Men wearing bracelets
Haven't been around for a while -- but thought this was a TRF sort of topic.
Had never owned jewelry besides a watch, although I'd seen a lot of guys wearing bracelets, necklaces, etc. Last week, I received a david yurman black rubber bracelet with silver clasp as a gift. I started wearing it and found it to be a fun accessory. Today I picked up a woven leather bracelet from bottega veneta, which is great as well. Don't think I would wear a gold or diamond bracelet, but dark leather or rubber I'm okay with. Any bracelet wearers here? Or anyone with an opinion on this? |

I wear a james avery gold fisherman's bracelet on the right with a dark brown woven leather bracelet and a rolex on the left everyday! I like wearing bracelets on the same wrist next to my watch as well but am very picky with the material as to not scratch my watch more than i already do lol
My avatar has me wearing my AK with a wood bead bracelet on the same wrist

I've had a few over the years, I wear them for a time, tire of them and move on. I think the longest I've worn a bracelet has been a few months. They can be distracting while working out, and taking them off an on can be a pain.

If you enjoy wearing bracelets go for it. Personally, I wear my watch and wedding band only.

I wore a YG chain bracelet for years (right arm), but stopped about 12 years ago. Not sure why, maybe because I wear more SS watches the last decade or so.
They look good on some people and can be a nice accessory.

Generally not but sometimes I’ll wear a Col Littleton like this or a POW/MIA bracelet but always on the opposite wrist.

Thanks Tim! As is the case with all of these, at 9 inches long I’m afraid it wouldn’t fit right on my 6.5 in wrist. Thanks! |

I wear a bracelet every now and then but on the opposite wrist that I wear my watch.

I wear an oyster bracelet with a watch head attached to it every day, but have never been into the purely ornamental variety.

I have worn a gold bracelet, opposite arm of the watch, of one style or another for over 35 years. I'm a fan of gold jewelry and have a few rings as well. My current bracelet is a curb link design in 18K gold.

Ive tried it.
It never lasts more than a few hours. My dad wears a yellow gold bracelet alongside his yellow gold DD2.

brought up to only wear a watch and cufflinks as jewelry (with a wedding ring). I added to that my cross on a necklace as I grew in my faith. I do have a few s.t. dupont pens and lighters.

I have several and alternate as the mood strikes. I never wear one on the same wrist as my watch however. I read an article recently that said if a man is going to wear a bracelet it should be only one, don't stack them and end up looking like Johnny Depp. Seems to be a good rule to follow.

I occasionally wear a Speedometer on the opposite wrist. It works well with the DeepSea D-Blue. I've received lots of compliments about it and not the watch!

Thanks Colin.
There are Speedometer distributors in the US/International. I searched and found a US Jeweler/dealer. Be careful as there are fakes claiming to be Speedometer and cheaper versions on the market. A good indication is the price point. Buy from a reputable retailer. They come with certification of Authenticity etc. Here's a link to the Speedometer website: http://speedometerofficial.it/en/ Company Distributor USA: Kenro Industries Inc. 393 Jericho Turnpike 2nd Floor Mineola, NY 11501 Hope this helps.
