    I wear an Apple Watch. I appreciate the health functions, as well as the workout functions and how it pairs with Fitness+. The battery is going on it, so I may need to replace it soon. That is definitely a drawback - they don’t have much longevity.

      I have two watches. I never really wore one, but last year my better half bought me a nice Citizen Solar Powered watch for my Birthday. This past Apple product announcement I purchased my first Apple Watch and wear it more than the Citizen.

          @Mark Cool. So, the solar powered watch never needs batteries or winding? I wish I had that feature.

            The battery is charged via solar and is supposed to last 20 years. The battery is also replaceable.

              I kept replacing my Casio FE-10 watches until they were no longer made. Perfect combination of thin with big enough display to wear while tuning/working. I purchased and returned quite a few others after the last one broke - searching for something that was comfortable enough and ended up with

              I did get a magnetic wrap band for it to cut down on the buckle discomfort while working.

                Casio, Arabic numerals, white dial, AND the least expensive and classic digital.

                I always have these two watches.

                The digital's alarm goes off at 11:56 p.m. for no particular reason. I just let it.

                Hacking this watch is complicated and can take me up to 2 hrs with my poor vision.

                It's worth owning. It's definitely worth wearing. I just don't care enough to go through what's needed to set it.

                It's also on military time. I think the time is close to accurate. 🙄

                  I wore watches, usually ones from the likes of Walmart, before I started carrying a mobile phone with me. I remember my parent bought me a watch from an old school watch shop when I was in secondary school. But I don't remember ever buying a watch from a proper watch/jewelry store myself. I do not remember any of the brand names; I don't think I have ever worn a watch that carried a well known brand name. I stopped wearing a watch not long after I started carrying a cellphone with me regularly, and have not looked back ever since. I was briefly tempted by the idea of an Apple Watch but ultimately thought it not worth the hassle of carrying "one more thing." 🤷

                    My IWC got saltwater in it. The cost of repair was absurd. Let them keep it.
                    Bought a Garmin via Amazon. Charge about every other month.

                      I had an IWC Cal. 89.

                      Mechanical wound and a speed of 18,000 bph. In other words the speed of a pocket watch or "railroad watch."

                      My conclusion? Well, it's no wonder trains crashed because of time keeping errors.

                      My first Mickey Mouse watch was probably a better time keeper.

                        My nice watch is an IWC Portugueser.

                        I’ll probably give it to my son as a college graduation present.

                        My daily wear is an Apple Watch. I use it to track exercise and sleep. I really like it for those two functions.
