It's very hard to not wear the Apple watch haha. However, occasionally I'd wear one of my mechanicals for a few days to run the mechanism, and I do enjoy the ticking and watching the sweeping second hand.

I'm a two watch at once guy. AW4 on the left, and usually a Seiko turtle on my right. I dig the information from the AW and I just like the Seiko, it's chunky, super easy to read, and I never need to charge it, just wear it.

I did something similar with a mechanical watch on the left and a Garmin vivosmart 4 on the right. Wearing two full watch on each wrist whether it was my AW or my Garmin Vivoactive 3 just seemed odd to me. Shame really as I like both mechanical and smart watches.

Love wearing my mechanical watch. I don't have an apple watch and won't be purchasing because I am happy with my mechanical watch. I wear my watch only on particular events.
 
I used to be a cheap Casio watch guy, never spent more than £20 on one as I was always bashing and scraping them with working on cars.
Since going back into education I’ve had a smart watch of some form and couldn’t imagine going back to a traditional watch from my S5.
Though if I’d been fortunate enough to ever own a nice mechanical watch, I imagine I’d still wear it for special occasions.
 
I don't wear my mechanical watches, or my Garmin, since I got an AW two years ago. But even before I got the AW, they mostly sat on the shelf (I wore my Garmin to run).
 
I'm too invested in the monthly challenges now to stop using the AW. Those clever bastards at Apple eh!

That said, I do wear my regular watch for more special occasions. Still want a Submariner No Date at some point! :)

I need to look at the challenges. That's probably what gets me off the couch 🤣
