The closest I have come to a "smart" watch are my casio pathfinders, that are now dubbed "protrek", maybe one day I will dip my toes in the waters of apple, and this is their most intriguing offer for me....even if I do live in the middle of the desert and don't dive.
Casio's Protrek watches are superb pieces of engineering – I have two of them and love them a lot. The Ultra does bring an awful lot to the table though – think Apple has hit a home run with this one, assuming of course that one is open to the idea of the Apple Watch in general.
"I even occasionally wear it in the shower when I am feeling existentially challenged, and taking off a watch before attempting to wash away the human stain is more than I can bear"
Thanks to you, Jack, I am now happily double-wristing with an Apple Watch (graphite stainless steel) on my left wrist, and one of my 5 Omegas on my right. Best of both worlds…
You were right that it took some time for my “unused” wrist to come to terms with the feeling of wearing a watch, but it eventually happened, and Apple’s braided solo loop (which is a game-changer) really helped.
