I feel that but after you wear them a couple times you don’t really care, you still take care of them but it’s not a big deal. I actually have those eastside golf 1 lows and have turned them into my work beater pretty much everyday use at work for almost a year and they are still holding up fine, beat up sure but still look good and no separation/etc. however the first week or so breaking them in was painful they have some like hard plastic material or something behind the back heel tab, after that no complaints. Long story short just wear your kicks haha
Yeah the watch would just be nice at work cause I’m constantly listening to music or podcasts and it’s annoying always having to take out my phone to change songs or skip forward in podcasts/change episodes lol but again I would enjoy the max’s more so eh lol
