Anyone wear a bracelet with their watch?

I’m curious if anyone wears a bracelet and do you wear it above or below your watch i have been looking at braided leather something without metal that would be friendly against my watches. Pics appreciated!

I don’t, but think it can look quite good with a casual/sports watch. Good to not be too doctrinaire about how to do it, IMO, just go with what you like.

Thinking of buying Cartier’s LOVE bracelet but would wear it on the other wrist if I ever get down to it. Metal on metal not a great combo.

I don’t get the allure of wearing bracelets on the same wrist as a watch.

I wear all my watches on a bracelet, but I never wear a bracelet without a watch. Probably it is just because a bracelet is the perfect amount for me

No, no extraneous jewelry. Wedding band & watch only. I'll go so far as saying pinky rings & university rings are tacky as well.

I wear a gold curb link bracelet on opposite wrist. Not everyone’s cup of tea but I have worn a bracelet of some sort for over 45 years.

That’s a big NO from me. I’m still getting used to wearing a wedding band after 1.5 years.

No bracelet. Just a watch, wedding ring and small gold cross on a chain under my shirt. I sometimes wish I had more personal style but I find it distracting. I appreciate others who can pull off a bit of tasteful bling but for me that's a big no.

I have worn braided fabric bracelets from Pig and Hen out of Copenhagen on occasion.
I have also worn plastic bracelets where some of the proceeds help fund conservation for the oceans and National Parks.
Most of the time I just wear a watch.

I don't wear a bracelet but if I did, it would be on the opposite wrist of my watch.

I wear a Philippians 4:13 bracelet always. When I wear a watch it is on the same wrist.
