Each day they become more and more popular, especially by senior folk. Convenient, affordable, and actually helps with fitness related metrics/activities, among others. Love it.
They are increasingly popular with more senior people.
have seen a few MDs switching their PP or Rolex for an Apple Watch.
They love telling you that they measure all their sports activities with it...
The only way for them to flex their trophy wife that is 20 years younger than them in the office...
haha exactly

I didn’t particular feel that I needed them. I got a newer model Fitbit but return it pretty quickly. It doesn’t really track calories burned accurately (why I wanted it) and I didn’t see much use for it besides checking my heart rate. Its probably useful if you are runner and want to track how much you ran and other. I take my phone with me everywhere so basically didn’t see a purpose for needing an extra device when I have my phone.
Along the lines of what other posters have said, no one will really care negatively what kind of watch you wear as long as it isn’t obscenely expensive or too flashy whatever that might mean. Obviously some people will be into watches so might react positively to a cool watch but I really wouldn’t overthink this. Smart watches are definitely totally fine and tons of people wear them.
No particular perception at all these days. The days of a watch culture are pretty much over on the street (and this is coming from a diehard watch guy) so an Apple watch, for example, will have essentially zero effect on your perception
Garbage cheap Chinese plastic crap. Get a real wristwatch or go home!
Agree, apple watches have no character. Women find men instantly more attractive that have a real watch, especially a complicated diver or chronograph. It screams “masculine”
