Scary! Dollar Store would def be the US equivalent. I used to live near one and on a rougher side of town. I aleays felt like a mark, not because of my wetch, but bc I drive an upscale bmw. I def “downgrade” my appearance to fit in when I feel like I’m going somewhere where I might be vulnerable. My most recent experience was going through a drive through in a rough part of town with my window down, wearing a 4-5k watch, and realizing I had my hand up on the windowframe holding it with my watch facing outward, and some really creepy people in a car behind me. In those instances I won’t drive directly to my house, but take a circuituous route home to see if I am being followed. In the States “jugging” has become a new thing at banks, where people hang out in the bank oarking lot by ATMs and follow people home, or even watch people leaving the bank in broad daylight, and follow them home and jump them for their cash. Just have to be more aware. Think about what you are wearing where you are going, and/or go in a group. Of course there are other things you can do to protect yourself if push comes to shove, mace, pocket knife, wear an Apple Watch with cellular, etc

Wristworthy

It’s totally horrible that your personal choices are so affected by the risk of not being safe. I totally understand but feel so very sad for you that horrible people affect your choice of what to wear. I’m so pleased your safe and have not become a victim. I hope that this doesn’t get worse to the point of not being able to wear any of your watches in public. Stay safe. 🤗
