What is the ruling on wearing the watches prevalent nowadays, some parts of which are plated with gold, and do they take the ruling of wearing pure gold?

It is forbidden for men to wear gold and silk, but it is permissible for women. Therefore, there is no objection to women wearing gold watches. However, it is forbidden for men to wear them, even if the gold is merely plating, due to the extravagance, pride, and heartbreak it causes the poor.
