I have a two nice mechanical watches, one which used to be a daily wear. Once I got my Apple Watch I just never wear them anymore. The few times I'm at a black tie event and wear the nicer mechanical one I feel slightly limited. It's a dumb little problem, but I kinda feel like my Apple Watch ruined other watches for me.

I've got a few bands I rotate on it to make it feel a little more special though.

Interestingly, I went the other way. Once I found myself ‘addicted’ to screens I got a nice automatic to check time with, and found that it really helped wean me off screens (I can set down my phone now and not look at it all day, and my quality of life and sleep have improved)

On the contrary, I've had a pebble and two Apple watches (You think I'd have learned after the Pebble, but no)... after few months of wear the smart watches languished in the back of a drawer until I eventually sold them. I'm connected enough without my watch being connected -- for me watches are jewellery and a mechanical marvel that I take personal pleasure out of wearing.

Luckily for me, I have an Apple watch I wear on special occasions only (if I go somewhere too shady to wear the real Omega, or in rough waters since my butterfly clasp is a little loose and has a tendency to come undone in water), and every single time I hate it and can't wait to get back home and switch back to the real mechanical watch.
