Apple Watch

I can't go back to not using a watch

My favorite minimal watch face style.

I'm not a watch person. Haven't been for a decade. Always felt it was annoying to have on my wrist and annoying to have on while typing.. but I became more and more intrigued with all the health tracking functionality that the Apple Watch brought to the table. I got my first Apple Watch in 2018, a 40mm Series 4. I've been wearing an Apple Watch ever since.

I now have the 41mm Apple Watch Edition Series 7. For me the best benefit of the Apple Watch is that I don't have to pull my phone out as often. I can, at a glance, see if something a notification or alert is worth interacting with. I also found myself using Apple Pay at various stores and coffee shops. It's so easy; just a double-tap on the side button to pay. The heart rate and activity/workout tracking is similarly first rate.

Now I maintain a small collection of various straps to keep it interesting, but my daily driver is the sport loop band.

I do own one other watch, an Omega Speedmaster Co-axial Chronometer, that I love as well.
