I see smart watches everywhere these days.....I doubt I could ever have a “connection” to a smart watch the way I do with my Rolex

Looks like the right answer for Grey Market up-selling.

I actually work with someone who wears a smart bracelet with his watches. A non branded one on silicone.

Apple ended up paying the Swiss Federal Railroads (SBB) millions of dollars in royalties when they put the famous station clock (with the red ball second hand) in their iPhones without permission. Watch out if you write an app with a picture of a GMT II face and try to sell it.

It’s actually the opposite for me! I used to wear an Apple Watch almost everyday until I got my Rolex Exp1, which now my daily watch. Apple Watch is only for the gym now.

My clients in insurance are thrilled that the sheep are lining up to wear smart watches, fitbits etc. They now have access to data about the wearers health, activity etc and they’ll be denying payouts by the truckload when you make a claim and are asked to provide any or all health data you may hold. Didn’t declare that mild LVH that is recorded in your device. Never wear one of those things.

Some will put an upside down E on it, put Folex on the rehaut, and put an oval on the second hand and call it a Fake app.
