Can't do it. I fully admit that I am addicted to my phone...and that bothers me to no end. I tried a smart watch and quickly realized that it was just another crutch to bridge the gap where my phone does not have to be in my hand. It was also very "cold" in the sense that when I look at my other watches, I remember why I got them, where I have been with them, etc. Looking at a smart watch, I just see that I have three text messages, a missed phone call, and that I need to charge another device again.

Love my Rollie but this is a whole new level.

When is Rolex's answer to the smartwatch game ???
Just a clever company. You will find you are more and not less tied to your phone with the iwatch. Very basic things can Be done, but longer things such as emails or larger texts , make you grab the phone and yet another gagit to charge. I went away this weekend and just wore my Daytona. Phone stayed off. Now that’s freedom

I just bought a Garmin 5x Plus last week. I’ve been wearing it for a few days now and honestly, this thing is incredible. It has some basic smart watch features (alarms, notifications, etc..), but it is geared towards health tracking and fitness stuff.

I think I may have screwed myself with this watch... I may not be able to go back to a traditional watch lol.

I was a “never ever” Apple Watch guy until 12/31/18. Decided to give it a go and color me impressed. Love the motivation of “closing the rings” and the “breathe” app, which helps me take a break during the day to just breathe and let go the stress.

I’m also a Type 1 diabetic and am using a DIY artificial pancreas system called Loop and the AW allows me to turn my wrist and see my blood sugar reading right there without having to pull out my phone and open an app.

Still love my mechanical watches it right now they are sitting in the box unworn.

Plus, who doesn’t love Mickey!

^^ still going strong with mine. I love it.

Workouts are amazing with it. No phone just my watch, health vitals etc. I actually find I am using my phone/technology less because I won't check my watch unless I get a text or email.


I can't believe since I was one of the biggest hatters on the apple watch

I prefer the fitness bands. Track sleep (I watch doesn't have this) and exercise plus lasts 2 weeks per charge.

Goes on my right wrist so a proper watch is on my left ;)
