Apple Watch on one wrist, Rolex on the other

I’m curious to know what you guys think of that idea...I like to use my Apple Watch primarily for fitness reasons (track steps, calories, heart rate etc) but would also like to wear my Sub more often.

I wear a Fitbit on my right. When the health monitoring reaches next level I may well switch to an iWatch on the right.

LV Sub on my left, black 44mm Apple Watch4 on the right. Only bought the apple watch about a month ago to motivate me to exercise more and it's working a treat. Not sure if I'll keep wearing it once I've hit my weight goal, but it's been pretty handy in that I hardly have to pull my phone out of my pocket now.

I saw a thread a while ago discussing this very thing and thought from reading that, that I'd be very self conscious of it, but then I realised I don't care what anyone thinks. A mate who is also into watches had a laugh and then I showed him what it could do and he went out and bought one as well.

Still always check the time on the left wrist though :)

Yeah I do it as well. Felt odd for about 20 minutes and that was it.

Only one person has commented, I doubt many people even notice.

I find it works well...

Too much for me. I did do a Fitbit and a watch for a few weeks. It was too much for me to keep track of!

If only wanting the health options you could actually strap it on an ankle! Sounds daft but actually it’s quite reasonable.

Wear what you like, but I can’t get on board with yet another device to charge, keeps me more and not less tied to my phone, and gives me no useful info. Collecting stats n calories, steps is nice, but I have found simply asking myself how much I pushed myself at the gym as more useful metric. For gym goers the machines track time, distance, and speed. What else do we need.

I wear my watch on my left and a Fitbit Alta HR on the right. I would take a pic if I had an extra arm. I don't really want to ask a coworker to take a pic because it's too early in the morning for weird requests.

Been doing it for about 5+ years. And yes, my friends know i tend to be... different. Always fun with luxury and those greedy-type salespeople who look at your watch, shoes, etc. to size you up. Wearing the SS SkyD blue and new LaBrons, the exotic car store guys were all over me :)

Wearing two wrist instruments is not something you see much in the wild.

I just can’t do it. Personally, I don’t like the looks of two watches but mainly because wearing a watch on my right wrist just feels weird/uncomfortable to me.

I will wear my Apple watch on my right wrist when I go for a run or playing at the beach and can't or don't want to carry my phone with me.

Apple watch too big for this purpose IMHO. I do wear a regular watch on my left wrist and a Garmin Vivosport on the right but it's less than half the size of the Apple.

If you genuinely have no interest in what other people think (very rare) and you want to wear both. Do it. I think it is very daft. I would laugh at you. If you don’t like the idea of being laughed at then I wouldn’t do it...

All my very humble opinion!

I think it’s been asked over 100 times on TRF since the first smarts were released.

So many people already wear bracelets on the opposite wrist, I don’t see the issue with an AW opposite your Rolex.
