Ok, solely for the sake of science, I stayed seated for the hour to see if my 'newly' synced Watch (S2) was 100%. Although synced at approximately 1045 it didn't get the Final Warning Stand alert at 1050. But it did get it at 1150 so I'm confident everything is Jake and that I can switch Watches and gain data.

It's nice to be able to walk on either side of the street.

Having been weaned from a Nokia candy bar to the first iPhone, I've never tried Android or used more than one iPhone. Do you have two date/calling plans? Can you switch the SIM back and forth? Apparently ATT locks the SIM to one phone. I've always wondered about buying a SIMless phone and moving mine to it.

I’m with T-Mobile, and I just swap the SIM from one to the other. I did the same when I was an AT&T customer, I wasn’t aware that you could lock a SIM to a single phone. I like having the option to try other devices.

Do both Sync with your iPhone when you switch between them? I assume they must but I'm just curious.

Sorry to be slow responding, I was on a plane when you posted. As MacGuy explained, the phone automatically switches and syncs everything when you take one off and put a different one on. It usually syncs within minutes.

I switch between a Silver Stainless Steel AW2 and my Garmin Fenix 3HR. I prefer my Garmin for sport and training, and with the stainless link band installed for looks in my career which requires wearing a suit. Now that I think of it I prefer the Garmin in all aspects (time is continuously displayed rather than raising wrist, battery lasts weeks, notifications aren't completely annoying, it looks like a traditional time piece, there are not constant finger prints on the screen, apps don't crash, and activity tracking is accurate and reliable), so I guess as of this post I see my apple watch more as a toy than anything else, which I haven't really used much in quite some time.

I have 2 now. Apple Watch and Pebble Time. I only bought the Pebble Time so I had a smart watch I could use on Android if I ever decide to finally run my Moto G5 Plus for a week, or if I get a different phone. That and the Pebble Time was on sale on Amazon for $50.

One, soon to be two. I have an LG Urbane that is almost two years old that I have loved, but it’s not pairing with my iPhone any longer (probably because iOS 11 beta, but hey, any excuse) so I have an Apple Watch S1 on the way.

I currently have 3.
An Apple Watch series 1
A Hwawei watch
A OG Pebble
I have also owned a Samsung galaxy neo , Samsung galaxy S2, Moto 360 1 & 2nd gen, and a Apple Watch series 0.
Come to think of it I even had a MSN smartwatch back in the day.

I have never owned a smart watch and don't intend to buy one. I was glad that having smartphone meant I could see the time without wearing a watch. I enjoy my solitude and have no desire to be instantly notified every time someone sends me a text message, email, or calls my smartphone (which I primarily bought for outgoing calls).

Right now I have a Nike Apple Watch 2 and a Gear Fit 2 that I was using with my S8+. The S8+ and Gear Fit 2 are both going up for sale this weekend though so I'll be back to one phone and one Watch. I intend to keep both for a while. Don't see a need for an upgrade in my future.

I had a kickstarter Pebble. I loved the notifications, but what a piece of crap that watch was. Ugly, and it died in 12 months of not constant use. That watch was probably a good metaphor for Pebble in general.

More than I should admit too 😃. But the Apple Watch S2 is my daily driver. All the rest are either old or for testing.

I have 2. The Apple original in rose gold and the S2 in Gold. I alternate them as the battery needs to be charged. But I monitor my sleep so it is on my wrist all night. I use my S2 when I go swimming.
