Does it look odd if someone wears both a fitness tracker and an analog watch?

[Anonymous]

I love wearing my Fitbit and counting steps, but I cannot read the time on it when I am outside. The display only works inside. (This may be due to my poor eyesight, I don't know) So I would like to get an analog watch to wear too. Do you think it would look odd to wear them together on the same wrist? Maybe with a bracelet in-between them? Would you do this?

Oh it looks perfectly normal, nobody will notice...

I would assume you work in a secure facility and can't bring in your fitbit.

Do what works for you and don't care how it looks to others! I know someone who for years wore a fitness tracker on one wrist and an analog watch on the other. I don't know what brand fitness tracker it was, but it looked more like a thick black rubber bracelet than a tracker with a watch-type face. He loves watches and has quite a few so he wasn't going to give up wearing his good-looking old-school watches! But he never wore the tracker on the same arm. Just for me (again, you do what works for you), I'd wear them on different wrists which to me looks more "balanced" and reduces the tracker bumping the watch all the time, which isn't good for either, probably.

Yes it looks weird.

I think this is one reason Apple Watches are so popular.

I do it. I love my old fashioned Cartier tank but also wear a fitbit. My fitbit is one of the narrower ones so not as big as an apple watch.

if you have to do this, switch to one of the fitness trackers that is either a ring or a bracelet. don't do two watches, it'll look mega weird.

This is one of those things that I don’t care about at all.

...but so ugly.

OP, search "non-watch fitness trackers" and look for slim ones with no "watch" face on them. They're out there. The ones with watch faces are not only ugly, they're clunky. Wear one of the non-watch slim types on one arm and your watch on the other arm. I would not wear them together or stack them with additional bracelets, though--that would be a LOT going on on one arm.

Yet you took the time to open the thread, write that sentence, and post it....Your interest in performing a lack of interest is odd.

I think the point was — people won’t care, might not even notice, and therefore it’s not an odd thing to do.

Just wear them on different arms and no one will (should) care.

Watches are for people who need to report to others, on time.

I don’t wear watches. I do things when it suits me. Not on other people’s schedules.

Understanding that is your first step out of the peasantry. Most people never take it.
