would you wear another accessory next to your watch?
As the title says, would you, and if you do, what would you wear with your watch? Ideally, something that wouldn't scratch your watch. I feel that a watch on a strap always feels fine on its own, but lately i've been feeling that a hunk of a sports watch on the wrist seems a bit unbalanced. Or maybe I'm just overthinking

I would not, the watch on the wrist is more than enough to be on its own. I would wear a bracelet or fitness band on the other wrist. That's just my preference.

Nothing right or wrong with that. I would personally not. But many others would. Just a matter of preference and whatever makes one happy.

Do you mean like beads or a friendship bracelet or something? I've been seeing more of those photos lately even in sale ads. I personally wouldn't do it because I don't accessorize. Other than a watch.

I prefer to let my watch do the talking, not a bracelet kind of guy, but to each their own.

I sometimes add one of my Lokai bracelets. My wife wears her tennis bracelet and others with her datejust. The thought of metal on metal makes me cringe, but I also wish I had more of her " just wear it" attitude.

Watch only on my left wrist. If I wear a bracelet it’s always on the other wrist.

When you're as handsome as I am, nobody notices 'accessories', anyway.

I often wear two bracelets on my opposite wrist but I’m not opposed to wearing one on the same wrist as a watch, provided the bracelet won’t scratch the watch.

Even a small bracelet can cause quite a bit of damage over time. It's jewelry so there aren't really any "rules", but I would not.

No, definitely not on the same wrist as a watch. Even fine cotton dress shirts leave hairline scratches on the polished surfaces of a watch over time. A bracelet especially metal or beads is going to scratch or possibly leave small dings on the case and bracelet of a watch. So for me it's a no. However, if it makes you happy - it's your watch so do whatever makes you happy.

I'll occasionally wear a bracelet on my right hand, but I'll leave the stacking of other jewelry with a watch to the Steven Tyler types.

I occasionally wear a Navajo silver bracelet on my opposite wrist when wearing my 5513 or my Seamaster, if I do then no rings.

No. But not because of some fear, but for me a watch is part of the "minimal lifestyle". For me one hand, one gadget is more than enough - sometimes even a lot :)

I don't because I have another wrist to use. I know it's done but not my style.
