Can someone please explain this strange fashion trend to me?

Shamorai · 28 December 2016, 01:44 PM

I'd hate to see the scratches they would cause...

vman · 28 December 2016, 01:53 PM

Years ago European tourists started to wear cheap(ish) bracelets acquired while vacationing abroad. This custom turned into a trend. Now it is overhyped.

Yamazaki · 28 December 2016, 01:57 PM

Its not a fashion trend. Its just bracelet makers trying to sell bracelets using the popularity of wrist watches.

Your 100% right. They are piggybacking off high end couture to make it seem like they belong.

brandrea · 28 December 2016, 01:58 PM

I can't.

Coffes4closers · 28 December 2016, 02:14 PM

Horrid.

TG3N · 28 December 2016, 02:32 PM

Much beloved of try-hard poseurs on social media, usually with their car steering-wheel in the background of the photo. Utterly ridiculous (and that's without even accounting for the heinous scratch potential).

RoleyPolly · 28 December 2016, 02:26 PM

I am not a fan of it.

~JJ · 28 December 2016, 02:30 PM

It needs to go away, please!

Al1969 · 28 December 2016, 02:45 PM

Sorry don't care for it. Plus I think detracts from the watch and potential scratches. And as your pics show, many have simply gone over the top on this one.

Bigsykedaddy · 28 December 2016, 02:46 PM

Sorry to anyone who likes this style but, man I find it ridiculously ugly.

Glidelock · 28 December 2016, 02:54 PM

Oh no! I mean seriously, I can't un-see this...and I think I just threw up a little bit in the back of my throat!

TheRolexKingofLV · 28 December 2016, 03:03 PM

Pass.

yunach · 28 December 2016, 03:20 PM

Can't understand it. Not a fan.

No doubt a fashion fad that will soon be replaced by something equally revolting.

SonnyAK · 28 December 2016, 04:11 PM

Not my thing

albmich · 28 December 2016, 04:13 PM

Tried it for 2 days. Scratched the crap out of my watches. Not really worth it unless you go simple with one bracelet that's wooden beads. In that case it would work

DeeTee · 28 December 2016, 04:19 PM

I can understand wearing it on the opposite wrist.

Yep!

Not for me either.

Not my thing. No offense to those who like this look. I have seen it "tastefully" done and looks OK on some but not something I would wear. Also seen it less tastefully where it looks like a neon sign wrapped around a watch.
I like to stare at my watches, don't want anything distracting me...lol

Shamorai · 28 December 2016, 09:16 PM

I think our watches look good enough by themselves.

RKTudor · 28 December 2016, 09:27 PM

I blame it on Anil Arjandas

I like simplicity. So, would not like beads on the wrist when wearing a Rolex. Not a fan.

rmlovett1 · 28 December 2016, 10:32 PM

Must say I'm guilty!

but it was soft, and my daughter gave if to me as a gift, so obligated

wasn't a bad look, just not everyday for sure.

Hard to resist the "daughter" gift

especially when she's the last child left before the empty nest
