Rene Ritchie, writing for iMore, take a variety of passes through the Apple Watch band collection, looking at things like size, weight, and closure. If you are considering an Apple Watch, this is some good food for thought.
Update: In a related post, Take a look at Which Apple Watch Sport band color should you get?. If you are into the Sport band, be sure to check out the “Dirt and damage” section. Also, take a look at the Edition version of the review.
I appreciate those reviews. For example, without the Sport watch version, I might have never realized that when all is said and done, I wear a watch on my wrist. Which is evidently quite close to my hand.
I can think of at least one other way to wear it, but for no more than four hours at a time.
To be fair, people not used to wearing a watch (most people these days!) forget how easy it is to smash/scratch/beat up one.
