I'm with the group who have not worn a watch in the last few years since I retired. I have a cheapy cell phone in my purse, but I rarely look at it. There is usually a clock around somewhere.
I have noticed a lot of women starting to wear those larger watches (the "boyfriend" style), and yes, I have noticed a lot of white watches.
Personally, if I were to wear a watch, it would have to be a small feminine style, because I have a tiny wrist.
I wear a watch purely for fashion these days because I still like wearing one and feel naked (especially in dress clothes) without it, but my phone is enough for me these days for pure time.
A watch is really nice for at home. When I'm at home, I don't carry my cell phone around with me (I leave it in a basket by the door) and I have clocks, but not in every room.
So ... if they went out of fashion and I wore one does that make me a trend setter or a douchey hipster ?
Well with the "youngsters" no one really wears a watch anymore. I only know like 2 people with watches under 40. Ok maybe a couple more, but really not many. Most of my friends don't wear them.
I stopped for a few years, now I am back, but at the moment I need to get my go to one repaired.
I am 29 and I'd say about a little over 50% of my guy friends wear watches casually and probably 75% of them wear watches to work.
As far as business dress, even with business casual I wear nice dress slacks, nice shoes, a nice dress shirt that fits me well etc. It's business casual because people don't wear suits not because people don't dress nicely at all.

I haven't worked in an actual business casual place in about 14 years. The men are dressed up when they stick on a polo and khakis. Regular day is like khakis and a t-shirt + hoodie. Some people dress up a tiny bit more. Khakis and a button down, but a dressier person would look at the men in my office and think it was weekend mode. 90% are in t-shirts and jeans daily including the CEO.
My current company is like full on startup stereotype. But when I had an older CEO, he didn't dress any better. His regular outfit was company t-shirt, khakis and keen sandals. Dress up day swapped that t-shirt for a polo. I would have fallen out of my chair if he came in with dress pants on.
Women are more varied in dress. We have a causal dress code, and my last 3 jobs have followed suit unless we had important meetings. Then business casual ruled. But CA business casual isn't as dressed up as your example. It is khakis, nice shirt and loafers. Actual dress shoes not required. Polo counts as a nice shirt.
Suit = business formal
dress pants + nice shirt = business professional
khakis + nice shirt = business casual
Your outfit is like meeting with east coast people or job interview.
