Just curious, Do you consider watches to be Jewelry, an Accessory, or a Utility?

Obviously, jewelry and accessories can mean the same thing, so I'll clarify. Jewelry is usually for looks or sentiment, while accessories (belts, ties, etc) typically have a function as well.

Personally, being new in the watch collecting space, my watches are all "Jewelry" for now.
I don't find myself using them for the time since clocks are everywhere, and I've used the ones I've bought lately to add a bit of flare to my outfits. Smart watches (definitely a utility) just aren't pretty enough!

Watches are both Jewelry and Accessory for me. Looks good, adds to my enjoyment and has some functionality. I wouldn't call it utility since anything the watch does for me, other devices (that are usually on me) can do better.
