What is the border of watches you can wear with suits?

[IsteRed]

I have a big sympathy for military and diver watches recently and i want to get a few. I wear suits to work all the time so i thought that i might wear them SOMETIMES with suits,i'm talking about watches like this


Do you think it'll be too much?I think about wearing them once in a week or so, on fridays may be, I'm relatively young so i think i could pull that off.

Those are not watches that you would wear with a suit...not even sometimes! Those are very casual watches that you wear with jeans, shorts or a swimsuit.

I wouldn't wear these with suits at all. Hell a Timemex will look sharper than those.

Don't get me wrong i have dress watches i wear with suits, i just thought that i may wear some of these like sprezz? Like some of you wear bracelets with suits.
What about something less sporty but still sporty? like this

What's a sprezz? I would wear the Orient if it had a white or black face...yellow is more casual/sporty. Is your suit sporty/casual?

The only type of suit those watches should be worn with is a wetsuit.

absolutely not.

my black/ss submariner is as far as I go with a suit

Or cammies!

Watches like the Submariner, Orient Mako, and Omega Seamaster Professional can be worn with suits. Nothing with a rubber band or PVD coating should be worn with a suit though.

Spot on. In fact I have a Navy Seals watch that I keep specifically for scuba diving so I don't bugger up my nicer watches in seawater.
Seamaster, Speedmaster, Yachtamster, Submariner, Daytona, Yacht Club is about as casual as a watch with suits should be.

I've seen watches of the styles (the look ... not the brands in particular) below worn with suits. It's not my favorite combination ... but it doesn't really bother me.

The OP's watches are just fugly and juvenile, especially the first one. Might be OK for school, if one is a teenager I suppose. NOT for a professional setting, unless one is some kind of wannabe Jacques Cousteau.

The Ploprof is a legendary dive watch. I agree that the Luminox is juvenile looking but the Omega is a classic which looks a lot better on mesh.

Agreed.

It was that dayglo orange rubber strap that grabbed my attention here, definitely not for the office.
