I refuse to use an Apple watch because

a. It's too expensive,
b. battery doesn't even last 24hrs. You're supposed to charge it every night, but then how is it performing sleep tracking when it's not being worn?
c. Looks ugly
d. Will be too restricted like all Apple products

Currently wearing a Garmin Forerunner a friend gave me. It looks ok.

Attraction (like almost everything) is mostly a subconscious process. Just because women aren't aware a watch worn as jewelry on a man is contributing to their level of attraction doesn't mean it's not happening.

It would be super easy to place in the top 5% of well-presented men in the PNW because hardly anyone tries. Problem is, the women are schlubby too, and they don't want to be out-dressed by a man.

In junior college, some women said I was best-dressed. I just put a polo shirt on instead of a stained T-shirt and wore shoes that weren't sneakers... oh, and I wore a nice looking watch.
