Can you wear a Rolex and a Apple watch at the same time?
I am excited for the Apple watch to come out for all the health benefits. I do not want to give up my Rolex. Anyone considering wearing Apple watch on the other wrist? Maybe the smaller version would look better?

I wouldn't. I do keep my fitness band on my right wrist but I think having the Apple watch there in its place would look silly with a normal watch on the other. The band I have has no display and looks more like a bracelet.

I was a kickstarter for the Pebble and I do wear both it and my Rolex when driving long distances over many days. The Rolex does my prime timekeeping and the Pebble is on the other wrist so I can keep track of who is calling or texting before I use my BT headset to answer/reply.
The only other time is at the track when it is raining cats & dogs. I don't want to take my iPhone out to see a text and get it soaked - or worse drop it. It stays safe in an inner pocket of the rain jacket. The Pebble is water resistant so no worries. I would expect the Apple Watch could be a useful gadget in those same circumstances.

I haven't figured out why I would need a smartwatch, since virtually everything that a smartwatch can do, my smartphone does.
There might be certain fitness bands that I might consider when I'm certain that the technology is there, which according to reports I've read, it is not yet. As far as counting steps and some other things, my S5 does those things, too, so again no need for a smartwatch.

I did thought of the idea of wearing Apple watch on the other hand, but concluded that it wouldn't look good and I'll probably get frowned upon by people. I'll stick to being admired for just wearing a Rolex. Besides, I don't think I'll need an Apple watch as I can do whatever I need with a iPhone.

I see no need to get an Apple iWatch. It's not going to replace my mechanical watches and I certainly wouldn't wear one on each wrist. I did that once when I was bringing one watch in for service and I got all kinds of funny looks and comments. So no thanks.

I wear my Garmin golf watch on my right wrist because I get less reflection off the face on the greens when putting...... So I don't forget my "golf" watch at home I've gotten in the habit of putting it on before I leave the house thus having a watch on both wrists on the way to the course. It hasn't felt that awkward

My bad!
General Schwartzkopf should have bought a GMT instead of that DJ.

Can you? Sure. Should you? Only if you want to look ridiculous.

Yes, but then the Rolex will really just look like jewelry.

I do like Schwartzkopf's "free world" method of one on each wrist better because they're less likely to scratch each other up.

wear the Rolex wrist out and the iWatch reversed wrist in so it looks like a balance bracelet on the wrist and won't hit the crown or scratch the side of the rolex. if i needed an iWacth, i'd do it. |

I think it would make perfect sense, this way when apple's watch battery dies, you still know what time it is...

The trend I see here in the Bay Area, analogue watch on left, smart watch on right. It seems to work and I see this trend growing. I would consider it.
I once wore my System 51 on my right and my Explorer II on my left and got a ridiculous amount of appreciative comments. Change is good, change is progression.

I'll wear both. It will compliment my Google glass while riding my Segway. My only conundrum, however, is whether or not to remove my Bluetooth when out and about during the day. I'd really rather not give up such a fashion-forward accesory.

I say no but that is just my personal preference. Plus I see no need for a smart watch for my personal needs at this point so my Rolex will be flying solo.

I wear the Garmin Vivofit on the left; Rolex always on the right. The Garmin looks like a thinner bracelet, so not too bad.

I have been wearing both since I got my Android Wear watch back in July. I reverse the face and wear it on the opposite wrist. Looks like a nice rubber bracelet with a stainless fastener.

Seriously. Does anyone really think you need to wear an apple watch at all.
