3 Reasons Why Luxury Watches Are Overrated (Yes, Even That One You Just Bought)

The CNY Showdown: Watches, Wealth & "Haolian" Syndrome

Ah, Chinese New Year. The time of red packets, reunion dinners, and—let’s be real—the great annual flex. This year, I saw the usual suspects: friends rocking the Hermès bag, flashing their shiny new luxury watches, and talking (very loudly) about their latest achievements.

Now, don’t get me wrong. If you’re doing well, I’m genuinely happy for you. But there’s a difference between sharing success and using it as a measuring tape to look down on others. Some people don’t wear expensive watches—not because they can’t afford them, but because they don’t see the need to haolian (show off). They’re understated, subtle, and have nothing to prove.

 

And honestly? I respect that. Because let’s be real—luxury watches are a little overrated. Here’s why:

1. A Price Tag Doesn’t Equal Style

You can wear a million-dollar watch, but if it doesn’t match your vibe, it’s just another expensive mistake. Watches are meant to reflect your style and personality, not just your bank account. Just because someone wears high-end brands from head to toe doesn’t mean they have style.

Would you rather wear a piece that truly suits your personality or just flex a logo? Because trust me, real style isn’t about price—it’s about presence.

2. Status Symbols Don’t Make You Interesting

Some people think slapping a luxury watch on their wrist instantly makes them the main character. But here’s the truth: A watch can enhance your presence, but it can’t create one. If all you bring to the table is your net worth, conversations get boring real quick.

Watches are about storytelling. They should reflect who you are, what you stand for, and what you appreciate—not just what you can swipe your credit card for.

3. You’re Paying for the Hype, Not Just the Timepiece

Let’s be honest: luxury watch prices have gone insane. A big chunk of what you’re paying isn’t just for the craftsmanship—it’s for the brand name, the marketing, and the flex factor. And for what? To tell the time? Your phone does that.

The real flex isn’t about spending six figures on a watch. It’s about knowing what looks good on you and wearing it with confidence.
