Interested to know what everyone does when they have a formal date or wedding etc. do you wear your Apple Watch as is? Switch a band out? Go watch less? Switch to a nicer watch (Swiss, seiko) etc.
I wear my AW during a wedding. The bride and groom does not want anyone taking out phones because it can cause distractions. My Apple Watch is cellular, so it’s not a problem for me
I switch it out for the correct watch for the occasion, won’t catch me lookin like some spykids shit in a suit with a tablet strapped to my wrist
I switch to my gold old chunky analog watch for formal occasions when I have to wear a full suit like weddings etc. If it’s smart-cas then I go with the Apple Watch but with either the leather or metal links strap.
As others have commented, I swap the watch band for a more formal one. Usually leather or titanium band. I also tend to change the watch face to a more formal one as well just for aesthetics.
I’ll wear a metal/leather band. Mainly for me, don’t really care about what others think of it. A smartwatch is really common nowadays anyway.
It’s more noticeable when I don’t wear it because of the tan line.
Wear my Milanese Loop and California face with a color that matches my shirt. I don’t get dressed up a lot so it looks ok to me and I’ve gotten compliments on the combo.
Just silence notifications.
When I was a bridesmaid for my sister and wore it up on my bicep hidden by my sleeve.
Apple Watch when working out, or doing something that will be rough on the watch. Otherwise I’m pretty much always wearing an analog mechanical dive watch. These days it’s pretty much always my Tudor Pelagos 39.
I used to get a little self conscious wearing them in formal dress situations years ago when they were newer. Now they are so mainstream nobody would think twice about it. I still will swap in a leather band for those situations now
I have an Apple Ultra and a 300$ Nomad Titanium watch band. I wear it with anything and don’t worry about it.
titanium band for occasions where I need to dress up otehr than that alpine loop always
In my opinion. If you are in a wedding party I would avoid wearing an Apple Watch and switch it out for something a little more timeless. I know when I take photographs of people I make them take their AW off just so it looks a little more timeless. A big computer on your wrist looks silly. But if you aren’t being photographed then AW is fine.
I wear an ultra all day long but if I’m in a formal party it’s being switched.
I wear my Apple Watch and change the face to match the occasion. My band is nice so no need to switch it out.
