It just feels like a manly thing to have and wear a decent watch. When I was much younger I would have literally broke it in an hour so it would have been a waste of money. It is a little bit fashion and more so function. I probably should have got the blacked out watch though. But I'm to big and beat up to worry about my reflection being visible to an enemy. That and I like the shiny stainless steel.
Buy and wear both at the same time. Kind of like buis.
