Is wearing a men's wristwatch by a woman considered an imitation of men?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible for a woman to wear anything specific to men, such as a garment, a watch, or sandals, even if she does not intend to imitate them, because the imitation occurs regardless of intention. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, cursed women who imitate men.
