Do you wear 2 watches?

I’m beginning to see people wear a left and right watch, do you do this or have you seen it?

I’ve seen people wear a smart watch on one wrist and a regular watch on the other. I still think it looks weird. But I’m old. 

·

Next week will mark 5 months since I started wearing a fitness tracker on my off wrist & a standard on my regular wrist. 

Second nature now. 

Would I ever wear double normal watches? I don't think so, but...

Around the house sometimes I will, if I want to keep two automatics wound if I plan on wanting to wear both the next day (separately), and fear that one won’t last throughout the night, but otherwise I find it gaudy and attention-seeking.  Normally I’m a: “ Do what you want, they’re your watches.“ type of person, but I can’t say I’ll ever get behind wearing two watches in public.

·

In the privacy of my own home and when I’m returning a watch to someone and want to have one to wear after it’s delivered, yes. Other than that I am not brave enough lol.

·

That will be a no from me.

·

Nah

·

Double wristed a couple of times. Usually while going to my watch guy for bracelet sizing and stuff. Certainly easier than dragging a travel case or pouch along.

·

At home all the time. In public only while wearing long sleeves for me.

·

Firm no here, but you do you.

·

Rarely, including right now. 
 

I have my old Timex Expedition after a battery change (it’s been years since it last ran) on the right and my EDC SubC on the left.

·

I have never seen it and hope I never will.

My thoughts on using two watches on both arms:

It's like having two phones, but just to call people with both at the same time. Technically doable, but what is the point? And I think it's more hassle than just using one at a time.

Maybe there is a trend of using watches as an armband that tells you the time, but then it would be an armband and not a watch.

I would rather only use one watch at a time, it is less weird on the wrists (I wouldn't do well trying to put a watch on my main hand), it is functionally less redundant, since you only need to see the time once (and there are many-a-models with dual time already if you need two different time zones), and fashion wise, less of a visual clutter. I think only one watch complements the look just fine.

Personally I think it looks too busy and a little ridiculous. I also think you’re definitely more prone to scratching if you’re wearing two watches lol. A little tacky for my taste, but the beauty of it is you can do whatever the hell you want!

Yes , I agree it does look odd. I'm old too, but I am guilty of doing it myself. 

Since a couple of years ago when I had an out of the blue blackout while driving my car to work ( I was then a heavy goods vehicle driver trainer ). I start wearing a health tracker band.

Though back to full fitness now I continue to wear this little device on my right wrist to be safe and now I guess out of habit but it does give me useful information to help stay on top of my health.

I'm now no longer driving and walk to work in a small factory locally, the cause of my blackout was finally determined to be a medication that I was given for a seemingly unrelated condition, which apparently only 1 in 10000 people have a reaction like mine too. Now Since then I have met in the region of 10 other guys who have had similar issues with the same medicine ( Tamsulosin ) which seems high as I'm sure I don't know 100000 people let alone just men .

Anyway even though it's a weird  look to me  I guess  I doit to a degree. Though two actual watch's would be really odd and that Is something I have yet to see anyone doing .

Only when I'm wearing two six shooters. :)

Never ever

·

This is the behavior of a sociopath

·

Bahahah what about 2 watches on one wrist? That might be a clear the area type of situation

I thought that 'double wristing was a euphemism for something else. 

wanna google that?

I’ve also seen smartwatch and regular. That‘s understandable, otherwise looks weird to me. 

That’s what I’ve seen too

·

Come to the dark side 😈

I do this every day. It started when I wanted to keep my automatics wound around the house. Now its everyday practice for me. Never anything too fancy mind you, just tool watches and divers. And nothing too expensive, less than the cost of two apple watches. Its fun, it confuses people, plus I get to enjoy more of my collection more regularly.

I can understand being put off by it, I would never do it with a luxury piece or a dress watch as I would want those to stand out for what they are and avoid scratching them. I dunno, I think its fun. You do you!

·

No, I like to rock my spiky leather punk rock bracelet on the other wrist.

·

I do the watch and smartwatch combo. Sometimes people ask me why, I just say that the smartwatch is just an extension of my phone. 
 

ps: I’ve never used two actual watches at the same time tho. Only Maradona could pull that off.

I wear my Apple Watch on my right wrist and a regular mechanical watch on my left wrist. Apple watch is for fitness tracking, and notifications.

Being old has happily curmudgeonified me too!

I’m Angry at loud talkers yelling at their ear buds.  Angry at truck smoke that I've gotta breathe.   Angry at ebikers with no bike skills who go way too fast … Yes, sometimes that cloud needs a shout at as well.

...but Double wristing is harder for me to come down hard on though.  I am guilt ridden to admit it, but do it sometimes.  One clear use is charging up 2 autos when doing house stuff; quite useful actually.   But my general policy is to never wear 2 outside, and certainly not 2 automatics (an auto plus Garmin or fitness something might be passable if working out)

·

Apple Watch on my right wrist for fitness tracking, weather etc. and a real watch on my left wrist. 

·

Most I can tolerate is if it's a smart watch and a normal one 😂

·

Out of the question for me personally.  First of all my wrists are different enough in size and that mean adjusting the bracelets.  Second I've tried it and comfort wise it just doesn't work well.

·

I'll sometimes wear an f91w under the cuff on my right wrist if I have a new auto or one I haven't wore in a long time and want to track the accuracy. 

Although I do fully accept that I am a strange specimen
