Who else is willing to admit it.........

Who else is willing to admit to having an apple watch as part of their rotation of watches........??

Wearing my apple watch during the week allows me to keep up with meetings, messages and also my workouts. Come Fridays, I proudly rotate my Rolex....

Who else??

nothing shame to admit it, I will get one as soon as I feel the need. However I have yet to justify the purchase

I have an Apple Watch serie 2; I use it almost daily when I work out early morning. And then it goes back to the charger.

No need for one here, but to each their own.

No Apple watch... my phones are Android and I still have my own identity. But I do have a kickstarter Pebble Steel, still working with GadgetBridge. And same benefits as you see - scheduling, discrete message checking, and I use it during workouts.
But not to the office. My DJ41 gets the most office time, along with my Christopher Ward and my Casio A158WA... because if you're gonna go digital, go old school baby!

I have enough electronics wanting my attention. You couldn’t pay me to wear one.

No thanks. Not for me. I use a Garmin Fenix as my exercise/hike/bike/swim piece. Otherwise it’s a mechanical piece ( or one of my childhood Casio’s). I value wrist time too much for another phone extension to occupy it.

Just got one this year and love it. I bought primarily for using with a DIY artificial pancreas system I’m using called LOOP for many Type 1 diabetes. I can flip my wrist and see my blood sugar level whether on the plane, skiing, mtn biking, or in client meetings. I can also give myself insulin in a public setting without anyone being aware or seeing the pump and asking me if it’s a pager.

I wear the AW on the right and my other watches on the left and don’t give a damn what anyone thinks if they even notice since I generally wear long sleeve shirts.

I’ll probably get one once my iPod shuffle and garmin watch die on me. I like the appeal of the gps on the watch for runs, and I believe the new watches can now store music and stream to wireless headphones.

I used to wear my ceramic Apple Watch a lot but enjoy a real mechanical watch with a bracelet too much to not wear one. My solution was the tiny fit bit on the other wrist or even occasionally on the ankle. I thought it odd at start but honestly don’t mind it at all and the alerts from my phone funnel right into it.

I have my Rolex on my left and a cheapo FitBit Flex 2 on the other wrist. Works good for me.

Not likely, the watch is the only remaining link to the simpler time.

I have an old fitbit being held together with superglue, when this goes, I'll probably give an apple watch a shot. Still waiting for native sleep tracking though... maybe the next model.

I'm not a fan of Apple Watch because I just don't like the design - give me a Frederique Constant, Tag Connected or even a Samsung any day for the looks. However, though watches all lack deep smart functionality...

Baco Noir, your use cases have really opened my eyes though. That's what smart technology should be doing for us and I'm really impressed. Might have to reconsider an AW one of these days!

My Apple "Watch" is a regular wear item, but I wear it on my right wrist. And I wear a real mechanical watch on my left wrist.

The Apple Watch is an extension of my cell phone. It's not a watch. I rely on it for notifications, health related functionality, weather, etc.

I have an Apple 4 and love it! Wear it to the gym and when I exercise and other times as well. Overall a very cool and convenient wearable!

Oh and I do use it to tell the time as it is a watch.

I wear my "real" watch on my left wrist. Sometimes wear the Apple watch on the right. Two reasons - I used to have a Fitbit, and this replaces that for tracking workouts. Also, I don't always hear my phone, and the buzzing on my wrist really helps.
