Software Engineer. Series Space Black Stainless Steel in 42mm. I use a sport band 90% of the time, but I've got a leather loop for more formal occasions and a nike+ sport band for the gym. It's used primary for unlocking my MacBook, showing me notification on my wrist (and thus, oddly enough, seriously improving my iPhone's battery life), fitness tracking, and Apple Pay. Never used a third party app, probably never will.
The puppy in your avatar is cute. And there is nothing wrong with being a golf shop manager. It is honest work.38mm series 2 in stainless steel - golf shop manager
@DoubleFlyaway Not sure if your father is still alive, but if he is please tell him a “fly boy” said “Thank you for your service!!” Well staying another 10 does sound tempting but I am ready to retire and maybe looking at finding a special someone to help me not spend my retirement check with so to speak
. I have managed to stay single my entire time in the military and I am not getting any younger. I only have a few requirements though, she also be an iPhone user. By the way @DoubleFlyaway you don’t look a day over 26 in your profile pic.

Thank you for your support!!
I get my anti aging genes from both my parents actually. I was talking to some high school students last week about the Air Force and they couldn’t believe my age when I told them.
I'm a rodeo clown,* so I thought it important to get the Stainless Steel version (Series 3, non-LTE) to avoid scratches.

*(OK, not really. I'm just a corporate lawyer and when I upgraded to a Series 3 from my Series 0 SS, I went with the space grey aluminum version.)

Series 3 LTE. I'm a shiftless good-for-nothing beach bum. Being an idler was my life's ambition.
Adding my two cents as the spouse...
Hubbs retires in 3 years. He’ll be 40 with 23 years in the military. He wants to retire while he’s considered a relatively marketable age for the civilian job market. I’m a year-and-a-half older than Hubbs, so I’ll be pushing 42. If we want to have a two-legger, it’s then or never. Any older and we’ll be 103 by the time the kid graduates college. Plus, with my job, there’s no way I could take care of a young child, while he’s deployed.

I use my watch for notifications, keeping track of the unpredictable English weather, Apple Pay, checking in via Swarm, tracking my steps and flights of stairs walked up and also finding out the time now and again
Strava is my most used app on the watch I cycle to and from London everyday, 14.5 miles each way...I'm also a sucker for the challenges in Activity!
My wife has been having a spell of bad health lately so I've been spending a lot of time in hospitals. I can't help noticing how many medical personnel wear Apple Watches.
AW 3 42mm non GPS aluminum. My job title is Lead Service Technician. I work on various electrical equipment usually government and industrial contracts. While not glamorous I do enjoy it.
I work heavily with my hands and while I feel its to a higher degree I would consider myself "blue collar" so I keep a snap on case on my AW all day and it gets beat up...A LOT. However the watch itself has been holding up perfectly. I went with the aluminum because I thought it would be destroyed by now, but its looks brand new!

Series 0 SS for me. Have about 30 bands in total and change it up every day because I’m slightly crazy. Pensions Actuary by day
