can’t help think that the wording of the email suggests they are marketed as ‘fashion’ watches.
People say fashion watch like it's a bad thing, but the reality is, don't most of us wear watches as fashion pieces? Aside from a true tool watch or smart watch (which really is a modern tool watch), they're all "fashion" watches to me. Even classic tool watches, like the Submariner, Navitimer and Speedmaster, are worn as fashion pieces by most. LOL
well by definition fashion is something passing and quickly changing. I agree that fashion watch is not necessarily a bad thing but there’s a difference between a watch that is designed to be fashion and a watch that happens to become a fashion or trend.
Speedy (ceramics) are fashion watches to me. I call them ‘posh swatches’ lol. So I get your point. But I doubt Omega conceived them as such. Neither Panerai, Rolex or Brietling for that matter but all have or are have been very ‘on trend’. Tudor seems to be getting there too more recently. The new ‘hot’ trend.
my comment above was more about the marketing than the watch itself. At least the (UK) email I received mentioned something about ‘new capsule collection’ which I gather is a term issued in women’s fashion.
what I interpret as (marketed or designed) for fashion are watches that like MK, Gucci, Boss that are purposely designed to be fashion accessories. that was the ‘fashion’ that came to mind when reading the email.

I understand your point and know what people mean when they say fashion watches. But to me, in today's reality, just about everyone who's into watches wears them for their own sense of style, and the watch makers market to that style. That's why I say they're all fashion watches to me.
But fundamentally you’re right they are jewellery and a status or style statement these days. And in rare cases an investment.
You seem to forget about the warmth they bring to our hearts and that special feeling we get from touching watches 😝 has nothing to do with fashion or style
i guess since nobody really needs a watch these days that’s increasingly true. The whole industry is a huge scam of creating demand and we all pretend that there’s some wonderful heritage or technical marvel. But fundamentally you’re right they are jewellery and a status or style statement these days. And in rare cases an investment.
