Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on wearing a watch?
Answer:
In the beginning, when they first appeared, they were disliked. They said that wearing them is imitating women and wearing bracelets. But when they became widespread among people and people needed them, they became integrated and people forgot about that. Allah knows best. Whoever wants to be cautious and leave them off is better off doing so. And whoever wants to use them, these are permissible matters. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
