So while the Fossil you linked to might look good on a kid or on the beach, something like this Tissot Le Locle will automatically upscale you in the eyes of many people.
Well, it's not so much out of context as hyperbole, exaggeration for effect. My point was that I felt Will was being irresponsible by not qualifying his statement that anyone who does not wear a watch appears poor. I like Will, and I know he can take a bit of critique.
