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

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

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

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).

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.

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

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

Watches and Beads
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

I think our watches look good enough by themselves.

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

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.

Thank goodness! I thought I was the only one that didn't get it
I mean, to each their own, but it just looks like someone trying too hard to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
