Are watches worth it.

[Mtunguyaaz]

Every man ought to wear a watch!

 

[Wanaruona]

True. Kama una mteja serious wa a working classic Timex, talk to me.

Hebu pikcha I might buy it as a souvenir.

Hawker from congo aliwahi nionyesha 'rolex' saying it cost only 3k... I felt like slapping him and sending him back to congo with his knockoffs

Besides telling time, a watch is just an accessory. Psychologically, it provides the idea that as a man, you are time conscious, punctual, and values not only your time, but other people's time. Those who go for high-end and pricey watches are just demonstrating their taste and style, and their personality.

I think it is better for a man to have one, hata kama ni ya mia tano.

Watch ya 8k ni kitu ya kushtuka?
That's actually very cheap.

Watches that matter cost 250k and above, and they are bought to be family heirlooms or to mark milestones in life. Anything below that price is a wannabe. If you are just having a watch for old school's sake, you are better off with a simple Casio.

Vijana ya mtaa hawawezi tambua wamezoea smart watch. Hii ukinunua Una tafuta fake one. You keep on interchanging. So most of the time original Iko Kwa safe.

Hao mavijana wanaweza kuwa wameweka mabati kwa meno na chains stainless steel kama kumi kwa shingo na mangoto kwa mkono lakini 100% wanajua mali safi ikipita. Ukicheza unakatwa hio wrist.

My only gripe with expensive watches is the real possibility of kuchezewa kabaya more so huku kwa vumbi. Once saw a documentary about fake Rolex watches nikaogopa. Unalipia premium prices for takataka na hutawahi jua.

Watch ni muhimu sana. As an 80s kid, I value watches more than phones. Niko na Casio - bought it in 2017. Have been alternating with some other brands, but the Casio is like my statement wrist-wrap.

If you ever get stranded and your card is not working, then the value of that watch come to life. Legacy hotels and hotels run by families, will accept that watch as payment or hold it as collateral until your bank clears payment. Some private jet services will accept this as mode of payment.

In Latin America, it is also valuable currency that can get you around. In 2019, when US almost considered a military intervention in Venezuela, most rich guys used these assets as currency to evacuate.

So when you have some money, alternative assets are important.

Eti ununue watch ya serious dollars ushindwe kulipa deni? Bure kabisa. Ngombe ici

 

[reigai]

Let us agree. Kuna watch mara tatu.
i) Ornamental watches. the high end luxury watches costing in the excess of 200k a piece. offers nothing besides being a chronometer.
ii) Functional watches-mostly the digital watches with multiple features, relatively cheap compared to the ornamental watches. Apple series 8 watch about 60k.
iii) The ordinary watches from the streets worn by the majority. just for keeping time and making them feel good. Ata hio ya 8k falls under this category.

Guess the same can be said of cellphones and virtually every material purchase in life. To each his own.

 

[Shaka]

It is a good habit for a man to have one especially if you wear short sleeves. It makes you look good like someone with a sense of fashion

 

[cortedivoire]

Usiwai lipa more than fixed price Kwa watch

 

[Slim_fit]

Casios do well over 50K pia...

Simple ones like the F91W go for less than 3k. I was even surprised that it was the watch featured in the Morbius movie. It's a watch that will pass the message that you are a man with a watch without looking fake.
