This week’s dispatch
All eyes on England
Go, Ben Shelton! OK, now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, if you’re like me and have been watching Wimbledon 2025 — the oldest tennis tournament and one of the four Grand Slam tournaments annually — you might’ve been looking at the court.
Our Business Insider lifestyle senior reporter, Samantha Grindell Pettyjohn, however, turned her eyes to the stands in search of status symbols worn by celebrities.
As it turns out, luxury timepieces were in vogue at Wimbledon this year, and there was no shortage of enviable wrist bling.
David Beckham, a brand ambassador for Tudor, wore a custom watch from the company that he was gifted on his 50th birthday, Pettyjohn reports.
Meanwhile, Nick Jonas, who attended the matches with his wife, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, wore a vintage version of Rolex’s Day-Date watch, which can retail for more than $100,000, according to the company’s website.
If you’re looking to add a smart investment to your splurge list, check out Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne’s red-faced accessory: an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra, which retails for $7,000.
Or maybe you’d be into Andrew Garfield’s Omega De Ville Trésor that retails at a slightly higher price point, $7,400.
No matter what watch you choose, you’d be serving style.
Pelvic floor in panic mode
Many women have to work to strengthen their pelvic floor after having a baby. An increasing number of men are finding out they have the opposite problem: a pelvic floor that is too tight and overengaged.
Even though women are more likely to develop a disorder, Dr. Adam Gvili said not enough people are talking about the male pelvic floor. Constipation and the frequent urge to pee are among the most common symptoms.
How to tell if you have a problem.
Chubby cup love
The familiar pastime of drinking out of a mason jar is getting an upgrade. Weck jars are all the rage among coffee and matcha lovers for their distinct shape and aesthetic.
Fans say Weck jars are thicker and sweat-free, with wider brims that accommodate heavily iced drinks. They were originally designed for food preservation, not drinkware — but hey, with a volume of 19.6 ounces, they get the job done.
Shoppers are buying in bulk.
Quiet luxury at home
A hefty budget isn’t always required to create a home that feels luxurious. Just ask Bri Macdonald, an interior designer who works with high-profile clients. There are a few items her wealthy clients tend to avoid, though.
Cheap-looking faux plants, for example, can dampen a polished look. Macdonald suggests opting for low-maintenance plants, like an olive tree, or going the high-quality, faux plant route — just be sure to dust them regularly!
Avoid these seven items.

The millennial dad paradox
Working dads of kids under 18 are in a predicament that women have faced for decades: balancing full commitment to parenting with an equal commitment to their careers.
Now, they’re caught between their generation’s intent on co-parenting and a society still built around the male breadwinner.
Can they have it all?
