Is It Tacky To Wear 2 Watches At Once? (Bringing The 80s Back!)

Remember the 80s and wearing multiple watches on the same hand? I just may do it when I roll through Dubai in a couple of weeks! For shock purposes only of course! Would YOU do it??

I wore two watches, one on each wrist, when I was deployed in 2003-04. One was an automatic GMT and the other was a Casio with dual time function to keep track of the local time and three other time zones. I knew when it was a good time to call my kids in the US. Back then it was normal for leaders to have two watches on, not to make a fashion statement but because it was practical. My2c.

It could've been a Rolex although I thought it was a 90s Seiko divers with the red and blue bezel. I could be wrong...

I rthink they have to be the same kind if done on the same wrist. Chronographs with Chronographs, or all divers. If worn on seperate wrist then they can be different. Divers on one wrist and GMTs on the other.

Almost looks a bit tacky like mismatching sock colors if you don't coordinate them somehow.

Sorry Eddie, nothing personal. Great Collection by the way. LOL

I only wear two when traveling to a GTG.
There is NO way my watches are going through security any other way.

Well if they are both on NATO straps why no put both heads on one strap?

But personally I would not wear 2 watches. (MY 2 Cents)
