I kind of know what you mean. But I've noticed a strange thing with the Apple Watch. Going back even 5 years ago it wasn't "will I wear a watch?" but rather what watch will I wear? A digital one with big buttons said I was a triathlete, an elegant one with a simple face said I valued simplicity etc. But then many of us just stopped wearing watches. So now when I see an Apple Watch on someone I'm having two reactions i) Oh, they're wearing an Apple Watch and ii) It's actually so important to them to have an Apple Watch that they've gone and put a new thing on their body that wasn't there before. So it _seems_ more pretentious to me than it would have a few years back. (sorry I don't mean to say you're pretentious because you have an Apple Watch just that I'm viewing it as much more of a deliberate two part thing)
BTW I know 5 years ago many people didn't wear watches then. I'm talking about the relative trend of significantly decreased watch wearing and buying coinciding with the rise of the smartphone.
