My greatgrandmother told me she could judge a man by his shoes and watch. There is a very subtle message you are sending to some individuals ' I don't wear a watch because I am not concerned with promptness or comittments.' Silly? Maybe, but so are ties and lapel buttonholes. Just show up at a job interview in designer jeans and $200 athletic shoes vs another candidate in a cheap, but clean suit and tie.
I've actually gone to interviews with a watch on where the battery had long since died. I'd go through phases where I didn't want to wear a watch, but for an interview, I thought it was important to present a responsible image. If the interviewer happened to ask me what time it was, "Oh, it seems that my watch has stopped!" <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
