No need for a beater, gshock, etc. This will do the trick 99% of the time. Sub for when appropriate and BB58 for low key.

Super impressive so far! The series 5 is an amazing piece of technology!

The always on option is a big plus! I have a 4 and I mainly use it for working out, in part because it is not easy to glance down and check the time (especially in meetings).

I am seriously debating adding one. I’m worried it will take up too much wrist time. With the current market I’d consider dropping my TT sub and adding the series 5. Would still have the GMTc LN

I have not worn any of my mechanical watches since the Apple watch Gen 1 I then sold the Gen 1 so I could go back to my watches but that didn't last long and I subsequently purchased a Gen 2. I have my house alarm, CCTV and other apps all buzzing my wrist. Don't think I would cope without an Applewatch/Smartwatch now.

great watch ... considering that vs a DD40 for daily

Haha it is considerably lighter, and less expensive. Also happens to have day date functionality and ekg / ecg lol.

Not for me, don't see the benefit of having one.

And before anyone asks, I am an Apple addict, we have 4 iPads, 2 iPods, 2 iPhones and 1 MacBook Pro, I just don't get this having a phone on my wrist.

Same here, love apple just don’t feel the need to add the watch

[1665fan]

No thanks

[Rebel]

Not my cup of tea.

[Bizcut1]

I am going to wear my 4 on my right wrist for awhile and see how having two on simultaneously feels...going to pick up the 5 regardless, though...looks great!

Inexpensive, high quality and fun...sold!

I really don’t think that’s a beater nor durable. It’s a lap top for your wrist. Have no interest in them. My iPhone does the trick and remains discreetly in my pocket unless I need it. Can’t ever imagine that replacing any Rolex for me for even a nanosecond

It's more durable than a rolex. I'd sooner run a marathon with the apple watch on than a rolex. I actually had one for a couple days, but it didn't do as much as a garmin.

Your final point, though, "Can’t ever imagine that replacing any Rolex for me for even a nanosecond." I couldn't agree with that more. For me, it was for two different things - active and everything else. The apple and garmin are more durable and better for activities. Everything else - rolex checks all the boxes and more.

100% to everything you said, which is why I caved! Love my Rolex but find myself needing a light weight alternative on my wrist, which as a bonus, has tons of useful applications! It is not a watch, rather a mini watered down computer on the wrist. However, it tells the time, is durable, useful and makes sense when a Rolex just doesn’t. On the flip side, a Rolex is where my heart is, and has its place when an Apple Watch just wont do.

I had one on constantly before. I enjoyed the 'disconnect' when I stopped wearing it. If i didn't want to take a call, it wasn't ringing both my pocket and my wrist. Its a really elegant piece of tech, that has a way of merging into your life in ways you never knew you needed/wanted.

I still think they look really good. The new titanium case version sounds interesting too. Congrats on your new watch!

Ha I never did either. Always had a max iPhone, so iPads are useless and always thought Apple Watch to be as well. Let’s see how this experiment goes! If I start posting it in the WRUW posts, then I know it’s time for me to be excommunicated!

I had one years ago and stopped weraring it. I got sucked into one last year because of the EKG function but it turns out my heart has no problems damn it. Now it sits unloved while I wear my Seamaster and now, my Milgauss.

I had a few. Each sat unworn. Thank goodness they were gifts.

Sorry to hear you chose the blue pill, Neo. Enjoy your life attached to the Matrix.

I think they are true, TRUE tool watches. I only use them when I need that tool. I don't enjoy them because they are just another distraction from the real world. I have enough of those.

This. Not for me but I gave my GF a smart watch last xmas and it never leaves her wrist. She loves it (the model I picked has goes at least 2 weeks on a charge. Daily charging would have been a no-go for her)

But it really is the perfect tool for her. She had a nice gold watch that her dad gave her and basically destroyed the finish because she works in a lab. Constant exposure to bleach as a disinfectant. She also can't take her cell phone into some labs (security and a cleanliness thing. When doing some lab work they don't want you to touch anything but the samples you are working on). But a smart watch lets her know if she got an important call or text and she can scrub out if she did. So it really is a great tool for her work.

I wonder... Rolex wallpaper on series 5 .

[PVson]

Sorry for the blasphemy

I have a 44mm Series 4 that I am selling due to the constant draw back to my 14060m.
