Curious what watch you are wearing. Lateral from a business casual on the casual side firm to a firm on the business side, where the juniors even wear luxurious watches. Peer pressure exists, but I also feel unnecessary internally. I currently wear an Apple watch. Should I upgrade it? I am a senior, FWIW.

I haven’t worn a watch since the smartphone was invented 🙃

100% don’t upgrade because of peer pressure!! Spend that money on an upgrade you actually want, whether it’s jewelry, designer bag, higher end clothing, or like luxury vacations.

I personally haven’t worn a watch in 20 years because I hate the concept of time.

I wear a Tissot. It’s one of the cheapest “nice watches”—the “watches are time pieces” people respect it and the “watches are jewelry” people don’t think it’s hideous.

I think the most frequent answer you’ll get here will be something from Cartier. As for your Apple Watch, people at my formal firm do wear them, but they seem to be getting less popular, especially with women. But if you’re senior and know your stuff, I don’t think you have to give in to peer pressure. Your watch isn’t a faux pas by current business formal standards.

Anne Klein or sports watch to track steps. I do not fall into the impress others state. It's my dollars. I spend them how I like.

Only get what you like and will enjoy wearing. I usually dont wear a watch at all and if I do it’s a vintage sporty watch. But I’ll spend $$$ on a purse or shoes occasionally

Tbh an Apple Watch is extravagant in my eyes so I think you should just wear what you want to wear! Also junior lawyers sporting fancy watches is wild, don’t they have student loans to pay off?!

A lot of junior lawyers either have family money or a lot of debt.

Nah don’t change. Or if you do, maybe just get one of those fancier jewelry like straps/bracelets for your Apple Watch instead!

It has really disheartened me and I feel I should be earning more money
