I am not much of a jewelry dude. No bracelets, necklaces, occasionally a decent watch. Not even a wedding band.
I wear a decent Fitbit metal banded (daily) watch for a watch (time) and to monitor steps and such. My son doesn't wear one because he has his phone to look at the time. Not me, I need to glance at my "watch" to see the time, not dig my phone out of my pocket.
It is hard to accessorize for a guy, IMO, other than a watch and or a ring.
I have some decent watches that I wear for special occasions, not daily. My job doesn't need that. I am sure that there is some though.
Back to rings. My go to is wedding band, college ring. Not daily though.
I have two rings that I wear - my wedding ring and also a gold ring I got in the Black Hills many years ago. I don't wear them daily, but pretty much any time I go out with the wife doing something social.
I lost my original wedding ring (to current wife) while driving. It blew off while I had the my arm out the window driving on the interstate. The ring itself was nothing special, and I like the replacement better anyway. Lost my first wedding ring (to the ex) while swimming in the Bahamas. Got a replacement for that one as well - ending up hocking it for gas money. :-) [Reply]
The ring started getting looser as time wore on. Must be a getting old thing - it's not like the rest of me got thinner since I got married 20+ years ago. But apparently my fingers have. Go figure. I was driving on a nice day and had the window down and my elbow out, with my hand resting near the rearview mirror. At some point it must have just fell off; noticed it not long after I got out of the car. Obviously I wasn't going to walk a 10 mile stretch of I-88 to look for it. [Reply]
I wear a wedding band that I’m not sure will slide over my knuckle, even with soap. I also wear a pinky ring related to my profession. I’m not a mobster.
I guess I am just a guy. I expect women to have a purse. That would be pretty handy BTW. Social norms, men don't have purses. Thus hard to accessorize. Bad example..
I guess beards can be an accessory...
Dunno.
I ended my thoughts, in that what ever makes you happy. In some fields, careers it is so MUST. Not mine..
I just wanted to get some thoughts from REAL men in the CP world:-) [Reply]

Understand. I don't wear my phone on my wrist that I can glance at. Plus, I am a cave man that doesn't really remember where my phone is. I have land lines at the home and at the office. "Just leave me a message and maybe I will call"...Life in the fast lane, Eagles song.
Damn, I just realized that I have more posts on this thread then brdsemy69 in 14 yrs [Reply]
