I usually wear an Apple watch Ultra I bought for the heart monitoring feature but once that was resolved, use it for the fitness apps. My Rolex doesn't get worn much so I finally bought a Heiden Nova Series winder that arrived today. I need to wear it more.

I also have an ultra for monitoring my activity. I will wear one of my nicer watches and put the ultra on my right wrist. I know I look nerdy, don’t care.

What do you think?

I think you have a great watch on your wrist, I like mesh for the light weight and good wrap around the wrist, the bezel being shiny isn’t a bad idea as it speaks of quality material which most expensive watches may not even boast of, overall it’s a good watch and excellent purchase.
I love it, please wear with pride. 😉

a few thoughts...

I really enjoy "entry level" watches. There are some very attractive affordable watches from Casio, Timex, Citizen, Seiko and micro-brands using Seiko movements in my collection. Personally my favourite movements are atomic solar movements from Citizen or Casio rather than automatics but I'll even buy a quartz movement if I like the watch. One simple trick I use extensively is applying a circular tempered glass screen protector on mineral crystals.
