Thread: Could you wear two watches 😉

  1. #1

    Could you wear two watches 😉

    Could you wear a mechanical watch on a daily basis and maybe a fitness watch as well?

    I love my auto daily wearer but I've gotten back into my fitness in a big way and hanker for a fitness watch/apple sport watch...

    I sometimes wear two watches. No activity tracker though. That's for wannabe fit people.
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    If I saw someone with 2 watches on, I'd slowly edge away from them.....

    Why would I - when I still have two wrists - restrict myself to wearing a watch on just one of them?

    I'll happily wear two when at home (mechanicals), just because they're pretty, and being in a box is not the same as being on the wrist. Outside though? Behave! I look daft enough as it is.

    Normal watch on right wrist, fitbit charge on the left (I normally wear my watch on the right).

    This has also revolutionised my watch choices, as I don't need to have the date any more- I can use the fitbit. So far only a PRS-25 has come my way, but I do fancy a 16040...

    As someone else said, I'm ok with the fitbit, as it doesn't look like a watch. I'd feel a bit silly with an Apple watch for example, but that's me.

    On that basis you could also wear a ring on every finger, have two bluetooth earpieces on and have both nipples pierced (if you're that way inclined).

    Less is sometimes more.

    I
    choose to wear no rings at all, two bluetooth earpieces (are they still in use btw?) wont work together and I use my headset most of the time, you don't know how many nipples I have and it's none of your business whether some or all are pierced.

    You see, as I see it, wearing just one watch is like using a monocle instead of a decent pair of specs, or braces over one shoulder only.

    I concur.

    We do wear shoes and socks on both feet don't we? Why not watches on both wrists, after all they are performing slightly different functions.

    We need to start a dual watch movement so it'll start being more of a social norm!

    Watch on left, Fitbit Charge HR on right.
    If I need GPS I use a Fitbit Surge but on my left as my only watch (while running or cycling).

    Maybe the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba banned GMTs due to their imperialist soft drink related nicknames ?

    Did you know my dad in the 70's !?!

    He's cut down now to just 2 or 3 rings in total.

    Watch on left wrist and non-round fitness band on right. Currently using the Microsoft Band 2. Reached the age where I don't care if I look stupid...

    Mechanical on the left - Garmin on the right

    If I'm going bush I sometimes wear a third on a long nato below the calf. Some of the lads wear four.
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    Fitbit is not really a watch even if it does tell time.
    I see a lot of people wearing those who aren't exactly athletic or gym rats or even physically that active. It has become like a bracelet,another piece of man jewellery.
    I think it is ok to wear a watch on one hand and an activity tracker that doesn't look like a watch on the other.
    If someone wants to make a fashion statement by wearing two watches on the two wrists,I wouldn't be judgement all or critical. I know of Watch buffs who do this.

    Only done it once when Mrs Piemuncher was in labour - one watch to time the contractions, and the other to time how far apart they were.
    I will confess, I did find having a watch on each wrist strangely satisfying.
    It was a girl by the way.

    Oliviero bottinelli who's the (ex) head of AP Asia is often photographed wearing two watches. Whether that's just for events as a publicity stunt, or him making the most of his staff discount is up for debate

    Yeah of course and it's important to strap your 300 gram Rolex/Omega ON TOP of your wind breaker sleeve while jogging, for easy reading. Also it doubles as a reflector if jogging during dark unlike those pesky usually dark rubber sport instruments.

    Cmon seriously? Two watches ⌚️?
    No ! what is this? It's some eccentric ,Doc Brown ,all because I'm white and nerdy 🤓 , Seth brundlefly OCD behaviour.

    Surely three is more suitable

    Then again a smartphone in the pocket of a two watch wearer has the time so it's a pocket watch - there's your three

    I used to wear two or three swatch in my early teens. Then puberty took over.
    Oh and that anklewatch during summer.
