Wear an Apple watch on the other arm?

Or wear it right next to the mechanical watch? I can't remember the name but when I was a kid, there was a children's book with a gorilla that sold stolen watches, always had a bunch of them on his arm. That look might work, and then I could have a Garmin too in case the battery dies on my Apple.

  Assuming you're being serious, this would look absolutely goofy as all hell (do you want to look like a goddamn kleptomaniac gorilla?), which is a dealbreaker for someone who wears watches as jewelry, i.e., someone who cares about watch aesthetics.

  It sounds like you're thinking of Bananas Gorilla[1]. That got pretty real in high school when some kids wore half a dozen Swatches[2].

  I do this; I also wear the Apple Watch on the inside of my right wrist instead of the outside, since that makes it FAR more usable for train fare gates and Apple Pay in general. Whenever people ask about the two watches (and it has been EXTREMELY rare), I just point out how convenient it is.
