Florida Vacation: Rolex or Apple Watch

I'm heading to Florida this week for a beach vacation. I can't decide whether to wear my black Milgauss or my Apple Watch. I'm leaning towards my Rolex because I can wear it to the beach/in the water, which isn't great for the Apple Watch. Thoughts from the smart people here?

Milgauss would look great in the sunlight! Where are you headed?

I love looking at my Milgauss in the bright sun! Apple Watch, on the other hand, not so much. I'm heading to Naples, FL.

Because I'm crazy and I like to travel light. It would (for no rational reason) really bother me to take two watches on vacation.

Plus, I'd worry about leaving my Rolex in the room while I'm wearing the Apple Watch.

Take both just I case but you'll find you're wearing your Rolex more often.

Thats what insurance is for. A milgauss is easily replaced. Now if you had a daytona c that would b harder to replace if stolen.

I guess that depends on why you bought each one.

I would take the one I would wear the most.

Good luck!

I wouldn't worry about your watch getting jacked from a room in naples but if you must, rolex only. Do you rotate the apple in often or just for fitness?

I would go with the Rolex. But then I don't think Apple watches are worth what they cost, especially since they have to be tied to your iPhone in order to work properly.

In trip mode (flying or driving), Apple Watch - very useful to get notifications, etc.

In Vaca mode, your Rolex - you are now unplugged so AW stays in glove box or hotel room.

This is what I'd recommend.
