Watch?
They still make those in the era of smartphones?

An LG G Watch R but kind of pointless since I can't see the damned thing under the jacket sleeve and full gauntlet.

have not owned a watch since I broke my last one in eight grade almost fifty years ago. Damn I'm getting old.

What kinda watch do you ride with?

I use a CASIO pathfinder for the most part.

No watch. Use GPS if I have it mounted. Otherwise panel clock. And when off the bike, cell phone.

Citizen Eco-Drive Orca, or dash when riding or driving. The action of pulling out my phone, activating the screen just to know the time???? ......... or just flick my wrist.

I can't get away wearing a watch while riding, I have tried but it just doesn't work for me.

I never wear a watch. I own a couple that sit in a drawer at home bought for me as presents by family, but I never wear one.

Ever since I met a guy, must be 40 years ago, who managed to short circuit his watch strap across the terminals of his car battery (only briefly but burns were ghastly - it was a lovely E Type Jag V12 too) I have never worn a watch when driving/biking. I just rely on the Nav, the bike/car clock, the sun, or mobi phone- when not driving.

Still keep my old Seiko, Oyster lookalike, but it only sees the light of day at weddings, funerals or barmitzvahs, reluctantly.

They look nice, but are largely outdated by tech.

That said, will the Apple Watch now capture the public's imagination? ................... KEN
