I really like my Apple Watch. I use it for what it is, a glorified fitness tracker with additional "communicator" tech.

My only request would be that they make an "Apple bracelet" so that I can wear my nice mechanical watches. It's a pain to jump back and forth because the power reserves on the mechanicals will die, and resetting the time (or worst the date complication) is annoying.

Why don't you use a mechanical watch winder? https://www.amazon.com/s?k=automatic+wrist+watch+winder&hvad...
I kind of feel like I'm agreeing with the original post... but it's just more junk/tech in my home that I don't want.
I’m really jealous of the fitness tracking features of my Apple Watch wearing friends and really annoyed by their flashing displays.

I’d love to have the tracker only too.

Wear two watches and your problems are largely solved. You can even take off the Apple one for fancy events where you want to look like less of a… two watch wearer.
Ha... yea.. I can't become a double watch wearer ha. As someone who like actual watches, that's too much of a faux pas.
