Which ones?

The ones I just scrolled through on the Apple site for the watch. The last one, the $1000 version, looks like a steel version of the thing you'd get on an 80's calculator watch.  Perhaps that's what they were going for, but some different options would be nice (the "Milanese" mesh type is there too, but there don't seem to be any normal oyster, or whatever, types).

E:  Is the Moto360 the only round smartwatch?

Can't afford a watch, don't want one, and don't have plans to buy one.

I do enjoy wearing a watch from time to time.  They were very handy in tests at UT where cell phones were verboten and they grew on me.  Not literally.

I really like the idea of a cell phone wristwatch combo.  Clear out space from my pants pockets.

One day I will probably get one of those.  I am always forgetting to carry my phone with me.  So, essentially it just sits at home and I use it as a handy way to access work email from home.

Good.

Can't afford a watch

Wha?  You do realize that watches come in all price ranges.  Homeless bums on the street can afford to buy a watch if they want one.

No, I don't. I guess I don't really see the point.

For years I never wore one, then I got one as a gift. So I wear it. I guess I'm used to it now. It's not the end of the world if I forget it or anything, but I really do prefer having it on.

I've got a pretty nice watch, but I need to replace the leather strap. Not sure where to get that done here.

The same place you get shoes repaired and key cuts, this may be a common worldwide shop type?

Used to pretty much always wear a watch.  Broke the bands a lot, and about 6 years ago I got tired of that and quit wearing one for everyday use.  I've still got a couple I wear when I have to wear a suit.
