I thought I was alone lol I have started wearing a smartwatch to track fitness and sleep info and I wear a normal mechanical watch because I love watches in general and just use that watch to look at the time.
Got rid of my Apple Watch and now wear a FitBit on my right and my mechanical watch on the left. The Apple Watch worked great but the investment in regular watches has a much better return on your money (depending on what you buy) compared to having to buy a new Apple Watch every refresh cycle. The FitBit holds its charge for a week compared to having to recharge the Apple Watch every day. If Apple ever makes a fitness tracker that is less like a watch and holds its charge longer than a day, I might reconsider that. But, for now, this system is working great for me.
Charles I do the same. Sometimes wear the Fitbit in a clip. Since there's no ability to transfer the heartrate data into Apple Health (only a single point or average for the entire day) I have found I use the Fitbit clip more often as a fancy pedometer. An Apple tracker (maybe a watch with no display) would be my ideal.
@@robertkoss1952 thank you for the info about the fitbit clip i didnt know they have this!!! tyvm!!! now its really settled i will not but apple watch for fitness.
Clip may not be sold anymore but the Inspire HR took its place. It has a band that pops off and the carrying clip it can slide into for the same purpose
Tudor Black Bay Pro 2022 on left, Apple watch on right. I need the Apple for all the tech stuff it does; especially notifications, but I'm damned if I'm not going to wear the beautiful Tudor. Great video BTW - thanks!
I’ve been struggling with this for a while. I started playing around while watching this video and got to this: mechanical watch on left wrist and very slim/simple bracelet on the right with the Apple Watch backwards (face on inside of wrist with the Milanese band) It ends up looking like 2 bracelets. I still feel like a power ranger and not in a good way 😂
I've been considering this. I am trying to lose weight again and I use a Garmin watch to track my progress. My Garmin Fenix 5X (with which I lost 100 lbs) was my most expensive watch I purchased until I got my Garmin Marq. I wish Garmin made a fitness tracker that could be worn stealthy so that I can wear whatever watch.
I think its normal. on base at FT Bragg, all the special forces guys and Delta guys wear 2 watches. They have a mission pad on their right sleeve, basically a military computer, and a Garmin Tactix Military Version made just for them wore underwrist on their left hands, and a Samsung Tactical Smart Watch military on their right arm, but the right arm watch is wore backwards so it looks upside down to them but if they raise their arm in firing positions the person next to them can see and read it. They have alot of cool tech. But I don't think we can get their stuff, the Garmin Tactic they have is much different from the one I see on Amazon and the Samsung Tactical Smartwatch is made by Samsung Military Division or something and it hooks up to their Samsung Military Smartphone as well as the Mission pad. It's pretty cool stuff
I used to double wrist with an Apple Watch and automatic watch. However I stopped as I looked like a bit of a tool. So I wear a normal watch and then switch to an Apple Watch for work outs and when I’m at the desk. Great for unlocking my Mac.
Apple should do a bracelet that tracks health... Got 40mm SE2 cos of the heart rate and calories burned tracking but I still like wearing my mech watch too
I do that sometimes, the only time I wear a regular watch by itself will be a party. If I want to wear a nice watch somewhere I will wear my smart watch as well. I don't care about the notifications, but all the other features are just not ideal to go without. Nowadays 99% of the time I just wear my smart watch, I have a watch collection but it's been relegated to special occasions. There's no way I'd ever wear two mechanicals! I don't see the point.
I wore my Apple Watch exclusively and found I no longer wore my other watches which were good pieces. I then got my most recent nice watch and though if people can wear bracelets as jewelry, why can’t a watch be a piece of jewelry. So now I wear two sometimes.
guys go for a smart band, cheaper, better battery life and the SAME health benefits. currently wearing a huawei band 8 on the inside right wrist, and my array of 12 watches on my left wrist
I double watch with plastic strap watches. One is a Amazfit Bip S that gets notification and the other one is a Casio World Time. The smart watch vibrates and the other one has auditable 5 alarms. If you want you can make a watch look like a bracelet if you wear it on the inside the wrist.
I wear the Apple Ultra when I'm working out or taking kids to zoo..etc...Its nice because i don't have to carry my iphone. (which was main reason for getting the Ultra) When i go out to dinner, or anytime im dressed properly, I wear my Rolex. Can't do the 2 watch thang. But i respect your choice.
What about wearing a smartband (not a smartwatch) and a mechanical watch on the same wrist?🤔 Smartbands look simpel and are smaller than an actual smartwatch so could that perhaps work?
Was actually thinking of doing this with my mechancals + a huawei band 7 or watch fit 2, just for the added benefit of receiving stuff on wrist as opposed to having to pull out my behemoth of a phone every time someone sends a message. I don't know how i'd wear the tracker though, upside down military style or both the watch and the band facing up
I wear an apple watch to track my fitness throughout the day, but also wear a Timex expedition above the apple watch for the time. This saves the battery on the apple watch as I am not continually switching the display on. I like to wear a leather cuff with my apple watch with a leather cover over the watch face and also have the apple watch inside an amband moving fortess pro stainless case with a screen protector as well. Sme might think it is a little over the top for protection, but I know unless I get my wrist run over buy a truck it should be okay. I wear the Timex above the apple watch cuff with an infinite adjustable strap so I can get exactly the right tension to stop the watch rotating around my wrist. Good vid, love that chrono, like n sub from me.
Problem is smart watches are designed well for doing everything except telling time. This is a feature that though they have, all the other features get in the way of simply checking the time.
Glad to find this video. I have been double wristing with a fitbit for a couple years and wanted to upgrade to a small Apple watch. I just wish they still made a small 35mm or so Apple watch.
I used to wearing mechanical 42mm on left wrist and smaller smart watch 40mm on left wrist. After considered to upgrade said smart watch..just realised it was 44mm slightly bigger than mine mechanical. Btw still love to wearing both wrist!
I think wearing a mechanical and a large fitbit or apple watch looks silly. Wearing two mechanical watches? Really bad taste. If you collect watches just alternate which ones you wear. I wear the smallest fitbit, which looks more like a black unisex bracelet and disappears under a shirt sleeve, along with a traditional mechanical watch on my left hand. If i am working out I leave the mechanical at home. I don't love the look, but I've resigned myself to it, since I am hooked on the fitbit, but still like to wear a classic mechanicals when appropriate.
I'm trying out 2 smart watches. I have a galaxy active watch 2 on my right wrist for personal use (I'm left handed) and a Garmin Vivosmart 5 on my left wrist for my work phone. I turned off the similar features on the Garmin because I go off the Samsung watch. I just needed something for phone and email notifications for my work phone so I can keep it on silent
To me, wearing an apple watch was a bit downing, since i have to charge it everyday n also it feels a bit big on the wrist. What’s on my thought was a smaller smartwatch, for example xiomi mi band 7 that were actually small enough, so it feel more to like a band compare to a watch.
I wear my Miband on my right hand,and other watch on my left hand.. my miband use for health reason,and for notification from my phone.. been silent my phone for almost 2 years since i got my miband.. its a peace of mind to put phone on silent.. 😂 i wear my miband 24/7,take it off only to charge it..
Sometimes I dual-smartwatch. The main wrist for a Garmin, and sometimes the second one for a Galaxy Watch with LTE. Garmin is a better brand than the others regarding data privacy IMO, especially for health-related data (they're even okay with us just giving a nickname), and the battery life is quite impressive with an always-on MIP display, and has offline maps. As for the Galaxy Watch (so, with health data disabled) it's like having a mini-smartphone that also accepts more banks on Samsung Pay or Google Pay than Garmin Pay.
I think the verdict is already out on this one, consensus is it looks goofy, awkward and definitely not stylish. one of each or two normal watches. it really is a tough one, i hope someone makes smart watch BANDS that you can attach your normal watch to. best of both worlds. or you know actually creating good looking smart watches that will last 100 years like a watch should (but they wont because they rely on you buying a new one every few years. Again just because something is becoming normal that doesnt mean its a good thing. its normal to be obese and not exercise its normal to eat bad foods, its normal to not have friends over for dinner. Theres smart rings which may be the answer to our prayers, but the best of them are madly expensive and look garbage imho.. haha sorry if that was an abrasive message but i just totally disagree. You're clearly doing something in the fashion space and you're looking sharp and that's important for your credibility, double wristing (hilarious name) takes away from your stylish look and makes you lose some of that credibility. Anyway wish you all the best mate and congratulations on the growing success of your channel
I think it’s totally stupid. I just swap. Apple Watch is my beater for the week at work (I work in IT, so it matches the job). In the weekends I wear mechanical watches. Still waiting for a better priced solution as a ring, as the Oura ring, which is far overpriced.
You didn't need to explain the rationale of wanting to wear a smart watch, Captain Obvious. Very long winded. Honestly nothing needs to be said as it is entirely a preferential thing, and I think you are just trying to defend yourself for no reason whatsoever. People think what they want and nothing you can say will change anything. You wanna rock 2 watches, cool. If you get a strange look, so be it, that's what people do as it is not the norm. Your idea that it's catching on is just more justification because it isn't. Maybe 1 in several thousand owners might do this, so the chance I might run into someone doing this is extremely slim. I rock two watches, but two smart watches, one Galaxy Watch (currently 4 Classic), and an Apple Watch. Both provide similar functionality, but I also carry both my phones me as it is my business. I have yet to see anyone notice, smirk, much less comment on it. When I do get comments, it's always with the Galaxy 4 Classic. So far I've gotten complimented 4 times on my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, and none on the Apple watch lol. Anyway, if I saw a person wearing multiple watches, I wouldn't think twice, to be completely honest. There are watch enthusiasts, and some just love their watches enough wear them simultaneous, regardless of what type of watch. I've seen some younger gen wear multiple watches on one arm, in the same way they'd wear multiple bracelets. Everything people do regarding this you can always rule it as a fashion statement if anything.
I thought I was alone lol

Which fitbit did you get?
I double wrist a Fitbit to track my workouts and steps. Think it's totally fine!
i double wrist too, the apple watch looks awful and i want to counter balance with a nice watch.

so do you wear Fenix 5X and Marq together?
@@playingwithV no. Just the Marq. I gave away the Fenix to a friend.
Wear a black Garmin 4 vivosmart on right wrist or ankle and whatever as your primary watch on your left wrist
Thanks for watching!
Just wear the smartwatch under your wrist that way it kinda looks like you're just wearing rubber wrist bandlol
lol

I bet they will eventually! Or a ring, like many other companies have started to do.

I wear a Apple Watch and a g-shock watch on the same wrist. I alternate wrist side each day.
I really thought i was alone, think i found my tribe :P
I am going to get the Apple ultra for all smartphone options.. but I am already using a Garmin for tracking my everydaylife... so I will be using both
Nice! Thanks for watching

Double-wristing is wearing ANY two watches - one per wrist. The practice predates smartwatches
Nice video. The UG in the thumbnail is insane

Two mechanicals all the way

I we're two smart watches. One takes my blood pressure and the other one does all the other data collection that I like.

Sometimes I wear a quatz on one and a mechanical on the other
Me too
I wear two as well lol I don’t care what people think!
I wear2 smartwatches one is an Apple series and the other is a garmin series 5 the garmin has the stree option on it
I like this philosophy.
I just can’t bro but kudos to you
Very common these days
Very true!
