Settle an argument between me and my wife..Is a watch considered jewelry?

I won't say who thinks what to try and keep thing impartial. We were watching Celebrity Family Fued and there was a category along the lines of "Things a wealthy woman would buy her boytoy", something like that. The two of us were saying answers aloud and one of said a watch and then the other of us said jewelry. One of us said "A watch is jewel" and thus the arguement started. Things got really funny when one of the answers on the show was "watch/jewelry". We couldn't agree if that meant they were two separate answers or not.

What do you think?

    Jewelry's function is to be pretty and ornate. A watches function tells time, sometimes date and must also be attractive to the wearer. Often it is a status symbol much like a giant diamond. Definitely jewelry.

    Is A Watch Jewelry

  • 5 years ago

    Depending on the price and brand makes it either a watch or jewelry. I remember when I was younger I got a watch at an arcade. That's a watch. Big name brands like Rolex and Omega and the ones even a step above them are jewelry. And there are brands more expensive that many people have never heard of.

    A watch is considered male jewelry.

    Sorta like a bracelet on a woman.

    Of course, some watches are really functional and not that "jeweled," so probably really test the definition of jewelry.

    My mother worked in a jewelry store for 20 years. She always referred to watches as jewelry.

    It's jewelry but it has more use to it then just looking pretty like most. It's more of an accessory in my opinion.
