Important meeting today but nobody noticed the watch
馃檨 Maybe it was because I was the only guy there or maybe it was a sign from above that I need to buy a huge diver. If the good Lord would only provide more funds (I'm atheist, so I know he won't)
I often cast covert glances at the watches people are wearing during meetings I can't avoid.
But HR blatherers and marketing blowhards seem to wear the most boring or repulsive wrist adornments.
However, an engineering focus group meeting is often much more interesting, generally more eclectic and even some vintage to be seen, but I don't posture my wrist or invite comments like "Oh shit, is that the time?" while presenting my <insert name here>.
If I do spot an interesting item, I usually wait until the break (tea and biccies) and casually mention that "I noticed your XXXXXX, nice piece".
Sometimes the conversation just tapers off into small talk, but on the rare occasion, I meet another WIS.
That's when the meeting has value for me

So don't worry if nobody notices your prized possession, one day, your prince will come.
