This isn't entirely true. What a watch (or lack of one) communicates is entirely dependent on how it fits in with the rest of the man's outfit. If, for example, I'm wearing torn jeans and an oil-stained shirt, the message is 'I'm working at something that gets me dirty.' This message does not necessarily reflect on an individual's economic status (although some might interpret it as such). Similarly, an expensive silk shirt and some nice chinos or slacks might communicate 'I am wealthy/successful' without a need for accessories.
I would argue that a cheap Casio communicates 'I'm poor/obstinate' far more effectively than no watch at all does.
