I wear my Apple Watch everyday. I also have a Quell tens unit that is linked and I can turn on and off with the watch. I use the Pulse and EKG and also the Step tracker.

Yes, that's quite a mouthful but that is actually the name of the watch. I have loved watches all my life, and this model is a keeper. It was a 25th Anniversery gift, and it is incredible. I will never regret having acquired it. There are very few true icons in watch history, but the Reverso is unquestionably iconic. And this particular model is simply gorgeous. It is very satisfying to be able to enter any room full of people without ever having to wonder who has the coolest watch.
Very nice, must’ve cost a lot. Do you ever wear it reversed? And if so, why?

Answer for Nicolas:
I never wear it reversed. I'd love to get the verso side engraved with a fine artwork, but haven't (yet!). It's an absolutely useless design, but it is engineered with extreme precision and grace. It's fun to simply operate the switching mechanism.
I also like the dual-faced Reverso models (one watch movement driving the hands on both faces, for an awesome and unique travel watch that is easy to set.

How often does an iWatch need to be charged?
Every night
Pass.
Good idea. It is the only Apple item I have not loved.
This is why my next one is a Garmin Fenix. My significant other has one and is super happy with it.
^ can't recommend Fenix enough. I have a 6X Sapphire, golf app is great, has sleep quality, HRV, HR, Steps, Pulse Ox, weather, etc. If you have a small wrist it's a little big.

I stopped wearing a watch during the pandemic while working from home. The thought never crosses my mind to put one back on. When I was wearing one I was pretty happy with a Timex expedition indiglo.

“What watch do you wear on a daily basis, or are you wearing today?”

Hi tvubpwcisla,

Apple Watch Series 5, 40mm screen, cellular, aluminum case, plain sport band.

I plan to upgrade to a comparable newer model when the software updates stop coming.

I got the watch primarily out of interest in its safety features, such as fall detection and emergency SOS.

I’m male, 58 years old.

Apple Watch Series 7 GPS + Cellular, 45mm
As you know, it's a computer and communications system; the watch part is only 1/100 of what it does.

I've been wearing a Citizen Vintage Brycen Sport allot of late. It's not an expensive watch by any means ($300) but I'm into the emerald green vintage look.

My all time favorite that I'll always go back to is a Bell & Ross BR 03 Auto. I have two Rolex's but I pretty much only wear them at formal occasions and upscale events.

On the ultra low end I have a Casio DW290-1V for camping/fishing and several Invicta's for knocking around in. Funny enough we go to the House of Mouse in FL every two years and I always hit the big mall's invicta store to trade/trade-up a watch. There not great watches but it's nice to be able to trade one in over the 5 year warranty cycle for anything in the store.

I'm wearing .... Oh, gosh, I'm not wearing a watch. I'm retired. Washed up, as my wife says.

When I was working I wore a Victorinox Swiss Army Infantry 24653 or a Casio GWM510-1.

Now that I'm retired, I bought a Citizen ProMaster E168-S116660 that will probably outlive me. I like it because it is solid as a rock, keeps perfect time, and gets its battery power from normal daylight (like the Casio). I still have the Victorinox. It is very nice, but I need to change the battery every two years or so.

I made the same comment to my wife and kids about my 2 Casio atomic solar watches. :sharebeer

I have one of these too but I find it harder to read the time with a quick glance as compared with my analog watches. Great price though! I wear mine when I might be robbed, like when I go to a sketchy part of town or to a third world country.

Nothing...anything that works is good technique!

But, if you had an (updated) Apple Watch and iPhone and you...
went to iPhone settings
searched for "watch"
selected "Apple Watch Remote Screen"
selected "Apple Watch Mirroring"
You could see your watch enlarged on your phone.
I'm not sure what that's good for?

That’s a great watch. I’ve got the SKX007, now out of production.
Always nice to come across another SKX owner. :sharebeer
I have a 009 as well. Hope to get many more years of service out of them.
I also have a used "Planet Monster" built by Yobokies (Seiko Boy) of Hong Kong who specializes in Seiko mods. It's part Omega Planet Ocean, part Orange Monster, part Seiko SKX007 dive watch with a red minute hand and inner anti-reflective blue-coated sapphire crystal on an Oyster bracelet. The movement is SKX007, the 7S26. The seller said there was a problem in that the power reserve was only 12 hours. I bought it anyway for $240, then took it to a jeweler who fixed the power reserve problem for free. It's a beauty. I’ll have had it eleven years this summer.
That's a mighty fine custom. Sounds like it turned out to be great find/deal. The mods can get pretty interesting. While I'm ambivalent about the homage models currently on the market, it does seem to bode well for SKX longevity and customization.

I have the same power reserve issue on my 009. Glad to hear it can potentially be fixed easily/cheaply.

Anyone wearing a MoonSwatch, the collaboration between Omega and Swatch? How is it? The feel? A mini review would be appreciated.
