What is the point to even wearing a watch in the 100m, 200m, etc.?! Or large bracelets for that matter.

Why some middle distance runners wear gold chains?
1. Style
2. Paychecks
3. The Rexing effect

Rudisha races with a Garmin. Wonder if he'll wear it tonight.
If Mille approached you with a half-million dollar watch and asked you to wear it, you would too. Beeyotch.

Blake will probably get fined for the wearing the watch.

I want to get a gold chain. It would be like if you ran a huge PR or won a championship whilst wearing it, then every time you see it or wear it, you will remember the race.
*Also it is a way of showing off wealth and success. Many Kenyan runners have gold chains to show that they are successful and have earned a bit of money. Look at how swagged out Kaki is.
Kaki who is not Kenyan?
Why do sprinters wear HUGE watches?
Because they are getting paid a lot of money to do so. I strongly suspect that Mille will pay any fines Blake accrues, as they are paying him to wear the watch in the first place.
As for being stupid and poor, well, he's making a lot of money off of this. That sounds smart and rich to me.
