Thanks....I've been wanting a 43mm rolex but just can't justify since I have this ole girl. The sub / sea dweller is a classic and still get compliments all the time.
What wristwatch do you guys wear daily?

After 4 years, i finally upgraded my Apple Watch Series 4 to Apple Watch ULTRA. I love it!! Everything is so precisely engineered…heck even the Alpine Loop band is amazing! I have no idea how Apple even made the strap! No stitches! The watch itself: titanium, sapphire, and ceramic. Phone calls sound just as good as on iPhone! How?!
For my purpose, HIT exercise for about 12-15 min/day, my watch lasts about 48 hours with daily use before needing charge. Insane! With the upcoming Fall update, this thing may last 3-4 days easily.
Anyways, just want to drop this DURABILITY test video: Apple Watch Ultra Hammer Durability and Drop Test - Will it Survive? - YouTube
Damn! Apple over-engineered this sh!t!

I'm hope he made lots of money from the video after destroying a $800 watch!!
Dang it, it looks and sounds so good. I'm still rocking my Series 3 Nike+ and it just won't quit. Going on 5 years now and the battery still lasts 36 hours. It still does all I need it to do with running regularly and daily life, but the Ultra may catch my dollars soon.
Also, got my first Automatic with a Seiko 5 SRPD91 last year and put it on a red Barton canvas strap. I love the watch for the price, but it's pretty entry level. I wore it for a long time and my apple watch sat, but I eventually went back to Apple mostly.

Same story here. I wore my Rolex for a few days but felt “unhealthy” and my workflow weird without my Apple Watch. Rolex never stays on my wrist beyond 2 days before going back into the closet for storage.
Another durability test of Ultra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A72Ckh990j0&feature=youtu.be
I wear my all natural God given Skin:30 for daily and special occasions.
LOL :becky:

Apple Watch Series 4 dtinless with the DLC coating. Has worn very well with minimal signs of wear. Only negative is the battery. Typically I get 1.5 days ish. A weeks worth or more would be so much better.

Back in 2014:
“According to a designer who works at Apple, Jonathan Ive, Apple’s design chief, in bragging about how cool he thought the iWatch was shaping up to be, gleefully said Switzerland is in trouble — though he chose a much bolder term for “trouble” to express how he thought the watchmaking nation might be in a tough predicament when Apple’s watch comes out.”
-------------------
Ive actual wording was "Switzerland is fu*ked."
10 years later, Mr Ive is right. Switzerland made watches (Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet) did hit a nice bump during COVID (especially Rolex in USED market), but is now trending down again.

I switch between Apple and Android fairly often. Currently using a Samsung phone with the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. But, I've been eyeing the Watch 6 Classic with the rotating bezel. Also have an older Apple Watch 7 in my drawer that I'll likely break out when I (inevitably) switch back to Apple
