Why you can't wear other people's wristwatches: folk signs
According to an ancient belief, any object that has been in contact with a person for a long time can absorb their energy, both positive and negative. When a thing passes to a new person who uses it, it begins to transfer the accumulated energy to the new owner, potentially affecting his or her life. SSPDaily told that this superstition also applies to wristwatches.
Why you shouldn't wear someone else's watch
Watches not only have their magical properties but can also store the energy of their previous owners. Therefore, according to ancient signs, it is not recommended to wear an accessory found on the street or bought in the market. The energy of the previous owner, along with all the troubles and problems associated with it, can intertwine with the life of the new owner if this rule is ignored.
However, the question of wearing a relative's accessory arises. With things that belonged to our family, the situation is somewhat different. An inherited watch or a watch passed down from generation to generation can be worn without any negative consequences.
But even in this case, there are exceptions. If the watch evokes unpleasant emotions, inspires disturbing memories, or creates negative impressions, it is advisable to refuse such an item.
