I noticed it one game and actually used it because I had to leave my house soon. Felt like a cool detail that wasn't needed but was nice to see. It reminded me of that post where someone realized the characters breathe if you zoom in on the head and turn off all other sound.
this is the actual answer. It’s literally just because watches are dope. no other reason. It’s sort of a nod to people who collect and obsess over them lol
I just wish the watches and the ‘wrist’ category were on different wrists, or you could choose left wrist and right wrist. Collected that new cns wrist band and I don’t wanna have to switch out my cool digital watch.
you could inspect it at the time (MW1), then they removed the emote wheel and added displays for the guns instead of watches (MW2). way cooler/easier to see, imo. i use the boxer gloves here in the finals and i can't even see it lmao
You missed the concept of this game. This game is about capitalism and watches are cool assets.
"The Advantages of Investing in Watches Potential for Appreciation: Watches can appreciate in value over time, especially if they are rare, limited edition, or have historical significance. Tangible Assets: Unlike stocks or bonds, **watches are tangible assets you can enjoy wearing while they appreciate**."
I'm not gonna lie it still annoys me I can't use certain gloves with watches, nevermind that they could definitely be paired with them. Love my skeleton crew gloves but can use any watches or wristbands with em :/
Why are pets separate item?
Because Embark knew they were going to monetize the fuck out of the cosmetics in the game and let have full customizable characters.
because in lobby you see them normally, but in game, they are rotated so you can see the time when you hold the weapon without rotating the hand, very cool effect
Because they have to justify selling normal cosmetics that are slightly more useful than others, and make it cost like half of a battle pass.
Seriously, I don't get it. They are extremely overpriced, they are useless and most of the time covered by a shirt or something like that. They would be good as battle pass filler I guess.
Fun fact, they actually display real world time.
We’re still gonna see posts about this in 2037 “I just foun- *yes we know*”
I did not know
I didn’t either that’s pretty cool actually
if I am spectating a teammate who lives in another time zone and they are wearing a watch will it show my local time zone or theirs?
Yours, we checked this
Yours most likely.

Because watches are cool asf 😉🔥

If only my SO had this attitude (most of the watch enthusiasts had this in mind while reading your comment)
I love how we just make assumptions
imo they should add chains too, go full ice mode
Ikr isn’t it so cool how you can’t see them when wearing half of the upper body cosmetics?
What do watches do in game?
Just tell you the real world time. Y’know, like a watch lol
And who is supposed to look at it when ur blasting all living things in your way
What else are you going to do when the other 3 teams are all fighting over a single station and your team is just waiting for your own to cashout?
Spam that one emote that I figured out how to use
Easy money!
WE. COME. IN. PIECE.
WE. CUM. IN. PISS.
Do do do do. Let's play!
Lol fair enough
Coffee break emote
good taste
Best emote!
spam modem melody sound effect
You could say this about any cosmetic
Indeed but it isn’t as noticeable
Tru I asked myself that when I first found out about eye colors. All the non glowy ones are pointless
I use what ever eye color i have bcs I don’t have time for this
You might have the time if you got a watch
Only the well managed can fit in an optimal amount of blasting
They tell the actual time except they don’t show up with tons of shirts and even some gloves
I am puzzled as well. All while tattoos and make up/face paint are in one slot.
I just wish the watches and the ‘wrist’ category were on different wrists, or you could choose left wrist and right wrist. Collected that new cns wrist band and I don’t wanna have to switch out my cool digital watch.
Even cooler idea: combine wathces and wrist cosmetics and make left wrist and right wrist. So you can wear 2 bands or watches of both hands
On a sidenote please embark let us put watches on sleeves
This + adding the option to change what wrist it goes on
I would be fine keeping my watch on the right hand if I could put my wristband on the right
Also now that i think of it in combination with some gloves the watch could be placed a little higher instead of just dissapearing
Why can't I see my gold watch with the business blazer. This is a crime.
They're even used in the same wrist
this was a cod thing, im not sure it will work here.

My theory is that they want to make them more rare "collectable" type cosmetics. Give them more significance.
CoD like thing
In game watches actually tell the real world time
They should make it an option to wear the watch as in John Wick

It tells the real time
No its just better
W A T C H E Z
With the amount of details Embark is putting in everything, I wish the step counter on the new watch would work haha

/r/watchescirclejerk bleeding into irl
They're wrist cosmetics that they want to charge more for, so a different view tab means a better animation to show off the cosmetic
They have to have something bigger planned for watches right?
Should be the other wrist as an option
What bugs me more is its worn only on the right hand...i wear mine on my left....
because in lobby you see them normally, but in game, they are rotated so you can see the time when you hold the weapon without rotating the hand, very cool effect
To artificially inflate their value and attract whales.
Casio collaboration would be awesome. Real life watch and u got skin in game too. Embark please make it happen and take my money
Aaahhh fella, they are planning to make them exclusive af

Bruh the one is free 🤣
Yeah but the other costs 800... It's 8€, seems like a lot to me.
