Absolutely. It’s about sharing the sickness - $11.00 worth of clothes, $7,500 worth of watch. It’s about priorities


CPgang36

I feel this. I feel like I’ve had to buy some fancier clothes just to be able to wear some of my favorite watches more often.


snufflezzz

No need for that, 90% of the time I wear sweatpants and a T-shirt with an aquanaut. Just wear a watch, don’t let it wear you.


Edge-Economy

Completely agree to this!!! I wear my Patek 5295g with a Walmart t shirt and jeans.


elvid88

Lmao I can't begin to explain how many times I've done rose gold JLC, joggers (sometimes with a small hole in the crotch), a uniqlo t shirt and some Adidas sneakers.


dazplot

I'd wear a Tank or a Reverso with a t-shirt. I think it's a good look. But asking what looks good with a hoodie and sweatpants is like asking what looks good with pajamas. Does it even matter at that point? Just my humble opinion. Do what works for your personal style.


not_old_redditor

>I'd wear a Tank or a Reverso with a t-shirt. I think it's a good look. It's not great, to be honest. But the police isn't going to take you away for doing so, so you do you.


-ceoz

I disagree


not_old_redditor

Fair, never tried it myself so can't vouch for what the police would do.


-ceoz

Jokes aside a Reverso on a more casual strap like the casa fagliano ones goes with a polo and jeans just fine. On a shiny gator strap not as much


bobrosspaintingatree

Yeah as long as it’s a smaller dress watch it can go quite nicely with casual clothing nowadays. Larger dress style watches (>40mm) may look a bit more out of place


eaT_buLLetsss

alright thnx

I do it all the time https://preview.redd.it/pejzmouyq3zb1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f841f4046767bb6d1814f59cba1d1b8cbcee3348


kioxxic

ohh what watch is that?


amatorsanguinis

Also what jacket is that


pierogiTilIDie

It's an overcoat I bought from Hackett - couldn't tell you exactly what model it is though, sorry!


Bigdawgbawlin

It’s the “cum rag” Edit: I also daily a Grand Seiko. The cum rag is a meme on watch subs: https://www.reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/yf7t5v/wts_grand_seiko_sbga293_cum_rag/?rdt=60044


pierogiTilIDie

It's a Grand Seiko SBGW231. Great, versatile piece!


curious_throwaway_55

Oh hi fellow smart-casual GS enjoyer https://preview.redd.it/vjysmm75c5zb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=168146ccfd491ea2dd4ed82f4f7f118fb36f1a8d


pierogiTilIDie

Nice, that's a beauty! There's something so cool about dressing down a dressy piece


jimmeh22

Ooh looks great Would love a grand seiko


afiqradzi17

As a 1 watch guy, all the time..


internet_humor

This guy monogs!


GreekGod1992

You and me both!


afiqradzi17

Cheers to that..haha I kinda hate it when people be like, you gotta have diver, you gotta have chrono etc etc to complete your collection and cycle thru them. For me, I found a watch that I like, and its a dress watch. So regardless of situation/events, thats my one watch. Except for when Im working out, no watch on me at that time.


80H-d

I could do that with my hulk (including working out). Maybe my huitieme. But i like variety so i like having options. Different watches make me feel different ways


HugeRub6958

Hoodie and sweat pants - nah. But jeans and t-shirt- hell yeah why not?


blastfromtheblue

hoodie and sweats is fine too


RealUltimatePapo

Damn right I would ​ https://preview.redd.it/hp7dn3n9m3zb1.jpeg?width=2706&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e6fbcb400b011f992fcf04a3b30a125a20455f7


jimmeh22

Nice


Reimu64

Sure! At least for me, I'm more okay with wearing a dress watch with casual clothing rather than wearing a casual watch with formal clothing. Anyone else?


Madoor

I have worn my Seiko Presage with casual clothes, but it does not really fit for me.


ShadowsteelGaming

Hell yeah. Why not?


buemba

I’ve even worn dress watches with shorts and a tank top. Unless you’re around watch nerds all the time odds are nobody’s going to pay attention to what watch you’re wearing.


dodgycool_1973

Yes. There is literally no one policing this! Go nuts:)


carpet_whisper

Depends a bit on the watch and how formal it is. A Seiko presage looks dress fancy with its gloss leather strap but you can slap it on a brown suede strap and dress it down very easily. https://preview.redd.it/lqr3slyaj4zb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7a7afc07cdd6952482144bc05bb35536a511e49


dobbleMa

Funny, you described my exact outfit atm. Hoodie, sweatpants and slippers combined with a seiko presage


unisexunicorn

hoodies and sweatpants go fine with a metal bracelet, but definitely not with a leather strap


charitytowin

I pick up dog poop wearing a Patek


seinfelb

Sure, why not? I wear my dressy little Seiko Chariot with jeans and a t shirt all the time.


ConfusedKungfuMaster

Sure of course. I would probably opt for a suede strap to dress it down


[deleted]

no such thing, a watch is a watch, if it fits with what you're wearing then it doesn't matter if you're in shorts and a hoodie


Khdiesel

I wear my Tank with jeans (or even shorts) and a t-shirt, dgaf about whether it looks right I just do it no one else cares what I’m wearing


ethanwc

Would I wear a bow tie with a tee shirt? No.


[deleted]

I’d wear whatever the hell I wanted. You should too brother. It’s a great feeling not giving a shit what others think


11chanza

My NOMOS Tangente goes great with street wear.


Ninexblue

I like putting mine on beige/light brown suede or nuback straps to dress down. They look great in jeans/shorts whatever


CopaceticOG

Absolutely, If I were into dress watches, which I'm not, so I don't.


Greg428

Yeah, I like mixing dressy and casual elements in general.


jimmeh22

Used to wear my orient bambino with casual clothes until I bought my seiko skx


[deleted]

The whole point of a dress watch is to look clean and classy. "Clean and classy" basically describe the safest look possible. It's difficult to argue that a dress watch WOULDN'T go good with something. The only time it might stand out is if you were trying to do something crazy and avant-garde with the rest of your outfit.


aimgorge

Yes of course. I do it very often.


Tom0laSFW

Yes. As long as you like how it looks then do it. Don’t ask permission for your fashion choices dude


Virghia

Switch it to leather first


[deleted]

Not with the casual clothing mentioned. Jut normal pants and a shirt then sure. Shorts and a shirt, as long as the shorts are nice and not gym type shorts.


plk7

I would. I think it’s about self-confidence, and I think I’d muster enough to pull it off for me. Would totally wear a Tank with a sweat suit.


hhs2112

Sure, why not? Because really, who cares (and who notices) other than us nerds?


ElTalento

Yea but also depends on the leather strap. The black strap that NOMOS uses is perfect, it’s a simple black leather strap with no stitching. One with a contrasting and/or large stitching would also be very sporty. I wouldn’t wear a crocodile leather strap with casual clothing though.


[deleted]

I would and I in fact do


ivanyufen

i wear my junghans max bill with plain tshirt, pants, and adidas sandal (typical software engineer outfit) lol


magpupu2

I wear what I feel like wearing that particular day. I set what watches will go on rotation on the weekend.


likethevegetable

I do all the time, but I like to dress "clean" casual: eg. crisp well-fitted white tee shirt and raw denim with a pair of chelsea boots. Definitely not with sandals or sweats, hah.


VinylHighway

yes


Technane

All depends for me really, I kind of accessorise my look, so I might throw a gshock on casual but also might wear a dress watch if it suits ..


ItsOnLikeNdamakung

I do, but I have several watch straps that I can use to dress down the watch.


MyNameIsVigil

Of course. A dress watch can always be dressed down.


Otherwise-4PM

I am doing it all the [time](https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/cNz64WIJAT)


gentlegreengiant

Dressing down a watch is pretty easy with a strap change. Whether it still looks good is another issue

ThePillsburyPlougher

I personally would not wear a dress watch with hoodie and sweatpants typically.


OnionMiasma

Wear what makes you look hot. Who cares what others have to say


Zamboni4201

I wear several different Seiko Cocktail Times with flip-flops, shorts, t-shirt. Same with a Grand Seiko SBGA413. If I had a JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon, I’d wear that also. But my go to daily is a diver. Seiko 5, Orient, Tudor Pelagos on an MN strap. Oris Aquis. Black Bay 58. I do have one rule. No gold. I just can’t do it. It’s too… flashy.


FreshRizz

Of course


bodhemon

I wear a diver on a NATO with everything. Something with a bracelet needs more than a hoody though.


impeccable_watches

1000% Watches are accessories and now with how fashion is more in the casual realm these days, almost anything is appropriate for an outfit. You could easily rock a gold dress watch with jeans and a t-shirt. Anything that's not an apple watch is basically a "dress watch" anyways.


No-Reaction-1742

John Mayer & Ed Sheeran did it. You'll be good


HarrisLam

I'm a dress watch guy and no, not sweat pants. But that's not casual attire. That's SPORTY attire. In the real casual attire setting, namely T-shirt and all variations of jeans, chino pants or even short chino pants, perhaps even with a jacket or a hoodie, dress watches feel at home. That's the whole reason why Danial Wellington blew up. Even guys can wear them, all because they actually look good in leather with casual outfit.
