How does everyone choose a watch for interviews? Interviewing at Google and Amazon and feel like I should probably just go bare

I’ve got a bunch of watch guys on my immediate team and we’re all in the interviewer pool, so I think you’ll be okay. We’ve got everything from pie pan Omegas to Ochs und Junior to 47mm Panerais to Apple Watches. I would not worry about outwatching your interviewer - if they notice (they probably won’t), it’s a conversation starter. Only think I’d advise against is a tech wearable that’s out of date.

Thanks, that’s great to hear. I don’t wear tech watches at all but was worried my vintage Omega might look out of place

I'm going to give the other answer. You are being hired for the character you portray. Where what fits that character best. For Google, I might honestly wear a t-shirt jeans and breitling.

I literally don’t care what you’re wearing. You should try to not make your clothing a distraction from your answers

Thanks- I see this response a lot, which somehow only makes it harder to come up with an outfit. I’m likely overthinking it
