A Wrist Is a Terrible Thing to Waste

The Editors, GQ Magazine

We understand perfectly well that the phone in your pocket tells the time. That's cool and all, but we still think you should strap on a watch. A watch is the one piece of man jewelry (yeah, we just said "man jewelry") that we can fully get behind. Not only does it punctuate an outfit; it also says something about who you are—or, at least, who you aspire to be. So forget about technological advances for a moment. Think of a watch as you would a tie: Who cares if it's not purely functional? It still plays an integral role in what it means to be a man.
