Watch "Etiquette" Question

Maganator · Oct 11, 2016

I used to do it in exams.

I wouldn't do it in a meeting though. Apart from anything else it may keep the client more alert to the time - and I charge by the hour 😗

*Just kidding*

Well, I tried it in a meeting today with no effect. Another hour wasted.

Another hour wasted; you mean to suggest that due to your watch action the hour was wasted or in any case it was to be wasted like that. My query is whether your watch played any significant role in wasting your one hour or not.

At least your wasted time wasn't televised as the debate was per the OP.

My team had a meeting with group president today and my boss took his day-date off and placed on desk at front (as he often does). No pic, so some of you will doubt it ever happened, oh well... He happens to have a diverse collection of nice watches so I never mind when he does it. Gives me a chance to admire his pieces during tough discussions... 😉

Could it be as well that the lights could bounce off their watches and into the camera lenses?

Taking my watch off had no effect on NOT wasting an hour being in that meeting.

BUT I did get out of a 2-hour meeting this afternoon, so maybe it was just a delayed reaction.

I fail to see how a <50mm dial is easier to see on a table in front of you than on your wrist. I also don't believe picking it up occasionally off the table to check time is less subtle than glancing at your wrist.

It's not the dial that's the problem. Once you turn 50 it's the little numbers and hands on the dial that are easier to see further away than the end of your arm.

I am not looking forward to that...
