All you stated in the first paragraph, are all ways the wrist watch makers use in marketing their watches, not benefits of having the wrist watch. If I need to lodge in an hotel, I'd pay. Not depending on having a wrist watch, besides how many hotels would the wrist watch company partner with? On the lavish black lifestyle, you see, someone stated that when you are been in slavery for a long time, and cannot set yourself free, you begin to buy things that symbolises freedom, in order to feel you are free. Most Africans have this slave mentality, so they need to associate with wealth and affluence in order to feel empowered. Eriokanmi: |

Why keep a watch for your kids especially children of wealthy men when such kids can potentially be a an alcoholic and drug addict and can pawn it off whenever he or she is desperate for a fix for peanuts, I have seen a lot of those boys in my university days who were constantly stealing and selling of their parents very prized jewelries to organize parties, spend on babes and to generally make waves on campus, never leave such an item for your children cos if they didn't sweat out to aquire them by themselves, they in most cases never values them 3 Likes |

These watches sef that can tell us the time we'll die or predict what will happen in future yet are more expensive than some people's future and present because they're original gold. Just to check time you'll spend millions because you want to pass it down to future generations. Do you know if future generations will still wear watch? 1 Like |

Sirhush:Any product which has been previously used definitely undergo depreciation in value. Imagine your grandpa bought a watch in 1990 at 100 Dollars. That was about 5000 naira back then. If you even sell it at 70 dollars today, that would be over 120000 naira. That's how we record progress in Nigerian economy 2 Likes |

lexy2014: Meaningful in the sense that you know what the watch is worth, it also says much about your bank balance. It tells the time for competition and show off but in all, it's just a waste. |

cutecommend: In the movie "Spectre", James Bond visited Q branch to pick up some gadgets for a mission. The only thing Q gave Bond was a wrist watch. Bond was expecting something more elaborate and dramatic that could do the job in the field and so he asked Q..."what does it do?" Q replied and said "it tells the time". Bro, there is only one job a watch does...it tells the time. |

I'm just okay with my smart watch that also provided fitness monitor. But these million dollar wristwatches serves little purposes asides it was made with gold, designs, e.t.c. it's all repetition. Any other 'wonderful' feature can also be found on the mobile phone 2 Likes |

DeepSight:Excellently put. It's mostly the name. It has no significant inherent advantage over regular watches. |

cutecommend: I am ashamed of the kinds of comments I read here. It obviously shows the level of suppression some of you are under. It is popularly agreed that illiterate population decide the election of Nigerian leaders. Some of you will just type rubbish because you want to be correct socially. Even if the elites decide to do it right, some of you will still decide to suffer. How do you justify a leader’s profligacy and reckless extravagance when the people are suffering? If it’s their hard-earned money, fine! But they keep increasing their salaries and allowances, while the issue of minimum wage has been lingering on for eternity. The future laughs at you… continue. |

A store of value. An asset that can be easily be converted to cash hence a legal way to launder money across countries. This is why whey you get arrested at the airport or border, they will confiscate your watch along with other suspected items in your possession. |

It's just all hype... A producer with hype will just produce nonsense and those who will buy for the hype will spend money on nonsense..... But last last Make God bless us.... Some of us here will buy it if they have that money |

The problem we have is the people wearing the watch. Politicians wearing watch that can feed 10,000 people. And the worst of all, this is happening in a country with serious hardship and poverty. Why is the black man wicked and selfish ? Where lies their conscience? How can people be so comfortable watching others suffer and be living large |

Nothing else but packaging. No matter how expensive they are, after one or two years you get so used to it that you start looking for another one. |
