Apple watch or Rolex...

Hi. I am female and received a beautiful, diamond dial, black mother of pearl, bi metal, jubilee style bracelet rolex just before last Christmas. I then received a gorgeous stainless steel Apple watch at Christmas.

I am torn between wearing my practical Apple watch (although i have customised my watch with a blingy bezel!) or my amazing Rolex...which would you wear more of or for different occasions?
I will add photos later!

Exactly.

The Apple Watch is more an electronic device than an actual watch so as such you could wear it on your right arm. The Rolex on the left, where a real watch goes.

Why can't you wear a Rolex in the gym or jogging? I used to do it all the time back before I got lazy about going to the gym! Just take it in the shower with you after your workout to wash off the sweat, and you're all set!

Mrs Yoda wears her Apple at the office and at the gym (zumba), for that very reason--practicality. Heart rate, alerts, and all manner of other things.

She wears her dial & hands watches most other times.

I use both Apple Watch for work/exercise and the Rolex all other times. If I didn't work/exercise I'd wear the Rolex 100% of the time :)

I’d give the Apple Watch away to someone who’d appreciate it.

I did exactly that with mine. I wanted to like it. Seemed like a great idea. But the reality of it is that the Apple Watch was just too darn intrusive for me. I'm a big fan of Apple products and I gave up my BlackBerry for an iPhone. But in the end I'm just an analog guy in a digital world.

My phone bugs me enough. I don't need my watch mirroring the phone and bugging me even more. Plus charging it every day was a pain in the ass.

My gosh...all very valid points! i guess you are right because when i think about it, i switched off most of the mirroring after a few days, except messages from certain people, as it was incredibly distracting when out for my long distance runs.
However, I love that i could "bling it up" despite its huge size (40mm) and its a great looking tech watch!

Apple Watch is stylish and can be dressed up and down but also is a health utility so alternating between a Rolex and an Apple Watch won’t clash at all.
One perfect time for the Apple Watch to be on the wrist instead of the Rolex is when you go to be.
Enjoy both.

I attach my Apple watch to my dog so she can close my exercise rings. I wear my Rolex to work so I know what I am working for.

Wear what you like most. My wife loves her Apple watch even though she has some really nice watches that now collect dust. She too blinged out her bracelet.

Please ignore logix1229 he has no class.

I wear my Apple Watch cellular when I don’t want to carry my iPhone.

Your Rolex however is a very special piece.

Wear it on special occasions.

Gave my GF a smartwatch last xmas and it never leaves her wrist. She works in a lab and there are rooms where no cell phones are allowed so the watch is a part of her work day. That being said she has hinted that a Rolex would be the after work watch if one was to come her way... So the smart watch is the real tool watch and the Rolex a... Well it's really nice. If it happens. Enjoy yours.
