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!

I think of the three options you provided, it’s an accessory. IMO the beauty of watches is that it’s something now so readily available (time), that can mechanically be so complicated to create that is shared amongst the world.
