lets say you’re in a timed situation. judge tells you you have 15 minutes to voir dire a particular set of jurors. it looks pretty lame if you whipout your galaxy s6 amd time with your phone or keep anxiously squinting across the room to see a clock on the wall. But if you discreetly look at your classy imtimepiece on your wrist asyour time is winding down, jurors might think, yeagh, this guy kind of has it together. maybe he is not a complete bonehead.
of course, this mightbe just foolish justification for a dumb purchase that a $25 watch from target would handle
the perception of others is of course irrelevant. no one cares or notices. they’re not close enough to get a good look anyway, even if they did care, which 99 perc. of people wouldnt.
the reason is because it does feel kind of good to have good stuff you put ona good suit, i carry an expensive type of mechanical pencil, you have an expensive briefcase, you just feel slightly armored. like youre geared up for battle
