I only wear my apple watch for workouts - biking/hiking, etc.
I still prefer a dive watch for day to day stuff. |

I wish Apple would make a wearable. I have an Ultra which is 100x more than I need and also wear it for workouts, hikes, and sleep. No way will I ever dual wield, so please make a wearable. The end.

I always considered myself a watch guy, but the apple watch makes my job so much more efficient all the others sadly stay in the watch drawer

Quote HistoryQuoted: I always considered myself a watch guy, but the apple watch makes my job so much more efficient all the others sadly stay in the watch drawer That’s where I think this is headed. Being able to swipe and choose between a GMT, world timer, chronograph, and countless others, all with customized complications set for specific tasks is next level. I’ve got face set up for running with time, distance, heart rate, and ecg, one for work with date, appointment reminders, email, one for shooting with wind, elevation, compass, and level, one for night time with dark colors, sleep, sunrise time and heart rate, one for travel, hiking, astronomy, driving. The options are nearly limitless. |

G Shock almost every day. Citizen for dress. Apple Watch rarely.

I wear an Apple Watch at work (Drilling Industry). When I’m at home on days off, I wear either my GMT Master on jubilee or white dial Seamaster on rubber depending on occasion or outfit. I hate the damn thing dinging when I’m not at work and don’t care what’s going on.

Blasphemy, I refuse to wear such an abomination and I live in the Apple Ecosystem. iPhone, several iPads, three MacBook Pros, Apple TV.

I’m all in on the apple products. I’ve had an Apple Watch for almost 5 years. I got it for workouts and runs only. First couple weeks I couldn’t take it off. After that it got old to me. I couldn’t stand all the notifications. I know all that can be turned off. But I want the thing on my wrist to tell me two things and two things only, the time and the date. Ever since, the Apple Watch does workouts and runs with me and sits on the charger the rest of the day. Traditional mechanical the rest of the time.

I had a galaxy watch for a month and found it useless.
Went back to a rolex sub |

I wear a galaxy watch every day.
Notifications on my wrist vs digging my phone out is very helpful to me. Plus I have the vibration cranked so I don't miss stuff anymore. |

Nope.
I got one as a Christmas gift from my mother. I tried to like it, but honestly it was a pain in the ass. I hate having to flick my wrist to get it to turn on to see the time, whereas I can discretely glance at my regular watch without any gross movements. The new ones may be always-on, so that’d solve the main problem. Still, I’d rather wear my $20 Shanghai Special mechanical than my G-Shock. I can’t go back to quartz… |

I tried an Apple watch for a week and it sucked all the power from my iPhone some way. Had to return it and went back to my GMT Master.

my wife wears the fitbit version with almost all the notifications turned off. She had a cardiac episode earlier this year so the ECG and Pulse ox/monitoring is worth the peace of mind to me (and her).
I was wearing her old fitbit on my off wrist, but it's losing power and being annoying. I figured out how much I have to do to hit my 10k steps each day and now just do that. |

I have two Submariners I have not worn in at least 4-5 years after getting my first Apple Watch. I guess I should sell them, but between the two, I have over 60 years of ownership, so that makes it hard to part. Stainless since 1978, 18k since 2005.

No. But an Apple watch saved a friend's life.
It detected an abnormal heart beat and he got it checked out. Required surgery to correct. They have their place. |

I sold my late 60s 5512 and early 70s 1675 a couple of years ago now; had owned them since '91 when my jeweler retired. Really, I don't miss them. They were in pristine condition with all of the paperwork and the box, also in pristine condition. I'd wear them occasionally, but lived in semi fear of damaging them. Now they're making someone else happy and I wear a Tudor GMT daily.....and am much happier. Don't be afraid to sell. |

Hell no.
I wear a real watch daily. G-shock occasionally when doing manual labor. I have a sweet I-phone, why would I ever wear an I watch? |

No. I am trying to make my life more analog wherever possible. I even tried switching back to a O.G. flip phone last year, but that would mean more talking and less texting so I made the concession to keep an iPhone.

I'm not an Apple guy but I am an avid and longtime user of personal electronic devices. Palm Pilot, Blackberry and now...Android!
For decades the Submariner was my EDW. It was a part of me. WearOS 1.0 came out and it was a joke. WearOS 2.0 came out and I got a smartwatch. There was this back and forth period as I learned to use the new smartwatch tool in useful, not gimmicky, ways. And then one day the Sub was gathering dust. WearOS 3.0 is out with faster smartwatches and now the Sub is really in trouble. I had to invest in a watch winder. It really made me sad and conflicted  but there's no denying that for some people the smartwatch is incredibly more useful and convenient.I've seen the thing where people are wearing two watches, one mechanical which is now just jewelry, and one smart. I can't bring myself to do that  Recently, for about the last 6 months, I've been making it a point to wear my mechanical watches (I have two) at least one day a week, and on more formal occasions, of course. |

I'm pretty invested in Apple and generally speaking a fan, but depending on what you use it for the Garmin series of watches beat Apple by a decent margin. And Apple still can't figure out how much market they're losing (me included) by not having a proper circular watch instead of rectangular.

Comparing a Garmin to an Apple Watch is a bit like comparing Jeep Wrangler and a Lexus LS. They both have four wheels and can get you from A to B, but beyond that they are radically different. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: By wearable I mean a device to track fitness, etc. like a FitBit. Some are smaller and look more like a digital bracelet than a watch. Amazon had the Halo view which worked ok, but the strap design was defective and maybe that's why it was discontinued. I won't wear two watches like Kevin O'Leary.

I have one. I was all about it at first.
Got tired of my wrist vibrating and missing my mechanicals. Hasn’t been charged in months, maybe a year. I should find it a new home. |
