Is It Time to Trade My Rolex for a Smart Watch?
Briefly

The article reflects on the evolution of smartwatches since their inception in 2015, highlighting their shift from perceived fashion accessories to important fitness and wellness tools amidst rising popularity. While the aesthetic appeal of wearing gadgets has been questioned, the wrist remains a canvas for self-expression and social signaling. All watches, be they luxury or smart, convey distinct attributes about their wearers, indicating achievement, personal stories, or a commitment to health data. This trend illustrates the deeper connections we forge with technology and its role in our lives today.
As smartwatches have evolved from those early, fruitless attempts to position themselves within the style universe and have become popular as fitness and wellness aids, their popularity has, understandably, grown.
All watches are in one way or another a flex. That's as true for a Rolex as a Patek Philippe as a Swatch as an Apple watch.
