Who here collects watches?

There is a market for it. I think of the Apple watch as an office/daily easy lifestyle watch. But there is another market to grab which is the physical work market, like construction workers, and people that play outdoors hard.

I would agree. I know a guy who loves his Apple watch but doesn't dare wear it for his railroad job.

I am still looking at Garmin, and I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos on it. I might have to wait for my birthday.

The problem with getting a smart watch is it makes your other watches much less fun to wear. I have a nice Citizen not getting worn at all.

Well after I ran across this, this looks like the smart watch for me. Ordered it yesterday.

I just got my new watch at lunch and am loving it. F apple.

@jmanz asked me early how I am liking my watch. I am loving it, very happy with my purchase. I still have yet to charge it. I might use 1-2% of battery per day (and I play with it a lot since it's new). I have been downloading a lot of new watch faces lately as well. Each one makes it feel like a totally new watch. I highly recommend it.

I finally got around to charging my watch battery, I made it about a month. When I charged it, it took about 1.5 hours to full charge. So basically 30 days for a 1.5 hour charge. I can live with that. I absolutely love it.
