Are watches worth it.

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.
Mimi hushanga sana kuskia mtu ananunua knock off.

If you can afford to buy a Rolex, you buy it directly from Rolex. The same with Hublot or any premium watch.

Those who are buying knock offs are buying from the black market because they can barely afford it. Or they're not patient to get on a waiting list -- if you want to buy a Rolex, you have to get on a waiting list for 2 years after your request.

Some luxury watch brands even require customers to write a letter begging to buy their overpriced products.

The human psychology is very interesting. If you make something scarce and exclusive, your customers will be begging you to buy your product just because of an illusion you've created.

Oh my God. Hii ni madness.
Do not be quick to call people's choices madness. Every man has what will work for him. You might not spend that much on a watch but you will surely spend it on another thing. Jut so you know, these kind of watches actually appreciate with time, like literally. Kuna video flani nilicheki ya msee alibuy a Rolex akiwa Vietnam in the 1960s for around $3000 at the time venye alipeleka kwa valuator akapata ni $1 million in 2022

Zinaitwa " Timeless watches or timeless classics" mkuu. If you don't wear a watch that is recognised by the " Swiss holy trinity of watches" bado huja tosha mboga.

Every man, if he can afford, should have a good watch and a pair of hand-made italian leather shoes. Ni hayo tu kwa sasa.
So it's acquired taste not really necessary. Me huona watch ikiwa redundant. Iko league moja na those wristbands, chains and beads you guys like but ni kukuongezea weight Tu Kwa mwili. Alafu ati it signifies you are a good timekeeper.. haha some of the worst time wasters ni watu naonanga na watches

:D:D:D:D you are a very impressionable mind. Izo casio used to be the in-thing back in the days pale high school. Highly doubt such a watch will impress anybody
But I guess it will impress watch enthusiasts who know it for what it is kama @Slimfit. Just the same way I would never be able to know hizi watch za sijui 1 billion bila google search.
