That's the thing with renders, you can make anything look like anything, but in the real world you have to be able to build it too, reasonably cheaply and reliably, and have the thing stand up to daily useage and abuse.Some of the amateur renders of a band-style device were gorgeous.
this thread generated quite a bit of interesting and generally thoughtful responses, yet most of that was at the time before the launch. Now I guess the topic becomes: DO you wear an AW and a traditional wristwatch?while I dont want to fuel the "one watch to rule them all" debateI am in the position where I have a minor investment in a collection of quality mechanical watches, where my choice is more for design and elegance than necessarily function or complexity of function (I tend to have little need for a tachometer-slide rule these days!).
Watching with interest the emergence of the apple watch, one thing that strikes me is the extent to which it is as much targeted at the "quantified self" market as the watch market--ie the world of the fitbit, etc. I do wear and use a fitbit and indeed a separate heart rate monitor, so given where the apple watch is going, it seems highly logical that I would replace the fitbit.
However I am still less inclined to want to replace my Tags or Tissots, though.
So I find myself asking why not wear both? I wear a watch on my left hand and a fitbit band on my right now, so why not just replace the fitbit, and use it for all the non-watch functions it brings?
thoughts?
thanks

Wearing multiple watches looks good when a pretty girl does it.

No.
Never.
Never ever.
I'd beat my own self up if I ever saw me wearing one watch on each arm.
I'd literally rather be kicked in between my legs repeatedly for hours on end than do something so tacky.
Edit: perhaps "figuratively" would be more honest
No, once I went smartwatch, there was no going back to regular watches.

Buzz Aldrin wearing two watches, think it is kinda cool:

Totally agree. I have had an Apple Watch since Feb 2017, love the fonctionality and hate the battery life. I also love mechanical watches for their beauty. So I wear both. I do not use the Apple watch for time, except in the middle of the night, and with the wrist-turn-to-wake feature off, I get nearly 48 hours of use from my Apple Watch. I do get a lot of questions as to why, and when I explain people always get it. My Apple Watch is a messaging and notification device it is useful but not elegant. I don’t give a badger’s backside if someone thinks it is sad/d*#k like/dumb etc.. I do what I want and this suits me fineDo whatever makes you happy! If you want to wear 2-3 watches at once, ****ing do it! That's nobody's concern other than your own! Go for it! Wear two watches!
