Default Buying a watch for work. E-pinions people in business professional settings pls!
Hey guys, I am looking to purchase a work usable watch (which at times I have to be suited and booted at). I quite like the black on black on black, but i'm not sure its quite usable at work or if I have to have a specific wardrobe to support it. I know next to nothing about work watches (or watches in general).

So Altitutidians I have come t hose of you in the know. The black or the classic white?

I'd go for the black one.

Have you considered any other models? Maybe some that combine black & white?

Speaking of Kenneth Cole, I own a rather classic Reaction that I think you would like, but I can't find it on Amazon. I'll look up the exact model a little later and give you that so you can check it out.
