I do it everyday. I need the Apple Watch to track my recovery from a bad motorcycle accident, and I have to wear a Rolex otherwise I'll go into Rolex withdrawal.

Fitbit Flex 2 on my right. Small compact and bracelet like. Doesn't resemble a watch at all.

In my opinion, I feel like it's an acceptance of the blend between tradition and technology. I feel that it demonstrates the fact that smartwatches aren't replacing mechanical or quartz timepieces, and are meant for an entirely different purpose.


I do it with my fitit Charge 3 and my Air King.
I would really prefer to only wear a watch, but tracking my health stats are important to me, so I wear my fitbit as well.

I see all manner of people who wear their Fitbit and regular watch on either wrist. It only looks odd when both pieces are worn on one wrist.

I tried it under long sleeves and wanted to like it, but it feels unconfortable for me wearing a watch on my right wrist, me being right handed.

I can’t do it. Just feels too foreign to me. The LV sales lady was try to pitch the same concept to me on their new smart watch too. She said her clients wear a minute repeater on the left and the LV monstrosity on the right. Rofl okay

Counting calories and steps just stresses me out but wear Apple Watch when running, can take calls and messages without the phone in the shorts, great!

Wouldn't wear Apple Watch otherwise

I take my Rolex off when working out, too heavy plus I wear them loosely. AW goes on for tracking workouts only. But IMO if it works for you just do it.

No. I use a Fitbit HR since it looks more like a bracelet.

I wear both a Rolex (or IWC, Omega, etc) and Apple Watch frequently. No one really notices and I’ve adjusted to wearing the Apple Watch on my right wrist. Yes, it’s dorky and a bit odd but the health monitoring/exercise tracking far outweigh the negatives.

While they may serve different purposes, I'd say "No...don't do it". It makes me think of Diego Maradona...

I bought an Apple watch to avoid rummaging for my phone when cycling and dog walking. I then found it was far more useful than I anticipated and started wearing it more and more. I don't really see it as a watch, more a remote control for my phone.

I was then torn between the utility of the Apple watch and the pleasure of a decent watch. I tried wearing both as an experiment. As I said above doesn't feel weird after a short time and people either don't notice or don't think it merits a comment. It's no different really to wearing a fit bit or similar and a watch, and that seems pretty common.
