that you aren't buying some cheap one because you don't give a gently caress, you are buying an expensive bad watch in an expensive brand. The look of it is 99% chance a rip off of a different good watch from an actual watch brand. If he was buying a replica then #yolo, but buying an expensive bad watch is dumb. If you dumb nerds still don't understand that then let me translate it to COD4 doritos speak for you: buying a poo poo expensive watch is like buying an alienware computer! Its pissing away money for no reason when you could get something objectively better for less, that is the reason why it is dumb.

The issue that you can't seem to grasp is there is no such thing as a "bad" fashion accessory. If he likes the looks of it and the price doesn't bother him, whats the problem? Sure it might not be to your taste or how you would spend your money, but I seriously doubt he thought about how you feel before before making his purchase.

People are going to waste their money however they like, that's kind of the point of this thread. Getting mad about stuff someone else buys is just silly.

Nobody here is mad, just trying to explain how some watches are priced well and made by reputable brands and some are overpriced fashion brand watches. Telling a friend they've overpaid for an Alienware isn't the same as being mad at them about it. Relax Dundee, you seem awfully hung up on this concept yourself
