I'm on my phone all the time in meetings. Otherwise, I'd be bored to death.

This isn't Russia. No one gets written up for that. People literally go on Facebook during meetings here.

so yeah, that just proves my point...my job is strict, hence the increase in compensation, making it my definition of a "real job". if you work in like data entry, who cares

maybe that problem goes away in entry level jobs like data entry...but then it comes back in higher level engineering meetings

you're wearing the wrong watch/wrist band. my watch is like 10.4mm thick (make sure the diameter/lug to lug is appropriate for your wrist size too) and stretchy colored bands

but you never have meetings?

i'm at a computer like 80% of my day

Great! There's only a few people in the medical field here. I think DarkRoast is an internist and Matchabuu is an RN.

And I wear a watch everyday. Smartwatch as my daily driver and my Tissot for dressier functions.

I just got married last Saturday and had our photographer get some detail shots of the Tissot I wore. He thought it was a nice watch and paid particular attention to the movement on the back.

I might've shown this already at some point, but it's a Tissot Visodate Milanais.

The black watch face and the stylized "Tissot" were on point with my tux. Evening attire, of course.

that is SHARP. don't hesitate to wear it more casually sometimes. a good automatic watch should not spend the majority of its time in a watch case

Thank you, however I absolutely hate wearing it for fear of scraping up the case. It already has a few nicks on it.

There are much more expensive watches out there obviously, but I wear this one on special occasions. My smartwatch daily driver is both more useful to me and costs half as much.

I'm happy with my Apple Watch. Most friends/colleagues wear luxury watches but I really enjoy having the notifications/etc on my wrist for ease of viewing in meetings.

As for being written up for checking your phone in meetings... that's a new one. If it was training, then maybe they may let your line manager know that you were not actively participating or something, but... still sounds lame for that to apply to regular meetings - what if it was a work email?

Watches are meant to be enjoyed. If it gets scraped up a little it can always be polished/buffed out later

Like most (real) luxury goods, they usually go up in value so in some ways you may be getting it for free...

If I were to buy a luxury watch I'd want to keep it in good condition (like my car). Wouldn't wear it if there was a high risk of damaging it - I'm not that loaded lol.

Lol that's my feeling. Use the Toyota as your daily driver, then take out the 911 for the weekends or special functions.
