A few other topics have been added to the thread...
Umpire wearing a watch. My training has been "don't", so I don't (barring brain cramps). Besides looks, a colleague had 2 watches destroyed in the same day by collisions with softballs (they were under his jacket sleeve).
But, I don't use a watch for anything anyway, except for knowing when game time is approaching. For timed games, I use a countdown timer I keep in my pocket. I just hate doing hours-minutes math!
Umpire wearing jewelry. In games where jewelry is forbidden for players (HS, ASA JO ... yeah, I know in the latter it is umpire judgment rather than forbidden, etc.) I just don't think it looks good. I don't mean fashion; I mean a "do as I say, not as I do" appearance. Otherwise, even though I personally don't like body-piercing jewelry, I don't worry about someone else's fashion sense.
