I think it will become more and more common that wrist computers will be worn by most people and that they will wear what they want on the other arm.

When that day comes and it is more common...i will most probably be wearing both watches :)

the Apple Watch is, as someone wrote, technology on your wrist. Mine has the independent phone feature which can be useful when I am away from my iphone. I use my Apple Watch when I want to be connected, when I am tracking exercise and, starting with the model 4, there are some safety and health features that may be useful. My "real watches" are worn when I don't need or don't want to be connected at all or don't need the Apple Watch to be connected. Some might argue that it looks odd to wear a diamond enhanced Rolex with an Apple Watch. Use your own judgment on whether to wear your Rolex at the same time you wear your Apple Watch. Because of my philosophy of how I use the apple watch, I cannot imagine a time I would wear both. I am on my second Apple Watch just as I just moved on to a new mode iPhone.

It really is an interesting topic. I got an Apple Watch for Christmas from my wife, who knows i really love mechanical watches. She wasn’t sure if I would like it, and I wasn’t either, but honestly I have. Some days i wear Apple, some days mechanical watches. A few days I’ve worn both. If I’m going to be tooling around outside or exercising, lean toward the Apple. Working, usually one of my mechanicals. I think there is room for both.

I agree 100%.

I wear my Apple Watch whenever I need activity tracking (running, working out, etc) and wear my Rolex at the office.

Apple = Daily beater
Rolex = Night out, special occasions.

Cool! Its great to hear that so many others on this thread are able to alternate happily. I am becoming more inclined to do the same!

Many Thanks for your reply!

I will add photos later!

I would not wear an Apple Watch ever. Number 1) test another device to charge 2) it’s disposable and will need to be replaced 3) the “data” such as fitness stuff is largely unnecessary-one does not need a watch to tell us how hard we pushed in the gym, 4) it’s largely redundant-do you still need the phone to send emails or text messages of any complexity, 5) it actually ties us and makes us more addicted to technology in general, and lastly The jury is still out on round the clock exposure that close to the body to the radiation and microwaves produced. People can Balk at the last point however absence of evidence (yet because there is no long term data) does not mean evidence of absence.

All to say stick with the Rolex

Hi. Coming from a scientific background myself...you have totally read my mind about that which i have been ignoring...you gave made such valid points.

Please don’t wear both watches. So so ridiculous... I see people do this and it looks pretty funny. Just wear the Rolex when not wearing the Apple Watch. The Apple Watch novelty will also wear off also.

I think that is the main point for me.
Another tracking device....which happens to tell the time.

I did exactly that with mine. I wanted to like it. Seemed like a great idea. But the reality of it is that the Apple Watch was just too darn intrusive for me. I'm a big fan of Apple products and I gave up my BlackBerry for an iPhone. But in the end I'm just an analog guy in a digital world.

My phone bugs me enough. I don't need my watch mirroring the phone and bugging me even more. Plus charging it every day was a pain in the ass.

My gosh...all very valid points! i guess you are right because when i think about it, i switched off most of the mirroring after a few days, except messages from certain people, as it was incredibly distracting when out for my long distance runs.
However, I love that i could "bling it up" despite its huge size (40mm) and its a great looking tech watch!

Agree 100%. Plus.... a Rolex isn't listening to what you say and treating you like a free source of data for revenue purposes. Apple is insidious, Rolex is (largely) benign.

They both have there place. It feels to me like commen sense when to wear each (don’t mean that in a condensending way). When I am out casually, Rolex. Around house & gym, Apple Watch. Work, 50/50 depending on attire.

Getting on a plane in a couple hours. Apple Watch 100% more comfortable, so its a no brainer.

I think an additional picture at 8:24 would be fitting

Apple Watch for working out and running

Rolex for work!

[woofwatch]

As a few previous posters mentioned, I'm a big fan of putting my phone away a majority of the time. I love wearing my DJ and holding to my ear to listen to the ticking. And it's beautiful! As a woman who's very into jewelry I consider my Rolex to be just as satisfying to look at as my diamond rings. Never got that feeling from a smartphone or smartwatch.

Lol, that’s what they are human tracking devices. I was speaking with a veteran recently and he was telling me that troop movements can be tracked if they are wearing “smart” watches. Very concerning.

Even casey neistat, kindda tech-savvy youtuber, chose Rolex over Apple watch lol

[Koolpep]

If the Apple Watch gives you functionality you can’t live without, then wear it.

In all other cases, I would wear the Rolex. My wife switches watches a bit, but never to a smart watch....

While I wear mine on,y for the gym and sleep tracking. During the day it’s “real watches”....

Both.

I wear a G-Shock when I'm training on the courts or working out.

Back in the day I used to wear my Submariner and GMT Pepsi everywhere for everything. Even during matches. But I stopped doing that with any of my newer models. They cost too much and are much heavier than the 80s and 90s models.

Enjoy both.
