Wearing 2 watches at the same damn time.

Like a smart watch and a mechanical, obviously on different wrists, otherwise it would be weird. ;)

Who does it? What do you think? I kinda want to do it.

It's not for me, but I don't remember anyone laughing at this guy.

I think outdoors no way. I only do that at home so I can wear one each day to work.

I forgot to search for Shwartzkopf. He also had an Army or 2 behind him.

I do it .... am not willing to give up a mechanical watch on my left hand and my fit bit is on my right hand. Fit bit for my heart rate, sleep, and steps, and it has a digital clock

Rolex because I really like wearing it.

I did it during my travel to the US. My DJ on my left and TAG Aquaracer on my right for the local.

As I entered the NYC AD the staff may have thought I was weird.

They were probably right.

Seen this done with nice watch / wrist worn fitness device a fair bit. Doesn’t look much different from having bracelet(s) on the other wrist.

Fitness devices are becoming quite ubiquitous now so it’s probably something we may see more of.

There is a thin disc available that attaches to the back of any watch and turns it into a fit/smart watch. Seems like a great idea but the unit is plagued with quality control and battery life issues. Called "chronos", I believe. Might be worth a gamble at the recent selling prices of $19-25...

If you’re embarrassed just wear long sleeves everywhere

I've worn my Fitbit with my watches and I've worn them on the same wrist, especially when I'm bowling, because I wear a support glove on my right wrist.

It's no big deal and it's nobody's business, either.

On the plane. Usually take 2 watches away and feel safer wearing both than leaving one in a bag, out of sight.

I have occasionally worn a mechanical watch on my left wrist and a fitness tracker on my right. Buzz Aldrin can pull off that 2-watch look.

Funny this topic was brought up. I'm in Disney World and loads of people are rocking the Mickey Mouse "Magic Band" on one wrist and a watch (digital/quartz/rarely a mechanical) on the other. I think its quite all right to wear two watches if they serve different functions.

My apple watch has become mostly tracking and notifications and so i bought the smaller one and wear my mechanical watch on the left. I’ve tried very hard not to give a damn and it’s mostly working but it’s also long sleeve weather. This summer i expect tan lines on both wrists.

I do it. My Rolex is on my left and my Apple Watch is on my right. I'm recovering from a nearly fatal motorcycle accident and need to track too much information related to my recovery. There is no way I'm not wearing my Rolex. If I'm going out, I flip the Apple Watch and it kind of looks like a bracelet.

They must be on the same wrist or it means nothing.

Sony just came out with a good idea for a bracelet/band that attaches to an existing watch head, basically marries the mechanical watch and the smart, not a terrible idea.
