Cheap Wristwatch at Dental School Interview

[akaopua]

I have a cheap watch from a good friend; I've had it for several years and its my favorite watch. I'd really like to wear it to my interview but it is like a $20 watch. I'm not sure what to do about it.

Its just a classic 80s Cassio silver watch thats still in great condition. I'm not balling out, I have like a new $500 dollar suit and a nice pair of shoes but Im just not sure about how this watch is gonna look.

Opinions?

No one will care about your watch...

Your current watch looks good and I don’t see a problem. Who knows if your interviewer is a fan of Casio?

As long as it doesn’t make an excessive amount of noise, no one will probably notice it or care. Don’t stress out!

lmao don’t worry about the watch

- variables you can control <-- study effort for DAT, volunteering record, GPA up to a point
- variables you can't control <-- what your recommenders say in their letters; what the adcoms are looking for; state of residence
- variables that don't make a dang bit of difference <-- choice of wristwatch

Idk dude, you endorse Big Baller Brand in the avatar then go gallivanting around with a hand-me-down watch? Seems hypocritical

True. Maybe I shouldn't wear my Rose Gold autographed ZO2s to the interview after all

I wore no watch to all my interviews and I got in.

If you buy me this watch, I’ll write you a friggin’ awesome letter of recommendation. And to sweeten this deal, I’ll personally accompany you to all of your interviews to vouch for you face to face with the adcoms. Just saying.

no dude, everyone knows it's only acceptable to wear a watch to interviews if it costs more than $10,000. Try one of these.

Hahahahahaahah I think your watch is fine - no need to question it! Andd if it brings you good vibes and can go with your outfit, even more reason to rock it

Awesome retro watch. And it does look in great shape. Someone made fun of my watch at lunch a few weeks ago. Seems it was not big enough. I just shrugged it off. My watch tells accurate time, and it was my fathers.
