Here is my Dilemma.

I would like to know everyone's thought on wearing an Apple Watch while wearing a Rolex. It will be the Nike model and used strictly for tracking steps and so on. (Right wrist)

It sounds so stupid when I say it out loud but I love the features that the Apple Watch offers versus another fitness tracker. The thing is I will always wear a Rolex on my wrist.

Now I feel like if I saw someone walking with 2 watches I'd think their retarded so I guess I'm answering my question, Though I'd still like to hear other opinions.... Lol.

Thanks!

I wear a fitbit on my non-watch hand (right). Got the alta model so it wouldn't look like I was wearing two watches...not sure about the model you're talking about.

I'd use an Apple Watch belt clip instead.

Not something I would do, but I don't always make the best decisions. Check out the Fitbit one, clips onto your pocket.

I thought about getting an Apple watch to get messages while my phone was charging in another room but decided against it when I realized I wouldn't wear the Apple watch outside.

Sounds dumb.

no, don't do this.

Go with the Fitbit, the Apple Watch (I have it) is a poor step tracker...

You're right it is retarded. Is it so hard taking off a watch and putting on a another? If it is then you go ahead and start a fashion trend.

If you read my original post this was clearly not to replace my watch. It will be used for a fitness tracker only. So to answer you question No, it is not hard to switch watches. I do it constantly with my other Rolex's!

Thank you!

I have considered it as well, but opted to go with a Fitbit, since it doesn't look quite as weird. I'm still likely to buy an Apple Watch someday, but for now the Fitbit gets me by. If I lived somewhere where long sleeves were on for a large portion of the year, definitely don't think it'd be a problem during those months, but where I am is short sleeves year round.

I cannot imagine wearing short sleeves in Hawaii.

Fitbit, on opposite wrist. I see it all the time.

I would go with an alternative that doesn't look like a watch, if you really must have one of these fitness trackers. Personally, I spend the money on protein powder and creatine instead and use the waist of my trousers and a manual check of my resting heart rate as a more accurate guide to my fitness level

DLRIDES · 29 May 2017, 01:45 PM

Apple does not produce a watch. They do produce some sort of wrist worn communication device though.

snyde · 29 May 2017, 02:06 PM

Tried it. Failed

I have been wearing the Fitbit Charge HR for almost 3 yrs on the opposite wrist & it has been a great combo.

Eva123 · 7 June 2017, 07:13 AM

To wear both watches is very silly. Also, i assume that if you have Apple watch then you have iPhone which can track all your steps and uour activity (check app Moves). If you want to have a reliable fitness tracker then buy Polar, Suunto, Garmin with HR bekts. These devices measure your HR rate and many other parameters. Apple watch, Fitbit are onlh nive toys.

The fit bit is more bracelet like and wont look like your wearing two watches
