Classic lux watches all the way, and definitely from one of the classic brands wether it’s omega tag Rolex or PP depending on budget (no one is going to remember Daniel Wellington in 3 years) also I personally find smart watch very unappealing and feel like it should only be worn during workouts.

I don’t find smart watches to have a use in my lifestyle. My phone and my Fitbit do that for me. So, wearing a watch comes down to habit and aesthetics. And aesthetically a luxury watch is much more appealing :)

Hello all:smile: I wore my Apple Watch almost every day last summer till I noticed it made almost a burn looking mark on my wrist under the watch. It has since faded substantially but the mark is still there. I no longer wear my Apple Watch daily. I will wear it when hiking/running/etc but i take it off as soon as I finish & read the results. Pic below is the mark on my wrist today - it was a lot darker... and definitely was not there prior to wearing the Apple Watch daily. So... I would say for daily wear a non-smart Watch is the safer bet.

This is so interesting. I had a similar dark mark on my hand due to resting my iPad against it. It was from the heat. I went to my dermatologist and he said that he usually sees that darkness on his patient’s legs from resting their laptops directly on their lap. I stopped resting my iPad directly against my hand and the dark spot went away after a few months. I have thought about getting an Apple watch but am more hesitant after seeing this injury.

I love my luxury watch. The Apple watch would be big on my wrist and the technology updates too often for me to enjoy the purchase.
