This is a question for those of you who own a variety of watches. Do you intend to wear your apple watch every day? Or will you continue to wear traditional watches?

If you intend to wear your apple watch every day, what will you do with all of your other watches?

If you intend to mix it up, do you think you will ever feel like you are "missing out" by not wearing the apple watch? (On things like the activity tracking, etc)

I would want to if I got one, but I love my Rolex, so I'm not getting one.

So you're not getting one because you are afraid you will like it too much, or because you won't be able to show off your Rolex as much?

I'm not getting one because I can't bear to leave an expensive watch sitting in a drawer. The last time I did that, I got burgled and lost multiple watches.

I don't wear my Rolex to show it off. I wear it because it's the most comfortable watch I've ever owned, and because as a watch fan, I appreciate its history, heritage, and timeless style.

I intend to wear mine every day - I only have one other watch, and it will replace it.

Any excuse to throw that into an unrelated topic huh?

I own a variety of watches, per the OP. I'm sorry if that relates to this topic in a way you don't approve of. If anything is unrelated, I'd say it's your reply.

This is a deep subject. I have several watches including a cartier tank and my favorite a tag heuer titanium dive watch. My plan was to use the apple sport for fitness and rotate all the rest o them but the truth is i'm hooked on the apple sport! I've had it since launch and managed to not wear it for just one day. I love it!

Sorry, didn't mean to disrupt the flow of the 9,000 delivery tracking threads. Carry on.

Why are you bothered? There must be a million other products that you don't intend buying either. Do you visit their forums too just to tell them you aren't buying? The thread title specifically excluded you. Not everything is about you.

You, Sir, do not own an Apple Watch :D But I please to read hypothetical responds nevertheless.

As for OP, I already do (except when I sleep/shower/swim).

I own a few watches, none as expensive as a rolex but they have their own value to me and are beautiful. My AW will likely be my daily driver, the watch my wife gave to me will be worn when I'm out with her on occasion and my dress watch will be worn for more formal settings.

TBH the AW has renewed my love for watches and intend to buy many more, variety is the spice of life as they say.

Yes of course! The health tracking is very important to me! I also have the Milanese Loop on order for nights out and I'm also contemplating the Stone leather loop as it's different in style and colour and I think it would be more rare in the wild.

I love my many Swiss Made watches as well BUT will never wear them again as I plan to wear my Apple Watch every day. Keeping just one of my Swiss Made watches.

Yes, quality is much higher than the Apple Watch but I don't care anymore, functionality is more important to me :apple::)

Yes, I hate to take it off at night:D

Never in a million years would I have believed I would wear anything on my wrist, hated watches or any jewelry.

Seems Apple can get me to do just about anything:confused:

For $599 hell yes I'm wearing it every day. The only time I won't is when I'm going to the beach or doing something that may damage it in some way. Otherwise I'll have it on.

No one asked you about your Rolex. If we wanted your snobby opinion the thread would have been about a Rolex but no, this is asking about the Apple Watch.

A rolex?.. One of those spinning card files?.. What does that have to do with wearing an Apple Watch?

When mine eventually arrives I will wear it every day. I haven't worn watches for a while which is largely due to school, and also I was damaging them due to my lack of coordination thanks to Autism... But now I have got much better coordination I am keen to wear it everyday.

As the next generation gets used to smart watches, they will care less about mechanical/automatic watches that only tell time. Get ready for the value of a Rolex to drop. :-(
