I'm bored with my Apple watch

[clauzzz203]

If you are bored, maybe you should try some role playing or mix it up a little. Maybe try using it in strange places or taking it for a long walk on the beach. Or maybe dress it up as a Movado. Put a blond band on it and it’s like a whole new watch. If you feel like Siri is judging you, maybe it is time to move on. It won’t work long term.

I'm mostly wearing this with the Apple Watch on my other wrist. Can't quite bring myself to sell the AW as I do use it for exercise.

That is a sharp Rado.

Really not a fan of two watches, but your "watch face" with analogue and topping up with digital stuff i pretty nice (if it were on my Apple Watch )

 

[Ffosse]

Yes, it would make a great Apple Watch face.

I got the Rado second-hand - it's battery had run out and I was really surprised when I changed it to discover it had a digital display as well as analogue. It has a stopwatch, alarm, timer, dual time, calendar etc. I had thought it was purely analogue. The digital display can also be hidden completely.

I got another watch - I haven't worn my AW in months except once or twice on the other wrist.

This will be my last watch as I have cancer again (incurable yet treatable so I may have a few years), and I wanted something decent - couldn't decide between a Speedmaster or a Monaco but eventually went for the latter.

You always post some of the most unique looking watches on here, definitely my style. (I like the Rado you posted months back.) That Monaco looks stellar and I really like the square design.

 

[Ffosse]

Yes, this one's a keeper - very chunky compared with the Rado, though.

I'm bequeathing them to the Teenage Cancer Trust here in the UK so they can perhaps auction them and make some money. Cancer is grim but who'd want it as a teenager?

That's very generous of you. I hope your treatment goes well and you're around quite a while to enjoy your watch.

That's one iconic and amazing watch - All the best of luck with your treatment, that damn disease should have been extincted long ago

You win.

One thing I want to say about the Apple Watch, as much as I like smart watches and we are now in a digital era of what they can do a lot in terms of providing us with convenience and fitness, it also has piqued my interest with mechanical watches more so than ever. I find that I like my Apple Watch, but I’m also not more interested in other watches additionally, similarly to what was photoed by Ffosse.

I have been a watch guy years before getting my Apple Watch, but must admit that ever since I got the Apple Watch, by vintage and other mechanicals have been sitting in my drawer.. They aren't going anywhere, but I'm simply too addicted to the notification on my wrist, weather, activity and more...

And to be honest even though I want to get some sort of updated form factor this fall, the Apple Watch is already iconic as well - very easily recognizable from a distance because of the design has been true to the roots since day one.

WatchOS 5 with a lot new watch faces would help out A LOT... Not just 2-3 weird watch faces and another Pixar watch face please.

Before Apple showed off the Apple Watch I was looking for a new timepiece. I'd worn wristwatches since first grade, but my latest had been stolen a few years prior - a nice Polar exercise watch with an orange rubber casing and armband which I forgot to put in my locker at the gym - and some damned blaggard went and took it.

I typically preferred Casio G-Shocks at the time, since they tend to have some heft to them (the first one I owned was the original, with the stainless steel casing which I originally got sometime in the early/first half of the 1980s IIRC), but at the time none of the models available piqued my interest. And the rubber band of my original G-Shock had rotted (apparently it wasn't made out of silicone but some other material susceptible to the ravages of time), plus the mineral glass crystal had previously cracked during a summer vacation on Crete sometime around 1991 as well. Alas! Such is life.

Then adding to my first world frustrations, Apple would most likely go the route of automatically setting time/date (they did), and having to adjust for drift every so often manually plus daylight savings time and so on did not enthuse me either; smartphones and modern computer OSes had spoiled me from that perspective. So I took a peek at a Seiko Kinetic GPS watch that kept correct time automatically. It was a beautiful timepiece; nice design and materials, incredible engineering, recharged itself from your hand movements and so on, but DAMN, it was super expensive for my income level. Probably cost US$2000 and possibly even more.

So I had to knock that idea out of my head.

Then Apple Watch finally launched, and I realized no "dumbwatch" could ever do it for me again. Plus, Apple craftmanship really is on a wholly different level compared to any other watch I've ever owned - the precision and build quality is quite exceptional. Most watchbands especially look very crummy compared to Apple's offerings. The only thing that really irks me is that the watch is glued shut rather than put together with screws; that's something I would like to see changed in a future version.

So, TL: DR. Sorry about that. Or not really I suppose. Story of my life.

Being as I have incurable cancer and can't go out much that's not terribly helpful.

I still use my AW every day, but yeah, it is kinda boring. I just don't see anything changing with it so that it will end up being a must have gadget.
