According to psychologists, when you meet a new colleague or potential business partner, they form an opinion about you in the first 10 seconds. Any, even the most small detail your image can "speak out" for or against - even without your knowledge. And, as you know, unconscious bias very easily becomes a stumbling block in matters of business partnership and mutual trust. Today we will discuss why knowing the etiquette of wearing a watch means paying due attention to your business reputation. Take our advice and feel confident every precious second of your time.

Business is time

Glancing nervously at the clock face during a business meeting is like walking along thin ice: put yourself in a dangerous (read: awkward) position and minimize the chances of your salvation. Even someone who is not too savvy in non-verbal communication, a counterpart will instantly feel uncertainty or a simple desire to escape from you. It is unpleasant for anyone to think that communication with him burdens the interlocutor, and he is in a hurry to leave him, right? Give up the "uncomfortable" habit or learn about the following little trick: if there are objects on the table in front of you and your interlocutor that partially block his view of your half of the table - a work stationary phone, a puffy folder with documents or an open desktop planing - just put it in front of them mobile phone and discreetly follow the progress of the time allotted for the meeting. Someone does it differently: before the meeting starts, instead of a smartphone, he puts on the table the wrist watch, but this is fundamentally wrong: remember that this wrist accessory is an indispensable companion to your office style and a silent indicator of erudition in matters of business etiquette.

Leave on your arm during a meeting: Men's Watch Credo made of 14 karat gold with a strict, laconic case with smooth lines and a textured dial, reliably protected by a sapphire crystal.

Right bank, left bank

"Which hand to wear the watch on" - a user request on the subject of "wristwatches" that has set the teeth on edge in any of the search engines... If you haven't even thought about it, perhaps you should leave it as it is: after all, comfort comes first. However, we also do not recommend rejoicing ahead of time: “image is nothing, convenience is everything” - not at all about the business sphere, where your wristwatch is almost equated to a business card. Etiquette and purely practical considerations dictate that the watch be worn on a hand that is not “working” or “dominant”. In other words, right-handers should wear them on the left, and left-handers should wear them on the right. So they will not cause possible inconvenience in performing everyday activities and restraining movements: you can, if necessary, hammer a nail, and sign documents, and computer mouse"Drive" on the table without any additional weight load on the arm. Finding out what time it is also does not require unnecessary activity of the "working" hand: without taking it off the same mouse, it is easier to raise the not involved in work and find out the time.

It is easier to rule the world together with the Forward watch made of 585-karat gold with a Swiss movement, a dial with volumetric Roman numeration and a strap made of genuine leather with an alligator texture.

Left rudder: we wish a fair wind in solving work tasks and time that plays into your hands: a watch with a quartz movement, additionally showing the date, day of the week and lunar phase in this case will become your ideal companion.

Reliable fixation

The tightness of the watch strap turns out to be just as important in creating a positive first impression. Pay attention to the length of the strap: when fastening the watch on a man's wrist, there should be no "slackness" and no turning of the dial from the "front" side down. The watch should fit snugly against the hand, however, without squeezing - you can check the reliability of the fit by sticking your little finger between the strap and your hand. Too tight and "squeezing" the wrist strap looks ugly and causes unnecessary inconvenience, which will certainly affect your behavior and gestures, as well as their subsequent interpretation by interlocutors. Do not forget to make sure that the watch is worn slightly above the wrist bone.

Fasten on your wrist in accordance with all the rules: a gold watch with a classic round case from the Forward collection.

Taste and color

The width and size of the body may vary depending on taste and style preferences, however, only within the "norm". For business watches, it is as follows: a classic round or rectangular dial can be from 34 mm to 50 mm. Too "small" watches are unlikely to look complimentary on a strong man's hand, too massive - certainly not allies for a thin wrist. If your goal is to add solidity with a status accessory, forget about bright colors and too abundant accessories: an ideal watch for an office should have a strict round or rectangular case and an unmarked leather strap of muted dark color(black, brown, dark blue, dark gray shades). The watch can be either silver or gold; the design of the dial is both completely laconic and more original - for example, multi-level and textured dials are at the peak of trends in men's fashion today.

Choose what is right for you: a silver watch with a dark blue leather strap from the Pulse collection, a silver watch with a complex layered dial structure and an interesting combination of Arabic and Roman numerals from the Drive collection, a Credo gold watch with a dial with a curved top carved and decorated with satin Sun rays»Bottom.

Strict compliance

It is considered incorrect to wear a wristwatch - no matter how stylish they are - on the cuff or over the long sleeve of a man's shirt - they can only look out of it a little. However, this applies only to a formal setting: in a non-working one, an explicit demonstration of the clock takes place on quite legal grounds.

Good for an urgent meeting or a board of directors, as well as for gatherings with friends: functional chronographs from the Motion collection; gold watch with a multi-layered three-dimensional structure of the dial from the Credo collection.

Successful combination

Jewelry with clocks is a prolific topic for the multi-page work "How to Combine Properly Without Harming Your Reputation". By jewelry, we mean in general all style-forming, regulated by a strict office dress code - even your cufflinks belong to them. Remember: the gaze of the interlocutor scans even the smallest details of your image in order to subconsciously decide who you are - a leader or a follower, an ally or an enemy, a future partner or "wasted time." The unspoken rules of official receptions prohibit wearing platinum and silver bracelets and rings with yellow gold watches or, conversely, silver watches and gold-colored jewelry. If the watch has a silver not only case, but also a bracelet, you should forget about cufflinks with gold elements. The fear of combining a gold watch with a leather strap and gold cufflinks in one image, on the contrary, is completely in vain.

Double indicator of the present male character: gold cufflinks with watches from the Credo collection, silver cufflinks with watches from the Motion collection; silver ring - with a watch from the Drive collection.

Describe yourself in three words

Everything has its time, and therefore its own clock. The lifestyle of their owner is truly a defining criterion in choosing this accessory for everyday wear. Everything is quite simple here: give preference to executive models if you work in the office, and choose sports ones if it is already 18:00 on their dial and you are free for the usual strength training. Do not change the terms. "You won't get a second chance to make a first impression," is a phrase simultaneously attributed to Coco Chanel, Bernard Shaw and Allan Pisa, author of the iconic body language series. We would not say more precisely.

For successful self-presentation: sturdy, reliable and practical gold watch with a stylish yet laconic design.

Do you wear your watch in accordance with etiquette or do you not think about its rules?

There is an opinion among the people that things for personal use absorb the energy of the owner, and therefore it is not worth transferring and wearing other people's clothes, underwear, accessories. You can only change things with very close people when you know that there is no malice in them.

Folk omens

Much depends on the mood of the person who transfers the items for use. It would be better if you personally know the owner of this or that little thing. If the watch is inherited, then you need to pick it up and listen to your feelings.

If your relative has lived a decent life, did not suffer from serious illnesses, then the clock will not be able to transmit negative energy... Moreover, if the thing is pleasant to you, then feel free to put it on and wear it.

It is undesirable to buy and wear second-hand watches purchased from pawnshops and other places when you know who the owner is. If you bought such an accessory, then it would be right to consecrate it in a church or carry out a cleansing procedure with holy water.

Perhaps, there is no living object on the planet that could do without this rightfully named substance. People are no exception. Water is life. Few of us are puzzled by thinking about this pattern. Water is omnipresent. Perhaps that is why it has become for us something ordinary, familiar. Only a few people remember its unique properties.

The miraculous properties of water were noted by our distant ancestors. For this reason, the ancient peoples worshiped bodies of water. In the Middle Ages, water was used to remove damage and the evil eye, to treat mental and other ailments.

The ancestors were sure that water has a positive effect on youth and beauty, if it is properly spoken, sanctified, charged with silver. By the way, some of these rites are integrated into the mainstream religions. True, many of the past ideas about this mysterious substance have been supplanted by general education.

According to the results of research by modern scientists, the magic of water has acquired a scientific character. At the beginning of this century, Japanese researcher Emoto Masaru established that water has a memory - it stores and transmits information.

Somewhat later, the ability of water to understand the data stored in it was confirmed. This probably explains this unique property water as cleansing from physical, energetic and spiritual dirt. To do this, it is necessary to lower the object to be cleaned into the water for three days. The effect will only be evident with daily water changes.

Applicable and running water, in which the thing is kept for half an hour. In any case, you cannot do without reading Our Father. Often, consecrated salt is added to the water for purification. Thus, amulets, watches, charms, jewelry are cleared of negativity.

If you feel overwhelmed with negative energy, regular dousing can help get rid of it. cold water... A contrast shower would be a good solution. It is important to know: such a procedure is contraindicated for people suffering from CVS ailments, asthma, and diabetes.

How to cleanse yourself in this case? It is enough to lie down in a warm bath and imagine how the water relieves your spirit and body from illness. This procedure is also relevant for people who are constantly plagued by failure. It will be useful in a bathroom with water sea ​​salt, which in itself is a good "sponge" that absorbs negativity.

Flowing water is an excellent remedy for everyday problems. It is enough to tell her about everything that worries you. In the near future, these problems will remain in the past. During the ritual, running water should not hear about your successes, happiness, since it is able to carry them away. Therefore, our ancestors tried to avoid singing by the river. Tip: never sing in the shower, as in this case, too, you are dealing with running water.

Water is not only a "cleanser", but also an effective barrier to negative energy. A shower or bath is beneficial for depressed, nervous, and often tired people.

Joint water treatments make peace with quarreled loved ones. It is known that dreams can come true, including bad ones. To avoid this "perspective" will help immersion of hands in the river while remembering the details of the nightmare.

You suffer from sleepless nights, each time in front of the side, put a glass of water at the head of the bed (poured out in the morning!). Water is reliable protection hearth from envy and evil eye. Every time guests leave, wash the dishes and mop the floors.

Water is a kind of wish-fulfilling agent. Write on paper what you want (no negative words are allowed) and place it under the glass pure water... Rub your palms and place them on the sides of the glass without touching it. Say your desire out loud three times. Drink the water slowly.

You can wear someone else's watch, the main thing is to be sure that it does not contain negative information. If the clock brought trouble on you, then try to carry out the ritual of purification with water - so you can protect yourself from destructive negative energy!

Is it possible to wear someone else's watch, give a watch, pick up a watch.

A huge number of beliefs and traditions are associated with watches, which appeared a very, very long time ago, but are in demand, to this day. Is it possible to wear someone else's, give, throw away watches and many other questions almost every person has, and the answers to these questions are not always straightforward. So, let's start to understand them and look for answers.

Is it okay to wear someone else's broken or broken watches found on the street?

How often do we come across finds? Agree that if not regularly, then at least several times this happened to everyone. Money, jewelry, watches - anything you like, because if someone loses, then someone will definitely find it.

But there is in this situation next moment- It is very difficult to argue with the fact that almost all people are superstitious. Therefore, having found any thing, not every person will pick it up, and even if this happens, then doubts about the correctness of their actions will not be long in coming. Of course, any sane person first of all thinks about safety, both his own and his family, so questions about whether it is possible to take the things found for himself will be absolutely logical and understandable.

It is also worth noting the fact that most people only know that it is impossible to lift other people's things on the street, but only a few know why. Or maybe it's not so scary? This is precisely what we are going to understand today. Let's talk, perhaps, about the thing that has become an integral part of every person's wardrobe.

Watch can rightfully be called a part of our life. For a long time, this attribute symbolized both the eternity of time and its transience. This accessory has always been attributed to magical properties.

Everyone knows the opinion that every thing has its own energy. And she gets it from the person to whom she belongs.

• Since we are all different people, it is simply impossible to be sure that a stranger's watch, and even more so found, has absorbed exclusively positive energy - therefore, in accordance with the omen, such a watch cannot be worn.
• And at the same time, if you are going to wear a watch of a person close to you, who has no malicious intent towards you, wear it with pleasure.
• The watch that you inherited will serve wonderful amulet, but only if you received them on the free will of the owner.

But with broken and shattered hours things are a little different:

• Broken clock have long been considered bad luck, and carry in themselves failure and misfortune for their master. Such watches can not only be worn, but also stored at home, as they emit negative energy.
• It is believed that broken clock stop the life of their owner, taking all the vitality to move forward. A person loses the desire for life, and there is not enough time and energy to achieve the set goals.

In order to protect yourself from such negative phenomena, you need to do just a little - immediately fix the broken thing. Agree, the way out of the situation is really simple.

Almost from childhood, we are used to trying on the clothes of friends and family, changing things temporarily or forever. But is it worth doing this with a watch?

Is it possible to measure, put on someone else's watch, change hours?

Since watches are considered things of personal use, it is not worth changing them, and it is not just a matter of omens. It is quite easy to explain such an opinion, it is not customary to do so simply, just like, for example, changing underwear.

• According to popular beliefs it is believed that a person who tries on someone else's watches also tries on the life of their owner. In this case, everything should still happen only on the basis of your desires. If you believe in this omen, then seriously consider whether it is worth it before putting on such an accessory.
• Our ancestors believed that not worth putting on and trying on things of people who are sick with serious illnesses, the deceased, as well as the bride and groom, since these things have too strong energy and are not always good.

• But, despite all these warnings, you need to remember that a lot depends on how you yourself feel about such signs. After all, one cannot exclude the fact that many things are passed down from generation to generation and at the same time do not cause any problems to their new owners.
• Changing for hours it is worth only with those people in whom you are absolutely sure, because by exchanging a thing, you also exchange its energy.

Next, let's move on to the most common sign. Choosing a gift for family and friends, your choice can quite justifiably fall on this stylish wardrobe item. But there is far from one person in your environment who will assure you not to make such presents, explaining that you cannot give a watch.

It is considered a bad omen to give a new one and re-donate someone else's watch. But why is it generally accepted that this is so? There are several reasons why it is highly undesirable to present such a present:

• Since the clock symbolizes time and life, it is believed that by making such a gift, you reduce the life of the person to whom it is given.
• And giving a watch to your beloved and to a loved one, you doom yourself not only to constant quarrels and disagreements with him, but also to parting.
• It is also not customary to give any watch to the newlyweds, since there is an opinion that such a present will bring squabbles and swearing to a couple, and subsequently - a divorce.

If you are really inclined to believe this omen, then it will be useful for you to know that you can give a watch by taking a small symbolic payment from a person in return, for example, and basically, these are small coins. Thus, you kind of buy them, rather than receive them as a gift.

Is it possible to buy a watch for yourself

It is in this case that our ancient signs allow us to act with absolute safety, but it is worth adhering to some tips:

• If an accessory chooses woman or girl, preference should be given to oval or round watches, or other shapes, but always with rounded edges. It is believed that it is this form of the product that will provide a woman with a happy and carefree life, as well as success in personal matters. But buying a square-shaped watch, a girl condemns herself to "carry an overwhelming burden" and do all the male work on her own.
• If he buys a watch for himself Man everything should be exactly the opposite. Guys should choose a rectangular or square shape dial. Having given preference to just this form, it is generally accepted that a man will be successful in work, his finances will always only grow, and only in family life there shouldn't be any problems at all.

Today we cannot say how the shape of the watch affects family life and the financial situation of a person, but we would like to believe that by listening to these recommendations, you can really get the promised.

Today, a lot has been said about wristwatches, but what about wall clocks? In principle, there is no significant difference in these accessories, since they perform the same role.

Is it possible to hang someone else's wall clock in the house

Here I would like to note that not only watches, but also other things indiscriminately should not be “pulled” into your house, and even more so, you should not do this when you do not know the owner of these things. By bringing things that previously belonged to other people, you can decently "litter" the house. Do you need this - decide for yourself.

If the desire to hang someone else's clock is so great that you are ready to ignore all the signs and superstitions, then be guided by at least the following recommendations:

• When purchasing a watch, it is advisable to do it with your friends. Thus, at least you will know what the fate of the owners of this accessory is and will be able to assess the possible risks.
• Buy only serviceable, working hours. You should not take a watch that "does not run" in order to repair it.
• There is also no need to take a watch with a broken dial or a watch with other damage to the house.
• If you liked the watch, it is in good condition, and its previous owner is familiar and pleasant to you - take the purchase and hang it up at home with a positive attitude.

It often happens that we like the thing that has already been in use and is sold hand-held. But is it safe to buy a watch this way. Let's figure it out.

Can I buy a watch from my hands?

It's no secret that buying things from your hands, including watches, whether they are new or used, you can save a lot, but is it worth it? The opinions of people, and the signs, do not give an unambiguous answer.

• The sign of buying watches from our hands again tells us that by purchasing such a ticking accessory as a bonus we can get of various kinds diseases and a dose of negativity.
• It is also believed that sometimes people spoil for such items, and then sell them in order to get rid of their problems, and you accordingly buy and take them over.
• On the other hand, more down to earth, you need to understand that we are all human. And most people sell things out of necessity without any malicious intent.

What position to take for you, and what to believe, the choice is only yours. Losing some things, we do not attach any importance to it, but is this happening with the loss of hours? Probably not.

Why lose your wristwatch on the street?

There are many options that explain where the loss of hours can occur. Let's consider the most common ones:

• You are reminded that wasting time does not lead to anything good. This is such a kind of call to the fact that you would reconsider your life and perhaps decide to change something.
• Also, the loss of hours may indicate that difficulties will await you in the future. That time "stops", you will not develop, and all your affairs will "stand still".

• Another option to explain such a loss can be called the following: a certain stage in your life has already ended and passed into the past along with the lost watch, and ahead new round time. But what it will be depends not only on signs and superstitions, but also on yourself.

With that, is it possible to use the watch of a person whom you know everything is clear, but what to do if you find such an accessory and its owner is unknown?

Why find a wristwatch on the street and can you pick it up?

There is no consensus regarding this belief. In some sources, it is strictly forbidden to raise the clock on the street, while in others they say that this is just a sign from above intended for you.

• In one version of this sign, it is believed that at the moment when a person passes away, his clock stops. Therefore, picking up such a find is extremely dangerous not only for health, but also for human life. Taking such an accessory for yourself, you risk taking away all the diseases of the deceased person. Having picked up such a watch, you can take all the negativity of the disease for yourself and doom yourself to suffering.
• Also, before interpreting the meaning of such a find, you should pay attention to its appearance. Other sources indicate that if you find an unbroken, working clock, then this is quite good sign... Such a find symbolizes new opportunities that will soon open before you. These can be both job-related opportunities, for example, promotion, and family life, for example, a new acquaintance, or a new stage in a relationship.

• If you found a broken or stopped clock- it is worth seriously thinking about where you are spending your time. Such a find may warn that you will spend the precious minutes of your life completely irrationally. In such cases, you need to remember how fleeting time is and that you cannot return it back.
• It should be noted that such a ticking find can also remind you that you have forgotten to fulfill your promise to someone. Try to remember who and when you promised something and correct the situation.

What if you find a watch on the street? It's up to you, of course, to decide, but if you are superstitious, then perhaps you should just pass by, because few will want to check on themselves whether it is true or not.

Sometimes it also happens that we can forget about our close or friends about our hours. What do the signs say in this case and is there any mysterious meaning in this at all?

Why forget a wristwatch in someone else's house?

• If you forgot the watch with one of your friends, then depending on the shape of the dial, you can talk about the following: acute-angled clock- to disagreements, resentment, perhaps even to the fact that soon your friendship will end. Round or oval watches- to reconciliation, long-term friendship, understanding.
• Lost watch at a loved one is a wonderful sign. Your relationship is likely to go very well and have a happy ending. Such relationships, as a rule, easily pass all the tests of time and only become stronger from this.
• But if you forgot the watch of a person who is unpleasant to you, then this can only mean that you cannot stop communicating with this person as quickly as you would like. Most likely, unpleasant conversations will drag on in time, and you will have to see and explain with this person more than once.

• Forgotten hours at work, may indicate that you are not doing your own business and, accordingly, do not get any pleasure from this process. In such cases, it is recommended to think about whether you are doing, maybe you should forget about all prejudices and forced situations and just allow yourself to do the business that would truly interest you.
• If you forgot the clock on the holiday or walking - this suggests that at the moment your priorities are in favor of relaxation and enjoyment. You need to think about whether the accents are right, and whether things are really needed.

The most unpleasant omen is to break the clock. But why is everyone so afraid of this? We will now find out the answer to this question.

Why does a wristwatch break?

The sign of a broken clock is quite ancient and it never boded anything good.

• The most common interpretation of this sign is this: if the glass cracked in the clock - this is to the illness of one of the family members. V to a greater extent, so it is commonly believed for the reason that the watch, as mentioned earlier, symbolizes life and the transience of time, and a cracked dial is, first of all, a violation of integrity. It is worth noting that these are only assumptions and, of course, you should not take everything to heart at once.

• It should be noted that wristwatches generally beat very easily, this may be due to a problem with a strap or a buckle, but this is also considered a bad sign. Although, unlike the first case, such a breakdown carries more negativity in the work area. If the clock breaks in this way, you may fail at work, or at this stage you will not wait for a promotion up the career ladder.

Each thing has its own term, and even though it would seem that the main thing in the watch is to change the battery, they also stop working over time.

Can the watch be thrown away?

There are quite a lot of opinions on this matter.

• Of course, before you wonder if such an accessory can be thrown away, you need to make sure that it cannot be repaired in any way. Give the watch to the master, and only if his verdict is not comforting, start thinking.
• Previously, there was a belief that a watchmaker, making a watch, put a piece of his soul into it, which is why it was forbidden to just throw this product away. Throwing away the watch, you doom the person who made it to illness and suffering.
• If the watch is in good working order, but you do not want to wear it anymore, also do not rush to say goodbye to it. Just put them in a secluded place without stopping the arrows.
• With a broken watch, our ancestors recommended to do the following: they need to be put in a dark box, preferably wrapped in a shred purple... It is believed that this color absorbs negative energy well and can neutralize it.

Owners of old, albeit broken, watches should also think carefully before throwing them away.

What to do with old, broken and antique watches?

• Happy owners of antique watches, as well as owners of ordinary wristwatches, must first of all make sure that they are not working properly and only after that make a decision about whether to throw them away or leave them. If, after all, there is an opportunity to repair the accessory, then this must be done without fail, there should not be a faulty clock in the house.
• And even if the watchmaker has confirmed the malfunction of an antique watch, do not rush to send it to the trash. To protect yourself and your family from negative impact you need to pull the mechanism out of the watch and hide everything in the same dark box.

Today, once again, we had the opportunity to make sure that signs and beliefs occupy a rather important place in our life. Every day we are faced with many things that we are trying to explain not only from a scientific point of view, but also from the point of view of mysticism. Talking about ancient signs and traditions, I would like to recall the famous saying: "How many people - so many opinions." Each person has the right to independently make decisions regarding the veracity of certain superstitions, but we cannot deny that they have a place to be.

It is up to you to use other people's things or not, to select your finds or not: if the opinion that every thing has the energy of its owner and is not always positive does not scare you, then recharge yourself with a positive, tune yourself to a wave of good luck and with pleasure use the thing.

The fashion for wristwatches was introduced at the beginning of the 20th century by the military, who found it inconvenient to check the time with a pocket watch. Over the past hundred years since that time, wristwatches have come into everyday use. Moreover, they began to more often perform not a direct function of a time indicator, but rather stylish decoration... That is why the choice of watches is important depending on the event for which the outfit is chosen and the person's own style.

Universal watches for everyday wear can look quite simple: for both women and men, they can have a small square or round light dial, a leather or metal strap without additional decorations, neutral palette... Such a watch can be used in the formation of an office wardrobe. They will also be relevant on dates, walks, meetings with friends, etc.

Representative watches are usually used at important business meetings or at gala receptions (if, of course, there is a need for them). When choosing a watch of this class, you should remember that it should be combined with a suit for men and an outfit for women. Etiquette assumes that the strap of a representative watch should be the same color as the trouser belt, shoes, wallet. For women, it should be combined with a bag, scarf, gloves. It is desirable that the combination is harmonious both in texture and in color. But it is more important that the watch matches the style and shape of the whole image. Agree that a large watch with a thick leather strap will look awkward with a summer light dress, even if the color of the strap matches the color of open sandals.

The watch strap must match with the accessories

Sports watches, as a rule, have a large number of functions (pedometer, navigator, heart rate meter) and, accordingly, large size than usual. There are specific watches for pilots, divers, runners, etc. They can be worn not only with a tracksuit, but the rules must be followed very carefully color combination with clothes and shoes.

According to the etiquette, women's watches made of precious metals can be combined with jewelry made of the same metal or metal of a similar color. For example, a platinum watch can be worn with silver jewelry or white gold jewelry.

The watch should sit on the wrist, not hang and, on the contrary, do not squeeze the wrist too tightly. The size of the dial depends on the wearer's hand: for a narrow slender hand, a graceful watch with a round dial is ideal, and a square or rectangular watch will make a wide, bone hand less massive.

Price good hours according to etiquette should be at least two months salaries person. Fortunately, with the advent of a large number low-cost and high-quality brands, this rule is outdated. However, the watch still remains an indicator of the class of a person, so you should not buy cheap fakes for expensive models- it is better to buy an inexpensive but branded item.

The electronic watch with a plastic bracelet is intended exclusively for youth environments or for wearing in the gym. And they are categorically not suitable for business meetings.

By the way, keep in mind that, according to the rules of good manners, it is considered impolite to look at the clock during a dialogue more than once every 15 minutes: this shows disrespect for the interlocutors.

Which hand to wear the watch on: the opinion of esotericists

Esotericists believe that the perception of life depends on which hand is more comfortable for you to wear the watch. The left side is associated with the past, and the right - with what will be.

It is believed that when a person constantly looks at left hand, then he bears the burden of the past. All the time he is experiencing events that have already happened and it is no longer possible to change them. He regrets his imperfect deeds and missed opportunities.

If a person often looks at his right hand, then he lives with hopes for the future and is not burdened by the past. This helps him become more punctual, responsible and active.

If you are uncomfortable, apathetic and constantly remembering the past, then try wearing the watch on your right hand, and your life will change for the better.

In China, it is believed that very important energy points are located on the wrist of the left hand, which are directly related to a person's well-being.

If you wear the watch on your left hand and constantly irritate the Cun point, it can interfere with the proper functioning of the heart.

The watch on the right hand indicates that its owner is a creative person. Many poets, musicians and artists wore watches on their right hand. People who wear a watch on their right hand are also punctual and not afraid to take responsibility.
