Colorblind guy needs some help...
Which of these watches go with this shirt? Wife's out of town so I don't have my usual person to help matching shirts, ties, etc.

Sooooo....just from an aesthetic perspective (not nicest watch), which would you pair?:

1: Polar
2: Speedy
3: BLNR

Please don't try to match your watch with your clothes, other than the formality of one to the other. Casual clothes, three casual - and great looking - watches....you can't go wrong with any of them.

Hence my comment about being a fashion nitwit. I always try to coordinate colors with my watches and shirt :-/

Well, there's nothing wrong with that, per se. It's just not necessary....and a little bit precious, in my opinion. But hey, to each their own.

Now your wife isn't here, we can tell you you don't have to match your watch to your attire.

Actually, all 3 look good. The question is which one do YOU like most?

Precious? Pretentious? Or precocious? Either way, I think you are right. To each his own. My watch is really the only thing I have to accessorize and really the only thing I spend any kind of disposable income on.

My wife has earrings, necklaces, bracelets and all other kinds of jewelry. I really just have a watch and maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I enjoy getting dressed up (if you can even call it that) and figuring out which watch is the right one for the occasion. I drive a 10 year old jeep my idea of getting dressed up includes what you see in this picture and flip flops. I imagine we have some fairly separate the definitions of pretentious, especially in this forum where you have people asking which Porsche they should take out to match their Platona.

So thanks for the input and....to each their own.
