Is it one of the only statement pieces a guy can were though? I know plenty of guys with bracelets, chains, rings, earrings and/or tattoos. You can express statements with your clothing too, if you want.

And than there are people who don't care about statement pieces and just want to wear whatever is most practical. And people who want to express themselves by wearing a smartwatch.

These are mostly considered to be low-status symbols. For men, in fact it is often recommended not to wear necklaces to a job interview, and hide any tattoos.

Maybe he already got a job? So lets leave mechanical watches to unemployment?

Makes little sense as being unemployed for medium-long term also doesn't look nice in a job interview.

The watch basically says: I had a good job that paid well.
