Your thoughts on fashion are as irrelevant here as they are to Shedeur Sanders himself. But thanks for just kicking some thoughts around here! Go Buffs!
Not to be pedantic, but premium goods compete on features while luxury is selling a dream and experience. A middle aged white dude’s fitbit may provide more features at a high price, but doesn’t hold the intrinsic and extrinsic value proposition of a luxury timepiece. The addition of diamonds or “buss down” process elevated the intrinsic value and grants an added extrinsic social status. A feature only offered by luxury, not premium. So no, iPhones/fitbits/gadgets have not replaced the features provided by luxury timepieces. All they can do is tell time, but if a luxury consumer wanted to tell time, they could get a Mickey Mouse Casio which is the true competitor on features replaced by the premium product
Here we can see Shedeur enjoying the features specific to a buss down watch which can’t be replicated by standard premium feature competitors in the timekeeping space
Shedeur often texts me to discuss what he should wear around campus. Go Buffs!
If I recall correctly, several Oregon players acted similarly and I don't recall anyone here getting their panties in a bunch. Of course, I don't pay much attention to your panties.

Flex a Fossil is an oxy moron, or you’re in junior high in the mid-90’s. Kind of like flexing a Swatch around 1986 as a Jr high kid…
There are populations in this country that hold jewelry and watches like the people you know hold stocks and real estate. They are items that don't lose value and can be turned into cash quickly. So, pretty much the opposite of Boomer sh*t.

A Monocle and a jar of Grey Poupon. Maybe just parallel park his Maybach in front of the student section and Shedeur gets out of the back?
I would reply to this. But from your post, I couldn't tell if you were trying to start a discussion or just kicking some thoughts around.
??? Caribbean, South Asian, and Eastern European immigrants as well as some African Americans, in my experience, often invest in jewelry and watches--their past experiences can leave them distrustful of government and banks. Also, Cuban-American Senators.

Mechanical wristwatches are surging in popularity.
Go try to buy a new rolex. It's very difficult.
As folks have pointed to, there are a number of reasons why. But I don't think most people's reaction to Shedeur is "oh, watches are outdated."

Discussing the purposes of a watch has to be one of the dumbest conversations I have read on AllBuffs.
Umm, you sure about that?
What do you know? You probably don't even have a whole house fan.
Typical. It wasnt a very classy move on his part.
Like the others youre welcome to put me on ignore.
Walk around the streets of Rome. You can buy a dozen of them for 100 euros

WTF?

Why would anyone put you on ignore? A daily dose of insufferable is good for digestion.
He also starts 90% of the threads, so it would also make reading AllBuffs impossible.
The only people on social I see commenting on it in a negative light are CSU, Nebraska, and FSU fans
Expensive watches are status symbols, a way to say "I've made it." He shows it for the same reason he drives a Maybach.
It's a very elevated form of the same thing as when a young person wears a pair of $250 Nikes (with the laces untied)
Every generation of young people has it's own status symbols and fashion statements, which regardless of generation tend to irritate a certain number of members of older generations.

Everyone focused on the unspeakable horrors of a wristwatch while ASU is getting away with this…
And Miami
What in the actual fvck?
Damn. That was pretty ****ed up and I’m not sure how there wasn’t a legit brawl over there
