It appears that new fashion trends are appearing everywhere these days. Wearing a watch on the ankles rather than the wrist is one of the most unusual. While telling time was once thought to be a practical accessory, the watch is now more about making a fashion statement than having a practical use.

Because of technological advancements, the ability to tell time has changed significantly. There is no denying that most people use their phones, laptops, or other mobile devices to check the time and access most types of information. Originally, humans did not pay much attention to "time," but they did notice seasonal changes as well as when the day began and ended. They then started measuring time with sundials, hourglasses, and water clocks. Mechanical means with hour and minute hands were soon invented. However, the timepieces were bulky and immobile.

Men's and Women's Watches
Pocket watches were popular among men at the time. Women, on the other hand, wore watches attached to a brooch or a necklace. Women, however, wore wristwatches more than men by the turn of the twentieth century. However, it wasn't until the First World War that soldiers began wearing wristwatches while fighting. Rolexes were a popular choice because they could withstand rough use and extreme conditions without breaking down. In any case, wristwatches were required for soldiers in general to ensure that they arrived on time for military training and practises.

The Most Recent Fashion
Do you know that wearing wristwatches on the ankle isn't even considered the most fashionable way to wear a watch? Even though most people are unlikely to recall it, women have worn wristwatches on their ankles at various times throughout history. A 1910 postcard, for example, depicts a man kneeling next to a woman to check the time on her ankle watch. Flappers in the 1920s wore their watches on their ankles, possibly to defy old prudish standards for women's clothing.

Other Locations to Wear Watches
People have worn watches on their wrists, around their necks, on their fingers, and on their forearms over the years. It's no surprise that they've returned to wearing them on their ankles! Watches are no longer functional items; instead, they serve as jewellery or status symbols.

After ankle bracelets, ankle watches may be the next big thing in fashion. Ankle watches were originally designed to be thin and elegant. They can now be found with varying sized faces or dials.
